TRU Open Learning Video Contest Winners
TRU-OL Video Contest Winners
Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL) launched its first ever Video Contest entitled Where Do you Open Learn? on April 28, 2009. The contest encouraged any TRU student (enrolled during the 2008-2009 academic year) to create, either as an individual or as a team, a video of 30 seconds or less that illustrated where and how a student can open learn. Participants were encouraged to be creative and develop a video, be it irreverent, funny or thought-provoking, that was compelling to watch and presented an engaging message that could be the basis for a viral e-mail marketing campaign.
First prize winner and TRU-OL student Chelsea Dotchak of Victoria, BC, won a cash prize of $750 for her video My TRU Opportunity while TRU-OL student Jade Lorimer of Kamloops, BC won second place to receive an iPod Touch* and a cash prize of $250, for her video Learn Anywhere!.
These videos can be viewed online on YouTube at www.youtube.com/group/openlearning and will also be hosted on the TRU-OL website.
