| Due | Description | |

| Assignment 1 | Feb. 9, 5:45 pm | Your group is to prepare a white paper expressing your opinion of the discussion in Chapter 2 of the audio text. This chapter introduces the concepts of blogging and podcasting. You may focus on either concept. Your white paper is to define your position regarding the topic, then to support your position using support points from the discussion or your external research about the topic. I have no specific expectations of content, unless you completely miss the topic element introduced in the panel discussion. I have no expectation of paper length. You will have information to transmit. Your paper should be as long or short as to cover your position effectively. Your team will then prepare audio visual support for a short presentation to the class defining and supporting your position. You will not do a presentation, you will merely show the audio visuals you created. |
| Assignment 2 | Feb. 16. 5:45 pm | Your group is to prepare a 15-minute audio blog (podcast) for placement on the Web. The topics to include in the audio blog are flexible. The target is the students at UTPA. The goal is to create content that markets UTPA to prospective and current students. We will record two on Thursday and two on Tuesday Feb. 21. |

Your group is to prepare an audio/visual (multimedia) presentation to support discussion of Chapter 4 in the Audio Text. The length should be as long or as short as it takes you to present the information in the chapter as well as current information you believe is appropriate. You may elect to create a support program to live action discussion. Or you may elect to create a Kiosk-style presentation in PowerPoint, Presenter, Keynote or other presentation software. Or, you may create a video as long as it is in AVI, MOV, or DV format. You may create a DVD if you need to have the files compressed. Most of the class on Tuesdays will be set aside to answer or seek answers to any technical questions you may have. Presentations will begin on Thursday, March 23. Any we are not able to see on Thursday will be viewed on the following Tuesday. After the last presentation, the class will take a vote for the best presentation. The highest vote getter will be placed on the class website and will receive bonus points (although I don't know why). |
