Information about Midterm Project

During the Saturday face-to-face class meeting on March 14, we discussed the midterm project that deals with a collection of emails that I have received about digital storytelling and the EUODS website.

I have created a document that contains approximately 75 of these messages which we discussed in class and decided that each student in our course would work on either creating an entry for a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section that we will add to the site, or help develop an idea that was suggested in some of the emails. The list that we came up with and the students who have already selected a topic to work on is as follows:


DIGITAL STORYTELLING TOPIC STUDENT
  1. How can visitors to the EUODS website submit links to other DS resources?
Leon
  1. What PowerPoint presentations are available for download the EUODS website and where are they located?
 Kristi
  1. What is the permission policy for using material found on the EUODS website?
 
  1. Create a list of tutorials and how-to guides that are available on the EUODS website pus a list o other tutorials related to DS that are available online.
Christina
  1. What equipment is recommended to begin creating digital stories?
Tatiana/Jen
  1. Create a list of bibliographic information, including research results related to DS, available for visitors to our site interested in such information (such as students working on a master's thesis or doctoral dissertation on some aspect of DS).
Lynda
  1. Create a section that includes information about DS workshops offered locally or in other places.
Margo
  1. Create a listing of some of the more interesting "thank you messages" we have received about the EUODS website.

  1. Make some Photo Story files available for download. Select which ones and write up description for their use.
 Yolanda
  1. Prepare an outline for 90-second introductory audio or video clip where I will discuss what digital storytelling is, how it's being used in education and what visitors can find on our website.
Deidre
  1. Do you have another idea?
 



Important Note 1:
If your name is not on this list, please send me an email (brobin@uh.edu) letting me know which topic you would like to work on. The remaining topics will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and the list will be updated as I receive your emails.
 
Important Note 2: Because the document with the 75 email messages contains names and contact information, I am not posting it on our course website or on the course blog; however, I will send an email message to each student in the course with a link to the document. If you do not receive this email message, please let me know so I can try sending it to you again.
 
Important Note 3: The midterm project may be created a Word document, PowerPoint slide presentation, PDF file, HTML file, etc. and
should be emailed to me (brobin@uh.edu) by midnight on April 5, 2009.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can I find podcasts of your Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling content on iTunes or online?

A. You can always download the podcasts of the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling examples from iTunes U at the University of Houston http://itunes.uh.edu for playback on your iPod or iPhone, or other mobile media device. Video Podcasts may sometimes take a bit longer to download than other media files.

Once at the iTunes U at UH portal, click on the “UH Launch iTunes U” button, where you’ll be redirected to iTunes (you’ll need to download the free iTunes app at http://apple.com/itunes ). Inside iTunes U, locate the section “Around Campus,” where you’ll find Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling. Inside the section, you’ll see tabs at the top of the tracks listing. Select the tab of interest.

Streaming version of these, along with a wealth of information, can be found at http://coe.uh.edu/digitalstorytelling under “Examples.”
