Experience
In 2005, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Arts degree from the University of South Florida. My goal was to become a journalist and I took a job as a technical director for USF’s College of College of Engineering. This was my first introduction to the land of distance learning. We used a telephone routing system to allow people at several different locations dial in and we live streamed the lectures to various locations. From there I moved to work in sports broadcasting as a master control operator and then I was promoted to leased access coordinator. My responsibilities included coordinating daily programming, intercepting feeds from locations and ingesting materials for air. Those skills easily transferred into news production. I worked as an audio operator and production assistant. Throughout my time working in broadcast, I wanted to be a freelance journalist so I changed careers and pursued jobs as a TV Production teacher. Since I became a teacher, I’ve been able to start my own production company and employ former students as freelances in event coverage and production.
Background
Jenevieve Jackson
Teacher, freelance filmmaker, instructional designer
Throughout my development as a teacher, I have been able to explore more deeply the television and media landscape as it applied to instructional design. I’ve created a project-based course that gives students hands on experience in producing videos as well as a thorough understanding of the skills needed to work with a group. Unlike many other courses, there was no official template on how this course should be taught. While designing my own unique curriculum for this course, I was introduced to a myriad of resources as well as technology that helped engage students and build solid skills.
