Noel Studio Provides Consultations to Williamsburg Independent Schools

On Monday, November 25th, the Noel Studio’s Rusty Carpenter collaborated with students at Williamsburg Independent Schools to provide feedback on their presentations. Students delivered brief research-based presentations in front of peers at their campus in Williamsburg, KY, and via ITV with the Noel Studio in Richmond, KY. Students received feedback responding to a variety of communication strategies, including those that integrate oral, written, visual, nonverbal, and multimodal elements as well as encouragement to students and points of reflection for further revision. The Williamsburg students will spend the next week revising based on feedback and deliver their final presentations for their teachers in class.

Teachers at a variety of levels also benefit from these consultations. Consulting multimodal communication projects is an ongoing point of professional development as Williamsburg continues to develop a written and oral communication curriculum. Through these collaborative sessions, teachers hear and reflect on questions and suggestions about student presentations.

Feedback focused on the integration of text and visual elements, oral and nonverbal communication skills, as well as honing important rhetorical decisions as students consider their audience, purpose, and context for designing communication.

The Noel Studio offers consultations from highly trained graduate and undergraduate students on an hourly basis in EKU’s nationally innovative Noel Studio as well as online consultations for eCampus and Regional Campus students.
