We are embarking on a project that involves an english professor asking his students in his theater class to work with digitized video of performances to create multimedia presentations that will be presented during class, and perhaps will have a life outside the classroom on a website of some sort.

As a way of helping the professor think about the organization of this assignment, we would like to create an inventory of such assignments that have been done on other campuses. Our intent is to publish this inventory so that others who might be formulating similar assignments might have some ideas about what the issues are, what works, what doesn't work, etc.

To create this inventory, we would like to know the following:

1. Would you like to help contribute to the construction of this inventory? (If so, let me know!)

2. Are there faculty on your campus who have asked students to create multimedia materials as part of their coursework? Can you give us a brief description of the assignment and the context? Would you give us contact information, or be willing to contact them?

3. Are there articles already published that document this work that we should be reading?

Once we have a list of people to contact, our intent is to collect the following info (and this might change if others want to participate in this inventory and want to ask other questions)

1. Name of course
2. Name of prof
3. Text of assignment
4. How was the assignment graded?
5. What sorts of resources were needed (both human resources and technical resources)?

5.5. How did you go about deciding which software/hardware to use?

5.7 How was the assignment influenced by the availability of certain resources?
6. What worked well?
7. What would you do differently next time?
8. Are the projects available for others to see ? If so, how can we let others see them?
9. Can we publish this information so that others can learn from this?
