AECT - Legends and Legacies Project

Full Session: Concurrent Session

Short Description

The AECT Legends and Legacies Project is grassroots effort to preserve the stories of those individuals who have contributed to the advancement of the field of instructional design and technology. The initiative began over 10 years ago as an informal project among AECT members to capture the personal histories of our leaders through video interviews, largely recorded at our national convention. About five years ago, the presenters took on the next phase of the project, an effort to create an online archive in which to store these videos and make them publicly accessible. Additionally, interviews have been conducted at our conferences, as well as in the homes and offices of leaders who may no longer be traveling to the convention. More recently, the work has focused on the digitizing of existing analog interviews in order to contribute them to the archive. Come join us to learn about the latest iteration of this project and provide feedback regarding its use and design.
