How to Become a Consultant

Undergraduate students interested in becoming a consultant must complete ENG 391, the academic course of study that prepares students for hands-on consulting.

ENG 391 (Studies in Digital Studio Theory and Practice) is a course that allows students to explore the principles of digital literacy and multimodal design, to produce and critique multimedia projects, and to learn the best practices for providing helpful feedback.

ENG 391 is offered every semester and has no restrictions for registering for it.

Responsibilities as a Consultant

Consultants at the Digital ACT Studio provide collaborative, dialogue-based consultations, workshop presentations, and orientation tours. At the Digital ACT Studio, we conduct individual and group consultations. The goal of the Digital Act Studio is to help people become better designers and consult with designers on how to use technology meaningfully.

Consultants:

• Provide feedback during the composing, creation, and editing phases,
• Help designers with ideas, organization, storyboarding and planning, determining the best platform or software for their project, design, style, and much more.
• Help designers determine whether or not they are effectively reaching their audience,
• Prompt designers to think about their rhetorical choices (audience, purpose, and context),
• Provide feedback on visual elements and aesthetic design.

The Digital ACT Studio strives to provide professionally trained faculty and student staff to help faculty create appropriate, pedagogically effective digital assignments and to help students make their digital assignments more rhetorically and aesthetically compelling.
