Michael Clarke conducting a MoJo Training The Mojo Academic is our premier Mojo Kit for the classroom. Its aim is to help students gain a practical understanding of how to develop and produce a story. But what about the educators who have to teach this material?
International Media Solutions has created a MoJo Professional Development course for teachers, professors, and mentors. Through the MoJo Professional Development course educators are exposed to everything one would need to teach a multimedia course including: journalism ethics, basics of light and sound, interviewing techniques, photo and video editing, principles of composition, and the chance to produce their own video package and ask critical questions of the peers and community throughout the process.

The blended online course, hosted on iTunes U, begins with a goal setting exercise and moves on to an overview technology components and safety and culture sensitivities. Then the curriculum moves to how media plays a role in civic engagement and social activism. Next participants learn video story essentials like storyboarding and shooting in the field, helping to unbolt the classroom. Afterwards teachers learn how to operate the Mojo Kit, understand the best practices for shooting, and practice shooting. Finally teachers go through the post-production process ending with a final short video product to demonstrate what they learned.
Our unique approach allow for collaborative learning and team building in the classroom, as well as engage tech savvy students to explore the world outside of the classroom. As part of this new initiative we created a Mojo Advisory Board composed of Max V. Grubb Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Youngstown State University; Karl Idsvoog, Professor at Kent State University and trainer for journalists, business executives and information specialists; and Samuel Compton, a specialist in advocacy, accountability, with a long history of international work including the Institute of War & Peace Reporting.
Upon completion of the course you'll be able to lead your students through the multimedia creation process while gaining real life experience in producing a news story.
