Your technology inventory(individual report) and project plan (multimedia group)will due this week as well. Turn in the technology inventory on Oncourse Dropbox. The project plan is your group's answers to the questions on the planning document. The project plan will be posted to your group page on Eva. I've seen several groups updating their group pages. Thanks! You can find more information here http://evaresearch.wikispaces.com/MultimediaInstruction or http://evaproject.wikispaces.com/MultimediaInstruction

I will do my best to post my comments/ feedback this week (Tue-Thr). I will send you an email after I post for all groups. If your group has developed a storyboard, you can upload the files or post the text on your group page as well. If you're planning to meet with your group members in person and develop a storyboard this week. It's okay to process and upload the storyboard by next week. The more you have on your group page on Eva, the more feedback you will get from me.

If you have any question, please let me know. I will be in 2010/ 2015 this Thursday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Will be glad to help anything during the time!

Welcome to W301 class blog!!

Hi W301 students :-)

Welcome back to school! This is our W301 class blog. My name is Chun-Yi Lin. I am your W301 instructor and also your host of this class blog.

Purpose of the blog

Before we meet every week, I post the class agenda here on the class blog. I also post course materials on blogs, such as PowerPoint slides, web resources (readings or videos), word documents or pdf files. If you have questions related to class agenda, assignments, due dates, or other questions that you think others may have similar questions or learn from your questions, please feel free to ask questions by posting comments under posts. Instead of posting your questions on blog, feel free to email me (cl17@indiana.edu). In short, this blog will help you be well-prepared before your w301 class, review the course materials, and answer your questions.

Where can I find this class blog?

You can find this blog by going to your OnCourse W301 and clicking "class blog" on the left hand side of your navigation bar. Instead of clicking on the class blog, you can also right-click on the class blog and open in a new tab or window. Or you can save the URL of the class blog http://chunyi301fall08.blogspot.com
