Creating Compelling Stories of Water, Land and Family (Conference Paper/Presentation)
Title: Creating Compelling Stories of Water, Land and Family
Author: Juk Bhattacharyya
Author: Marjorie E. Rhine
Abstract: This presentation shares how two faculty members developed assignments based on ArcGIS story-maps after grant travel plans, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, were quashed by Covid-19 restrictions. Unable to explore sites for domestic travel-study, we sought alternative ways to create experiential learning around freshwater issues. We developed digital story-map assignments using ArcGIS, a software that allows dynamic ways to visualize geographical statistics but also allows students to create compelling stories to relay research findings. By creating a visually appealing story combining narrative, photographs, maps and video links, students are immersed in a high-impact learning experience, challenged to translate their newly acquired knowledge to a wider, public audience. This presentation shares how we developed, scaffolded and assessed ArcGIS story-map assignments in Freshman Composition and an Environmental Geology course.
