The Rise and Fall of Tobacco in the Lake City Market Area: A Case Study of Technology-intensive Community-based Research
Abstract
In 2005, Clemson University’s SC LIFE Project and South Carolina’s Florence School District Three began a collaborative project to catalyze research among teachers and students in the rural community. This project piloted the concept of using Web-based videoconferencing to allow university faculty to facilitate research in a precollege setting. This technology removed the more than 200 miles distance between the partners as an impediment to the participation of district teachers and students in Clemson University programs. To prepare teachers for the research, an online course was developed and disseminated from Clemson University via Macromedia Breeze. Teachers and administrators from Florence District Three met with Clemson University faculty through videoconferencing and bulletin board technology. District personnel chose the theme, “The Rise and Fall of Tobacco in the Lake City Market Area.” The school district personnel also gained proficiency in digital technology skills (e.g. Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Premier Elements, Movie Maker) that they and their students used to collect information and create a final DVD.
