Review Assignments from Class Eight

We will begin this week's class with a review of the assignments from last week.

Post a reply to the eClassroom discussion forum in which you share your thoughts about the Pachyderm 2.0 application that was demonstrated in this week's class.
 

 

Class Eight Hands-On Assignment:

Submit a brief report in which you describe the work you are planning for your final semester project.

You should also upload a working version of your project so that you can receive feedback on the work to date. If you are unable to upload this version, please try to bring it with you to the next class on your flash drive or on a CD.

Continue to use Pachyderm to create an entry page and any other screens linked to this first page. NOTE: This is an optional assignment for students who wish to get extra credit or who simply want to experiment with the program.
 
Submit your proposed report and a prototype version of your final project. Also, if you used Pachyderm to create a webpage or series of pages, please publish the pages (using Pachyderm's publish feature) and submit the URL of the entry page you created.
 

 

 


Question and Answer Session

We will spend time in this week's class reviewing questions from students and trying to solve any lingering problems.

 

 

Discussion of Final Semester Projects

Final semester projects will be presented on the last day of the semester, Thursday, August 10, 2006. Each student is expected to present their project to the class using the instructor's computer which will be projected on the large screen. Each presentation should take approximately 5 minutes and presenters should be prepared to answer questions about their project from members of the audience.

Final Projects may be submitted as a an educationally-relevant website created with Pachyderm 2.0 or Microsoft FrontPage, an enhanced PowerPoint presentation, a digital story created with Microsoft Photo Story, or another format approved by the instructor. Each project should include at least SOME of the following components we covered in class:

  • Graphics retrieved from the web or created

  • At least one graphic that has been modified

  • A thumbnail image gallery

  • A screen capture

  • A digital audio segment

  • A digital video segment

  • A CD or DVD version of your project or supporting materials

In addition to presenting the final project, each student should submit a 1 to 2 page written final project paper that describes the project, and includes the following information:

  • The goals and purpose of the project;
     

  • The intended audience for the project and a brief description of where and when it will be used;
     

  • A description of the challenges you faced creating your project;
     

  • The most significant things you learned from this course and from completing the final project.

If all components of your project are not completed, you should include some descriptive information about the components that are still in development.
