This is another place, outside of the classroom, for students to shine as they are invited to show and say something about their KCC College works. Here, for example, students might use this site to demonstrate the kinds of things examiners look for when assessing and marking art works - Context, Research, Evaluation and Reflection etc. Apart from that, this is simply a place for the eclectic, interesting and inspiring works of KCC Students to be collected and viewed in one place.
Why the name GEMTREE? Library Staff first created a site called GEMPLE(Galleries, Events, Museums, Places of Interest, Libraries and Exhibitions). For this sister site we decided to continue with the 'gems' theme. KCC's students and their works are little treasures after all! So then, given that college courses are as branches of a tree upon which students may blossom, the noble GEMTREE was formed!
KCC Staff Can Showcase Here Too As an example of the kind of thing we could show a fun film was put together by The KCC library team to promote 'Library Week' in 2016, click the youtube link below to view:
