From 20 July - 15 August, a team of 16 students from Miami University, Oxford, OH, USA, is applying their education through a consulting project for the Digital Hub Development Agency (DHDA). This project is part of a interdisciplinary workshop course in Interactive Media Studies (IMS) which includes students studying marketing, engineering, journalism, and management. The course is part of a capstone experience that requires students to understand context, think critically, and engaging with others. The students are developing a strategic vision for the DHDA that incorporates trends in education, visualization technology, and sustainable business practices into a new Information Technology plan that can support the DHDA mission.
