Some students seek assistance from a digital literacy consultant because their professors assign digital projects that require familiarity with new software. Other students are seeking some help with a digital tool to create a video or audio recording.
Digital project support is free to UNE undergrad students and available at designated drop-in times and by appointment. Students are assisted by Digital Literacy Consultants, who are undergraduates familiar with the WordPress software running UNEPortfolios in addition to a range of other digital tools used to complete a project – either for a class or out of personal interest.
- Consultants offer guidance and assistance for students to create projects. Consultants do not create and edit projects.
- For assistance with tasks in ePortfolio, a half hour appointment is typically enough.
- For assistance with editing audio or video projects, an hour appointment is advisable if you are unfamiliar with editing software.
- Audio recording using Audacity or Garageband may be done during appointments, depending on room availability.
