MAC: Launching Academics at Brown into the Digital Age

 
 


Inspiration
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a video or an animation can be worth even more when it comes to getting your ideas across in an engaging way! That's the inspiration behind Brown's Multimedia Across Campus (MAC) program.
Consider the following:
• A written account of the immigrant experience in Providence is certainly worthwhile, but what if your project could include actual video interviews or audio recordings of city residents, as a highly engaging primary source to add depth to your ideas?
• What if your groundbreaking research paper on the mating habits of the spiny echidna could instead be a richly illustrated, publicly available web site?

Resources
CIS is making substantial resources available to ensure that projects like the above are within everyone's reach.
