Sustainability Stories: Media and Mapping to Promote Awareness of Sustainable Activities
This immersive learning project creates a website featuring an interactive map that details and promotes organizations operating sustainably in Indiana. Journalism students produced original media content highlighting various organizations during fall 2021, and Geography students incorporated the media content into a publicly available online map during spring 2022.
Mapping the History and Memory FOR and WITH the Whitely Community in Muncie
The Whitely Community is a traditionally African American neighborhood in Muncie that, from a historical point of view, has not been “on the map”, both literally and metaphorically. The aim of this interdisciplinary immersive learning project is to produce paper and virtual maps together with the neighborhood association and the broader community to tell personal histories of Whitely in time and space. Special emphasis is given to so-called story maps that combine individual accounts, memories of place, images and videos and allow map users to navigate through the past and present of the neighborhood.
