Update: Next Exit HistoryTM is now an app for the Android and Apple platforms. Although, the old online database has been taken down and the links below are broken, anyone who downloads the free app can search “Malina Suity” and find the pieces that I authored.
The University of West Florida was an early pioneer of mobile application technology as a platform for historic interpretation. As a student at UWF, I had many opportunities to create content for Next Exit HistoryTM. Our professor often described these 250 word essays as “historical haikus,” as we had to communicate the essence of wide-ranging subjects in a very limited space. I completed content pieces for two summer travel courses: Civil Liberties to Civil Rights, focusing on urban history and civil disobedience along the east coast, and Corps of Discovery: Exploring the West of Lewis and Clark. You can find links to my work available to view on the Next Exit HistoryTM database now.
