TheJUMP+, The Journal for Undergraduate Multimedia Projects, is an electronic journal that publishes digital and multimedia projects from undergraduate courses around the globe.[1] It also hosts a blog that publishes on multimedia/digital rhetoric. The general editor of the journal is Justin Hodgson and the co-managing editors are Alison Witte and Crystal VanKooten. In addition to the project, there is an assignment description, project timeline, student reflection, instructor reflection, and two critical responses provided by editorial collective members.
[edit] Journal History
The first issue was published in March 2010 under TheJUMP. In redesigning the journal's infrastructure, TheJUMP 2.0 launched in November 2012.[2] TheJUMP+ is its 3rd iteration/design, which launched with issue 7.1 in October 2017. While it continues the mission of earlier version, the rebranding by adding the "+" part is meant to reflect that TheJUMP+ is more than a journal and a blog. This iteration added the blog and increased social media activity as well as internship opportunities for undergraduate students. [3]
