LAITS Student Technology Assistants collaborate with the College of Liberal Arts faculty and administration by re-imagining their instructional and promotional projects with a creative use of video, audio, web and graphic design. STAs learn technical skills on the job with LAITS development studio staff. They build presentations, produce audio/visual works, scan text documents & perform image correction. STAs are instrumental in helping COLA faculty realize their vision for instructional technology projects used to enhance the teaching and learning experience.

Center for Professional Education PPT

August 13, 2017 By Anna Xu

I worked with Bethany to reformat this PowerPoint by the Center for Professional Education. The PowerPoint was to be used as a proposal for the CPE to collaborate with LAITS on future PowerPoints (or something like that…).

Bethany worked on the awesome title cards you see below and I helped with finding (copyright-free) images and reformatting the content slides.

 

Recommended repositories for copyright-free images:

Pixabay     |     Pexels     |     Unsplash     |     Flickr     |     The Stocks

 

Edits we made: account for picture-in-picture, changed body typeface from Segoe to Helvetica, added images, use the Canvas-button blue as the main color we used to highlight important content, used STA online course PPT branding (e.g. branding bar on bottom, thin color bar on top)

Office of Technology Commercialization Video Cards

August 13, 2017 By Anna Xu

I was assigned to create three items for a video introducing some new technological advancements from the Office of Technology Commercialization:

  1. Title card
  2. Caption (“lower-thirds”) bar
  3. End card w/ contact info

I communicated with Suloni and Kelly to generate some psd/pngs from the templates that graphics STAs use for course PPTs. We decided to incorporate the orange color from the Canvas button template and the Helvetica bold font that we typically use for PowerPoints in the design. This task was completed within the day it was assigned.

Of the cards depicted below, the ones on the left-hand side were ultimately chosen for the video.

I’ve been doing a lot scanning for Prof. Edlund-Berry, as well as editing few of the photo scans that Jaclyn has done! Here are the ones I worked on today – I worked to get rid of the scratches on the photos.
