Creating your materials for multimedia production project

Hi class,

Just a gentle reminder. According to our schedule, we will NOT have a face-to-face class meeting tomorrow because this class time is reallocated for you and your teammates to meet this week and create or collect materials, such as video clips, pictures, sounds, slides, and so on.

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!
