Funded by a Provost Immersive Learning Grant, Transmedia Indiana involved 30 Ball State students and a partnership with the Indiana State Museum to create a transmedia story with the following elements:

• A 45,000-word fictional novella that stands alone as a single book.
• An interactive mobile app for e-readers, complete with embedded audio, video and text through which audiences can read — and experience — the story.
• A series of non-fiction websites built around historical artifacts from the museum that relate to the fictional storyline.
• A live event that completes the story, which will culminate at the museum and showcase the artifacts that the story revolves around.

The team first showcased their work in a breakfast event at Ball State, which included Ball State administrators and faculty, as well as representatives from the Indiana State Museum and the City of New Harmony, one of the locations involved in the transmedia story.

The museum hosted the public live event and exhibit Friday through Sunday, April 27-29, granting the public the chance to get an inside look at the fictional story, view actual artifacts from Indiana’s history, and explore student-created websites featuring both fictional and non-fictional content. The exhibit also featured a video game that will take visitors on a trek through the Transmedia Indiana exhibit and the Indiana State Museum.

The project has already been recognized as a finalist for a TechPoint Mira Award, Indiana’s “Academy Awards” for technological innovation throughout the state.

Individuals who were not able to make it to the event can still participate by filling out this online form. For more information, visit http://transmediaindiana.com/ or check out Transmedia Indiana on Facebook and Twitter @TransIndy.

This project was coordinated through Ball State’s Building Better Communities Fellows, an immersive learning program in which interdisciplinary teams of students and a faculty mentor are paired with Indiana businesses and organizations to address real-world problems. Students earn course credit while putting their academic knowledge into action and connecting with potential employers.

During this final semester of the project, the team worked with the Henry Ford Academy in Dearborn, MI, and the Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI, as well as four schools in Indiana: South Bend Career Academy Middle and High School, Xavier School of Excellence Elementary and Middle School in South Bend, Community Montessori K-12 in New Albany, IN, and Geist Montessori K-8 in McCordsville, IN. The team developed solutions for both new construction and the adaptive reuse of existing buildings. Ball State students were also involved in traveling to the schools, interviewing charter school students and faculty, discussing and presenting ideas to school administration and board members, contributing to school profiles and examining curriculum, funding and facility planning.

The team has developed a printed guidebook and website to share their recommendations on improving spatial planning and design of K-12 environments.

Students manned their poster displays to interact with visitors and answer questions about their research. A number of projects incorporated emerging media elements as a means for collecting and visualizing data, a vehicle for sharing results, or a research topic in and of itself.

This month, we’re featuring video interviews with the following students (and one faculty member) about their projects that incorporate emerging media:

Patrick Sager (Information Systems and Operations Management): City of Greenfield Evidence Collection

Korbin Shoemaker (Technology): GeoMobile Learning: Capitalizing upon Smart Phones to Examine Local Energy Systems

Kara Sterling and Yi-Hua Weng (Geological Sciences): An iPhone Application to Collect Hydrological Data for the BSU Geothermal Project

Using up-to-date historiography, the Ball State team replaced fading film, missing perspectives and outdated documentaries with a new social studies video curriculum about the life of Revolutionary War figure George Rogers Clark. The student actor who portrayed Rogers Clark was joined by dozens of historical re-enacters who provided their own costumes, artifacts and expertise to the video shoots. Extensive research, scriptwriting, filming, editing and animation resulted in a dynamic learning tool for Indiana students.

Students earn course credit while putting their academic knowledge into action and connecting with potential employers.

Team members thoroughly researched the Hoosier author’s work and life, and even conducted interviews with the author’s family and friends, including his daughter in Boston. This content was used to create a multimedia tour of the museum, an interactive Vonnegut family genealogy, and a tour highlighting historic locations connected to Vonnegut’s family in Indianapolis. Video and audio elements are accessible on smartphones or tablet devices through Quick Response (QR) codes, adding a new interactive dimension to the museum’s exhibits.

