Leading media innovation within Notre Dame Learning, the Creative Media Team looks forward to accompanying you to design and create impactful learning media. We are an in-house production studio of industry seasoned artists and film-makers compelled to enhance the student learning experience through the creation of innovative, high-end pedagogical media.
In addition to the production of traditional learning media, the Creative Media team rethinks the importance of the role that storytelling plays in crafting engaging learning experiences. Our work ranges from stand-alone one-off videos to course-wide series, engaged scholarship documentaries, virtual reality, 3D animation & motion graphics, and international on-site work. We also help to define creative and visual treatments that deepen and enrich the student learning experience.

Example Projects:
Narrative Based Courseware
The creation of a narrative around instructional content deepens learning engagement and frames content in a novel way. This can take the shape in short-form stories told within a single video or through a series of videos that span the length of a course.
Documentary & On-Location Production
Whether traveling across campus, across the country, or internationally, shooting video on location is the most natural way to contextualize a subject.
Animation
Animation allows instructors to visually demonstrate topics in a variety of ways that go beyond traditional video.
Studio Production
When location filming is not possible, or when the needs of the project determine otherwise, studio filming offers a professional and consistent style.
Interviews
Interviews are a great way to introduce subject matter expert knowledge or perspective to a given topic, whether on campus or beyond.
Self-Produced Media
In addition to directly producing media for a given project, we’re also able to help instructors in a variety of ways from getting started on producing media entirely on their own to playing a supportive role in their self-production. See some examples of how we’ve been able to help instructors take lead of the media in their courses.
VR (Virtual Reality)
Virtual Reality video is a great way to create immersive learning experiences.
