Knowledge Mobilization implies taking your research or professional knowledge out of academic contexts and making it accessible to more general audiences, whether it be the public, potential funders, or even future employers. Video making and audio production skills, for example, demonstrate a capacity for communication that meets contemporary expectations, and thus can significantly serve your content and related methodological learning.
Filming a Research or Professional Pitch (2-part Workshop)
Learn the fundamentals of effective visual communication in this hands-on two-part workshop where you will plan, film, and edit a short video (60–120 seconds) pitching your research, professional, or business ideas using your smartphone and peripheral devices (e.g, tripod, teleprompter, microphone, etc.) available through the Filmmaker Studio of the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons. Limited to five participants, you will also gain hands-on production experience acting as "technical crew" for one another. No better way to learn!