These enhancements were previewed for the media at the library on April 30, and will be featured at the Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association’s First Friday event on May 4. Docent-led tours will incorporate many of the multimedia elements, and the library hopes to soon provide rental tablets for visitors.

According to preliminary figures, more than 90,000 registered attendees flocked to the event, including nearly 25,000 international registrants from 151 countries. The show is the world’s largest electronic media event covering filmed entertainment and the development, management and delivery of content across all mediums.

The students – Ben Wagner (Senior), Paul Weller (Senior), Kayla Eiler (Senior), Hannah Barrick (Sophomore), and Alex Kartman (Graduate Student) worked as Sony representatives in their convention booth, answering visitors’ questions about everything from cameras to new technology to workflow solutions, and selling equipment to prospective buyers.

In addition to their crash course on current Sony products, the students got a sneak peek at brand new technology that is just now hitting the professional market. Eiler and Kartman said that they were both “blown away” by the new 4K technology, the next step beyond high definition.

“It was incredible to talk and network with industry professionals about the future of broadcasting,” said Kartman.

Eiler was able to use her expertise with the NX5 camera, which she uses daily in Ball State’s Teleplex, to help promote the product in the Sony booth. “Being able to spend quality time with talented students [from across the country] was both eye-opening and reassuring – the talent and skills of the Ball State students were equivalent to theirs, and the students from larger schools were impressed that we have the chance to participate in immersive learning projects, said Eiler. We may be just college kids from the Midwest, but we are far from being out of the game.”

Majestic older homes in historic districts and aging courthouses might get a second look from passersby as a result of a new website and documentary created by Ball State University.

Under the direction of Chris Flook, a Ball State telecommunications instructor, students in an interdisciplinary immersive learning class have produced the documentary, “Stories and Legends: Historic Preservation in Muncie, a major component of the website Historic Muncie.”

Muncie Star Press

i.M.A.D.E designed, fabricated, and installed custom machined plywood and aluminum work pods for the Center for Media Design unit at Ball State University. Designed primarily in Rhino and Grasshopper, the geometries are informed from a zero-waste strategy of cutting small undulating strips from full plywood sheets, eliminating plywood off-cut waste. This “slice and dice” fabrication method reinforces the natural properties and aesthetic of plywood striations, while creating gradient effects of varying thickness and porosity that change dynamically over time, lighting conditions, and vantage point.

• Brad King and Jennifer George-Palilonis (Journalism) for Transmedia Indiana
• Jay Bagga (Computer Science)
• Vinayak Tanksale (Computer Science)

But Gestwicki, an associate professor of computer science, did not set out to design board games. Rather, as a fellow with the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry (VBC), Gestwicki has led a multidisciplinary team of students in the development of video games that incorporate the best components of game design and exemplify the intersection of fun and learning. Gestwicki and his students are devoted full-time to this unique seminar experience, and they have been given an entire floor at the Kitselman House, a historic-off-campus home which houses the VBC. The student team included majors in computer science, accounting, visual communication, art, psychology, history, music media production, theater and creative writing.

In this space, the students established their own game development studio, “Root Beer Float Studio,” and were challenged by Gestwicki through a series of creative “sprints” to explore and prototype the outer limits of game design. The students have shared their thoughts and experiences throughout the process on the Game, Fun, and Learning blog.

On April 23, Root Beer Float Studio will unveil their brand-new game, “Mystery at the Museum,” created in partnership with the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the world’s largest children’s museum. According to the team, the game “allows children to have fun and discover new ideas even after leaving the museum.” The premiere will take place in L.A. Pittenger Student Center Cardinal Hall, with a reception at 6:30 pm and presentation at 7:00 pm. To RSVP for the event, contact the Virginia Ball Center by April 9.

