La Salle University’s Education Department: A Historical Digital Documentary
A Study of a University’s Education Department and its Teacher Educators
A Professor of Education and two undergraduate student researchers created this exploratory historical digital documentary which illuminates the major evolutionary changes that the La Salle University Education Department has undergone over the past four or five decades. It reveals, for instance, the Education Department’s history and evolutionary, programmatic and administrative changes; its overall sense of values and mission; its intradepartmental collegiality; and its collective identity. Historical digital documentaries such as this are valuable in preserving institutional culture because they provide educators and historians with new ways to represent, preserve, and transmit information through generations via a combination of audio, visual, and textual components. The 41-minute digital story may be viewed in its entirety, or in convenient segments on your computer, iPod, or MP3 player.
