The Academic Impact of Documentary Films: The Faculty and Librarian Perspectives
Manage episode 484105730 series 2848568
In the third episode of this four-part series, we turn to faculty and librarian perspectives on documentary film collection development and use in curricula. First, Virginia Espino, Continuing Lecturer in the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies at UCLA, outlines how she measures learning outcomes when using documentaries as learning tools, including peer discussion and handwritten reflections to test student understanding. Next, Gisèle Tanasse, UC Berkeley’s Film and Media Services Librarian, shares how the library can partner with faculty to develop multimodal learning experiences that build media literacy skills. Last, both guests reflect on what makes access to and representation in documentary films key components of student education. They touch on librarians acting as “custodians of cultural history” and the incredible historical moments and lived experiences captured in documentaries that create a comprehensive and visceral archive for viewers and researchers to explore.