“Mobile application design is finding its way into museums, from the Smithsonian to the American Museum of Natural History and the Indianapolis Museum of Art,” said Bradbury. “These apps have opened doors for museum-goers to not only access additional information about artistic pieces, but also to connect with art experts, museum staff and fellow visitors in unprecedented ways.”

This spring, students in Bradbury’ Visual Communications Technologies course were challenged to develop mobile apps that address three themes suggested by staff of the Owsley Museum of Art – museum wayfinding, African art and visitor feedback.

On March 27, the students presented their interactive apps at a public showcase in the museum. Attendees had the opportunity to try out the apps and provide one-on-one feedback to the students.

Turner Sports partnered with Ball State Sports Link for a second year in a row in the operations of the NCAA® March Madness Live® social functionality, known as Social Arena.

Twenty-five students, instructor Chris Taylor and graduate assistant Alex Kartman have performed a variety of support and programming tasks, including:

• research and collection of tournament trivia
• creating daily trivia programming for use inside the March Madness Live products and the March Madness Live twitter feeds
• assisting in creating and monitoring the 68-team feeds found only in the March Madness Live products
• monitoring and participating in fan-generated clip grabbing and sharing
• editing and producing featured game clips for the Social Arena

In addition, senior Kyle Binder and junior Josh Blessing served as the student team’s executive social producers for the event, assisting social operations center staff at the Turner studios March 17-18.

For 2012, Ball State Sports Link has setup a remote social operation on campus identical to the one in Turner’s digital Event Operations Center. This has allowed students to get experience using the same workflows and tools for social monitoring and programming as used at the Turner broadcasting facility in Atlanta — a one-of-a-kind live operations center for digital products.

The content of the Social Arena is visible to fans within all of the March Madness Live products, available from www.NCAA.com/marchmadness, the Apple App store, Google Play as well as the NCAA’s March Madness Facebook page.

Turner Sports has chosen to work with Ball State’s Sports Link program based on its award-winning collegiate sports productions, its unique immersive approach to sports production education, and the caliber of students involved in the program.

Turner Sports has been committed to involving college students from communications and production programs in its NCAA.com productions, including its coverage of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament. The continued growth and expansion of Turner’s digital coverage of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball tournament offers students an unparalleled opportunity to learn.

Ball State Sports Link started preparation for the tournament in February as students researched teams, storylines, social media trends and content. The students participated in two weeks of rehearsals and development time prior to the launch of March Madness Live March 11. The tournament spans 23 days through the NCAA® Championship Game, April 2.

First offered in Spring 2009, this course has enabled Ball State to provide valuable services to local non-profits and connect students with community needs beyond the classroom. Each of this year’s community partners has worked with the GIS workshop in the past, and continue to seek the students’ help with new data and areas of need.

The spring 2012 projects include the following:

Kimbrough Historic District: Documenting Housing Conditions
Project Partner: City of Muncie Community Development Department
Students are working in multi‐disciplinary teams with historic preservationists, architecture and/or preservation students and neighborhood residents to implement a survey of property conditions within the Emily Kimbrough Historic District in the East Central Neighborhood of Muncie, which comprises 13 blocks and more than 100 buildings. This information, including photos and written observations, will be organized within a GIS database to allow easy visualization of individual property conditions and map‐based analysis of district‐wide trends.

High Speed Internet Access in Delaware County
Project Partner: United Way of Delaware County
To determine technology access in all areas of Delaware County, students are working to map high-speed internet service availability, including information on the type of provider (cable, DSL, wireless), strength of signal, and location of public computers and/or WI-FI access. Students are analyzing location patterns along with unemployment and poverty data to determine if all citizens of Delaware County have equal access.

Where should the trees go?
Project Partner: White River Watershed Project
In partnership with staff from the White River Watershed Project and the Muncie Delaware
County Department of Stormwater Management, students have been working to determine ideal locations for the removal of impervious surfaces (e.g., concrete, asphalt) and replacement of these surfaces with trees and other “greenspaces.”

