Learn more about your impact
The Educational Media Innovation Studio at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation is a hub for media-rich teaching and learning. In collaboration with Verse Video Education, the maker of the “Poetry in America” PBS series, we design high-quality educational media centered on the human experience, and we guide educators of all kinds in harnessing media’s power to engage and inspire.
The video included here showcases EMIS’s flagship course, Poetry in America: The City from Whitman to Hip Hop, which has served high-schoolers, K-12 educators and undergraduate and graduate students since 2017. Leveraging this proven model for content across academic disciplines, EMIS will work with partners within and beyond the University to deliver media-rich learning experiences at scale.
While standardized testing is still a reality, as well as there's just growing attention on STEM, I felt like this course really brought critical thinking forward for students in a way that you can't get anywhere else. That was my favorite thing.”

I had the privilege of watching my students increase their confidence in taking college courses; most of them are first-generation college-bound students.”
