Knapp媒体和技术实习生

从2002年开始, an additional gift from Betsy and Bud allowed the College to hire eight to ten Wellesley undergraduates each summer to develop technical expertise as they created and managed technology-enhanced teaching and learning projects. 暑期伊始，学生们很快就接受了HTML的培训, CSS, 数字视频和音频, 动画, 项目管理, 以及其他关键的教学技术技能. 然后, pairs of students were matched with faculty who had an instructional technology project and who could commit to working with students to finish the projects over the summer.

 

从2002年夏天到2008年夏天, 60多名卫尔斯理学生参加了Knapp暑期教学技术实习. In 2009, Wellesley modified the Knapp intern program to respond to the changing technology landscape and changing staffing patterns.  而不是在夏季雇佣8到10名本科生，为期两个月, we chose to hire one recent Wellesley graduate to work on special instructional and/or emerging technology projects for twelve months.  在接下来的几年里, Knapp graduate interns worked on projects including the support of our initial web content management system, 我们的学习管理系统, 启动奥尔布赖特研究所的网络直播, the transition to Gmail and Google Apps (now known as G Suite); testing for a learning management system based on Google Sites and Google Apps; the pilot for an interactive whiteboards in classrooms; and web development in Drupal and PHP, 网站重新设计和实施, 响应式设计研究.

 

截至2017年, Knapp的实习生继续从事前沿项目, 尽管他们现在全年都在工作, 因为他们又成了本科生. 他们的许多项目都涉及数字建模和制作, 数字三维空间(又名虚拟现实), 和3D动画. 有关更多信息，请参见 克纳普的项目 页面，当前网站为 Knapp媒体和技术中心的报告 纳普在世界创客大会上实习 2016年秋天.

 

 

我喜欢在纳普实习的那个夏天. 我交了新朋友, 我学到了管理长期项目的有用技能, and I felt like I made tangible contributions to Wellesley's academic resources by creating websites for different courses and departments. 现在我已经完成了英语博士学位，并开始了大学写作指导的职业生涯, the knowledge I gained as a Knapp intern shapes how I think about using technology to enhance my own students' learning experiences. 我将永远感激这次实习, 也感谢贝特西·纳普让这一切成为可能. 

 

 

 

 

对于我的科技事业来说，没有比在纳普实习更完美的开端了. 在韦尔斯利大学的最后一年，我发现了我对创建在线产品的热情, so I was thrilled to be accepted to a program where I could spend the summer honing my skills on campus before entering the full-time job market. 当时, 最让我兴奋的是我正在培养的技术技能, 但现在我意识到，实习最宝贵的经验教训是团队合作和领导能力. 当我完成节目的时候, I landed a dream job building the blogging platforms that allowed writers to share their stories with millions of people. Many thanks to Betsy and her family for an opportunity that has set the stage for a very fulfilling career in technology.

 

 

 

Working on projects as a Knapp Intern has impacted my understanding of what it means to engage in digital humanities, 以及这个领域存在的困难. 必须在诸如如何表示真实物体的3D模型等方面做出选择, 以及模型是否应该专注于单个区域或细节, 或者整个物体. 通过这种批判性的分析来参与材料不仅帮助我成为一个更好的学生, 同时也为毕业后的生活做准备.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Knapp internship provided me an opportunity to put the skills I'd learned in my computer science classes to use in a meaningful way and opened my eyes to how I may use some of this knowledge in the "real world". 同时, 我与韦尔斯利的教职员工建立了牢固的关系，这种关系一直持续到今天. 实习教会了我很强的项目管理能力, 如何在团队中成为一个有效的队友, and design thinking/prototyping - all of these skills serve me well in my current job and as I've continued my education. I'm thankful for the development opportunities that the Knapp internship provided me and as well as for the fact that in allowed me to spend a summer on the beautiful Wellesley campus.
The Knapp Center was my second home at Wellesley - I started working there my sophomore year and spent countless hours there working and doing homework during the rest of my time at Wellesley. It's one of my mandatory stops every time I'm back on campus; I love seeing how it's changed and what remains the same. I feel so honored to have been part of Knapp at Wellesley and to still be in contact with many of the other students and staff that I worked with!

 

 

Knapp实习不仅让我走上了web开发的道路, 但也为我至今的整个职业生涯铺平了道路. The experience of working directly with faculty and staff at Wellesley was invaluable during my time as a Web Developer at Case Western Reserve University, 并进一步为我管理目前在进步保险公司的数字团队做好了准备. 实习让我把激情和才华转化为现实世界的应用, 为我提供了一位出色的导师，他的建议至今仍在指导着我.

 

 

 

 

 

在我追求媒体艺术的过程中 & 韦尔斯利的科学学院, 克纳普实习是激发我兴趣的绝佳途径, 在现实世界中. 我的项目多种多样，而且具有教育意义, 从设计一个皇冠体育光污染对浮游动物影响的网站, 创建中文教程flash动画. They allowed me to practice the art of gathering strong requirements from clients while balancing creativity and professionalism. 我很荣幸有导师和同事支持和挑战我, 他告诉我，享受和你一起工作的人往往和你做什么一样重要.
这些教训在我的职业生涯中一直很有用, 从自由网页和平面设计, 在一家大型生物技术公司工作，创造软件用户体验. 他们灌输了一种对优秀设计要素的欣赏, 不管我是在为社交媒体拍照, 注意产品包装上字体的选择, 或者编写演示文稿的幻灯片. 我要感谢贝琪·纳普给我的礼物, 还有很多其他女性, this opportunity to learn the fundamentals and gain confidence in our abilities as professional equals early on in our development.