Where are the best fishing / canoe sites?
Project Partner: White River Watershed Project
Students are helping to create/update a river access and recreation map for White and Mississinewa Rivers in Delaware County. They have been identifying favorable conservation land adjacent to navigable waterways currently unknown or unused as public access points, and are prioritizing these locations based on a framework of “human factors” created by the students.

Service Expansion – Henry County, IN
Project Partner: Open Door Health Services
This project involves mapping the location of uninsured and underinsured populations in Henry
County to better understand the potential benefits of establishing a health care clinic in the county and to help suggest where such a clinic should be located.

“Narrowing down the field to finalists was particularly difficult for the Mira Award judges this year because we had nearly double the number of nominees in just about every category,” said Jim Jay, president and CEO of TechPoint. “This is the largest class of nominees and finalists that we have had in the 13 years that TechPoint has been conducting the Mira Awards, and I think that says a great deal about the strength and resilience of Indiana’s tech sector.”

Finalists will deliver presentations and answer questions during interviews with independent judging panels later this week. Ball State faculty members are finalists in two categories:

Technology in Education Excellence & Innovation – Individual

• Jay Bagga,, Professor of Computer Science, Ball State University
• Vinayak J. Tanksale, Instructor of Computer Science, Ball State University

Technology in Education Excellence & Innovation – Team, Department or Program

• Morgan’s Raid: Professors Paul Gestwicki (Computer Science) and Ronald Morris (History) of Ball State University
• Transmedia Indiana: Professors Brad King (Journalism) and Jennifer George-Palilonis (Journalism) of Ball State University

The museum’s found director, Michael Rush, commissioned Fillwalk and Brown to develop the virtual museum, which mirrors the architecture of the Zaha Hadid-designed museum and provides an innovative venue for the presentation of cutting-edge interactive digital artworks. Over time, the space will integrate work of other artists.

“It’s a great honor to have been commissioned to create the Virtual Broad Art Museum project at MSU,” said Fillwalk. “The project has provided a tremendous opportunity and international showcase for the capabilities of Hybrid Design Technologies and IDIA Lab at Ball State University.”

The following works by Fillwalk are currently featured in the digital museum environment:

Proxy – In this interactive digital installation, visitors shape a sculptural and sonic composition as they move through the virtual museum. When multiple users are in the environment, their avatars interact with one another to create a collaborative work.

Flickr Gettr – Visitors can “curate” a spatial and dynamic cloud of images from the social image web service Flickr within the museum space.

Survey – An immersive landscape simulation, “Survey” uses real-time weather data and virtual representations of surveyor’s tape, flags, and clouds to reflect actual wind speed and direction, time of day, and cloud density.

con|FLUENCE – Participants create pathways based on reactions to both social and spatial relationships.

dis|PLACE – This interactive gesture-based installation links virtual space to physical reality, employing a participant’s movement via a Microsoft Kinect™ sensor.

The Virtual Broad Art Museum is accessible to the public through the museum’s website. Visitors have the option to interact with other users with a chat feature, and the space also facilitates virtual lectures and performances, with up to 100 visitors from anywhere in the world.

In addition to facilitating connections, bConnected also provides mobile access to class schedules, grades, student organizations, events and other campus life information. Additional features include:

• On-campus housing information
• “My Connections,” a favorites list of people at Ball State
• Midterm course performance and final course grades
• Advising information
• Local address and quick access to Ball State ID
• Photos of campus buildings for courses, events and housing

Students also have access to the Ball State Recreation Services App, created by students of the Ball State Digital Corps in collaboration with the Office of Recreation Services. The app is designed to help students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests identify if their favorite recreation facilities, such as the Student Recreation & Wellness Center, Ball Gymnasium and Lewellen Pool. The app includes a searchable list and detailed information about available facilities and rooms, and a stoplight census that indicates busyness (red=busiest, green=least busy) every hour on the hour. The app is available through iTunes and Google Play.
