Welcome to the Elon iMedia Class of 2020’s Capstone Exhibition Site!
The master's capstone project requires students to create an original interactive project that is a culmination of knowledge obtained throughout the iMedia program. These projects demonstrate the class’s skills in mobile/web application development, video production, digital communications, 3D modeling, virtual reality, UX/UI design, coding, and digital marketing strategy. The exhibition is designed for the students to publicly present their work to industry professionals, potential employers, friends, and family.
On this site, you will be able to navigate through the Class of 2020’s capstone projects, portfolio websites, and virtual capstone exhibition presentations. Each project was categorized based on content, industry, and medium in order to organize each virtual presentation Webex Room. Each section of this site highlights a different category, and the link to the recordings can be found in the corresponding section.
On May 20th, President Connie Ledoux Book conferred the Class of 2020’s degrees online, and the recording of the virtual ceremony can be found here.
