- Abstract
- This case study examines a library design competition, “GIFABLE UNC”, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during Fall 2017. Students were challenged to create GIFs, a developing social media, to capture UNC culture. This case study details and investigates the competition’s success as an example of Connected Learning pedagogy for students. Connected Learning is a multifaceted pedagogical framework that encourages and supports building capacity and community for students through various frames including purposeful, productive, and interested-based learning and work. This case study found that “GIFABLE UNC” succeeded on some fronts, particularly value for students, but that further research and experimentation is required for this type of event to fully inhabit Connected Learning design criteria and features of new media.
