Academic photo-essays
October 29th, 2009 at 19:04I’m wondering about setting a photoessay as an assessment for a postgrad class next year (to try and break the mold of everything being lots and lots of words), and was wondering if anyone knew of some good examples of how to do that?

Photoessays in the Teaching of Marketing

Abstract (Summary)
A photoessay is a group of photographs with a common theme, used as instruction through its presentation, accompanied by narration. Through a qualitative study embedded within an action research process, photoessays have been found to aid knowledge construction through a reinforcement of understanding, feedback, cognitive efficiency, reflection, creativity, motivation, and emotional resonance. These learning dimensions also serve to aid students’ transfer abilities. The study also shows how photoessays should be constructed and instructed to facilitate such learning. To achieve this, photoessays must reflect theory, capture emotions, provide perspectives, allow for students to abstract theory, and participate in the discovery of information. Although presenting the photoessay may help students learn and apply knowledge, its construction also helps educators integrate their practice, knowledge, and teaching while fostering creativity.
