last updated 3/11/2010 The Team Media Action Planning Project In the Citizenship Course, INTG 415 - "Media and the Self-Directed Citizen" - Fall 2009, the major project for the course required teams of Monmouth College seniors to develop plans for how media, and especially new electronic communication media, could be used by ordinary citizens to accomplish significant, socially useful activities at a local level. The outcome of this project was to be a media strategy plan that defined how students in teams imagine citizens could work together using both traditional media (newspapers and magazines, direct mail, radio and television, face-to-face meetings) and "new media" (i.e. internet and interactive media) to accomplish a socially desirable, civic purpose. Teams were required present to the class (and appropriate others) the strategy in the form of a visual aid supported, oral presentation and to create a written and detailed outline of the key elements of the plan. The plan was to be targeted toward a local community need as defined and discovered by the teams. Linked here is a detailed description of the requirements of the action plan assignment. Below is a list of the teams, their members, and the titles of their chosen action project concept. Links below each team listing take you to the action plan outlines prepared for this assignment as well as the PowerPoint presentation slides used by the teams in their oral reports. Each of the plans represented a realistic project that could be conducted with useful outcomes here on the Monmouth campus or in the local community.
