PrintCommunity Partner Deliverables
When drafting the Project Agreement, we determined and then agreed upon the types of deliverables you would provide to your Community Partner as tangible artifacts of your work this semester. These deliverables will be submitted and reviewed by the Instructor at least twice this semester:
- Draft Community Partner Deliverables - in Unit 3, students will submit their deliverable drafts to the instructor for feedback. The draft submission is an opportunity for the instructor and student to touch base about the tangible progress of the project beyond the weekly journaling assignments. Students are expected at this stage to have many of their deliverables well under way. Students may be waiting on additional data or input from Community Partners or other stakeholders to move forward, but the draft submission should clearly demonstrate that the project is nearing completion.
- Final Capstone Portfolio - in Unit 4, students will submit, as part of their final portfolio, the final copy of all deliverables provided to the Community Partner. This submission will be an Adobe Spark Digital Story that will link out to all associated documents.
The timing of your project (and therefore the subsequent development of these deliverables) might unavoidably conflict with the course deadline structure. If so, talk to your instructor about alternative arrangements. Flexibility is fine, but only if it's approved in advance.
Examples of Deliverables:
Remember, the overarching goal of these projects is to provide our Community Partners with information that advances their goals and is of the most use to them. To that end, we need to let them help guide what the deliverable structure will look like. Aside from a presentation, which is a required component of every project, each student's project will take on its own shape and structure. Here is a list of possible (perhaps even likely) types of deliverables you'll want to consider providing to your Community Partner (or, that your Community Partner may specifically ask of you). Thinking of something not on this list? Let's talk about it!
- written report documenting your work and recommendations
- other artifacts of the work you complete such as brochures, flyers, posters, or infographics
- policy memo
- resolution
- guidance document for carrying the project forward after the end of the semester
- website
- story map
- digital story
- training manual
