Projects for this Course

The plan for the course is to explore Web 2.0 resources as a starting point, but mostly focus on how students can add Web 2.0 elements while they work on one of several technology projects listed below:

1. An addition to the IT Program website that might be called "A Student's View of the IT Program" using Web 2.0 resources and adding a series of digital stories about Houston, UH, the COE and the IT Program  to the current IT Program website (http://www.coe.uh.edu/it).

2. Designing promotional CDs and DVDs for the IT Program to go along with item 1 above – and learning to use the new professional disc duplicator/printer we are buying this summer (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/459346-REG/Primera_63101_Bravo_SE_Disc_Publisher.html);

3. A plan for migrating our existing Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling website (http://coe.uh.edu/digitalstorytelling) to the new site that’s being developed (http://osx.soc.uh.edu/~ds) and adding more Web 2.0 elements to the new website.

4. A plan for reviving the Texas Journal of Distance Learning (http://www.txjdl.org), changing the name to the Texas Journal of DIGITAL Learning, and advertising the new journal to potential authors and readers.

5. Another project to be determined...???
