Blackboard

The Voice of the Active Learner

Categories: Animation  Featured  Illustrations 

Education software maker Blackboard approached us to create a motion graphic depicting the changing state of education. The video was to focus on today's students — active learners — who no longer passively wait in a classroom to be taught but rather seek out information on their own. Although told from the perspective of a student, we incorporated data that appealed to various audiences within the educational community - including faculty and administration. In the end, the piece directs the viewer to "keep up" with the current pace of education today. If you think you have the stamina, we challenge you to watch this 2 minute short film on the active learner. Just remember to stretch first. The video kicked off Blackboard CEO Michael Chasen's keynote address at the annual BbWorld Conference held in New Orleans.
