BSU Textbook Supplement Project Benefits Students and School

Through an innovative project, Ball State University students are creating digital supplements to the textbooks they use. Students film, edit and produce digital content and educational videos, gaining real world experience they can take into the workplace. 

"In return the student gets not only an education, but also a professional credit for their resume, and important and valuable marketplace contacts," says Rodger Smith, director of BSU's Institute for Digital Entertainment and Education. "Ball State gets a portion of the cost of the project back from the vendor. It is a winning situation for the student, for the faculty mentor and for the university."
