ID305: Practicum Ravens Sports Network V

This practicum is designed to provide students of any major with highly transferable experience in all aspects of live field production, from pre-production through production, as on-air talent, behind-the-scenes crew, or as an assistant producer/director. Through Ravens Sports Network, and under the direction of professional Fitzwater Center staff, students will work in teams of 4-6 to deliver professional-level livestreaming of Ravens Athletics to the FloCollege global platform, launched in 2024. As the semester begins, students will be exposed to a broad range of opportunities for professional development; at the end of the first month, they will self-select the skills they seek to focus on, including in management, technology and communication. The student must work a minimum of 40 hours per semester, primarily in the field but also in weekly production meetings. Prerequisite: None. Offered in Fall and Spring semesters, Winter Term, Summer Terms 1 and 2; post-regular season championship practicum possible. May be repeated for general elective credit. Honors credit is available.
