About Virtual Backgrounds
|
The last couple years have brought about a completely new way of interacting via the use of virtual meetings. Let your creative abilities shine by presenting a WSU Themed Virtual Background which allows virtual meeting attendees to introduce their spirit or character via a fun, interesting or unique virtual background graphic or photo. Be sure to stick to this year's theme "The Future of Learning".

This Year's Theme
|
This year's theme is "Culture of Caring: The Positive Impact of Technology".
Consider how technology can influence our culture to create a caring atmosphere. One that facilitates a mentally well mind prepared to learn, work, teach and contribute meaningully to our communities. This theme is an opportunity to explore how technology can influence mental wellness here at Winona State, in our community, and in our world.
This year we want you to focus on the positive impact that technology has on our everyday life - especially life here at WSU! There are five categories which gives you five different ways to express this theme.

Questions from WSU students regarding eScholarship
Q. 1) To create a video is it required to have a team? 2) Can I have other people in my video that are not WSU students?
A. 1) No—you do not need to use a “team”. If you wish to create a video yourself that is fine. We just say that “up to 4” students can form a team for this category. 2) You can have whoever and whatever you want (that falls within the guidelines) in your video. Only eligible WSU students would actually win $1,000.
