Since I have switched gears and am doing the remaining paperwork (a great deal still faces me) for the program redesign along with advising/preparing for the fall semester on so many levels, I have decided that I will not be reporting the particulars of what I am doing on a weekly basis any longer, thus skipping a week. I will try for every two weeks now as I am doing variations of the same things each day, which I will list below.

Using multiple sources of information to guide the redesign, I have finally been able to flesh out the new program to visualize how it will meet multiple needs and eliminate redundancy. Sources that I have looked at are program structure/syllabi from similar programs at the CT state colleges along with a select few programs I was able to connect with during my travels, conversations with graduates that have entered into their respective fields either post two or four-year degree, a collection of job requirements gathered (by a DAT student worker) of numerous postings in related vocations, and input from individuals likely to hire digital creators.

I believe the current data that exists by doing an environmental scan at this point is not very accurate, as the pandemic has opened up so many more opportunities for trained digital artists. This data probably won't be available any time soon. A majority of the fields that DAT serves have decent growth as it is, but a couple areas are stagnating according to the information available. Re-imagining broadcast to include web delivered small crew visual media may have an unexpected growth spurt in the very near future. Technical writers may also see a comeback since so many people don't know how to use the current technology available to them and prefer to have a written document to take them through step-by-step.

Click on the link that says Original File, as that is what I used. If anyone wants to enlighten me on how I should attribute this, I would be very grateful.
