MUNCIE, Ind. -- Ball State Sports Link, an immersive learning experience under the direction of Chris Taylor, has expanded to 15 students for the Spring 2010 semester. The 15 students, who were each interviewed, were selected from an applicant pool of over 25 interested students in the immersion project.
Last semester, the Sports Link students combined for over 5,000 hours of sports media production and over 9,500 video views on ballstatesports.com. The students produced 37 packages on student-athletes, produced 30 webcasts and five live remotes with the Universitys remote production truck. Student-produced content was aired in four media markets in the state of Indiana (Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Terre Haute) as well as on national platforms such as ESPN, ESPN U and FOX Sports.
