UMBC's 24th Annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day
(URCAD) was originally scheduled to be held on campus on April 22, 2020. Due to the campus closure, URCAD will be moving online, April 22-29th.
Converting URCAD from an on-campus, day-long symposium to an online event will be supported by a technology called VoiceThread (VT), an asynchronous (“not in real time”) platform for media-rich conversations that can occur anytime, anywhere. This means attendees will still be able to see students' research posters and slides, as well as art, performances, films, and video games, and be able to leave video, voice, or text feedback for the presenters. This way, participants create a sense of personal “presence” in the online environment, and students will be able to respond to questions and receive feedback during the week-long event.
We hope to preserve the spirit of URCAD and make this a meaningful, learning, sharing, and celebratory event for our campus community.
