Doane and FAU: multimedia examples
June 13th, 2007 by BryanA couple of multimedia examples from disparate regions of the country that I’ve been meaning to get to:
David Swartzlander, adviser at Doane College in Nebraska, sent a link to this multimedia story. Here are his words:
In January 2007, eight students and I drove in a van from Crete, Neb. to Alabama to research the origins of the modern civil rights movement. Our original goal was to produce 16 pages of a magazine, a traditional print format, that discussed what we learned while visiting Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma, Ala., and to ask whether Dr. Martin Luther King’s “dream” had become reality.
Along the way, the budget for the magazine got cut from 16 pages to eight, so David and his students revisited their goals and produced the multimedia project linked above. Could it use some work? Sure. But it’s a good step for a small school.
Second, as Michael Koretzky said in his e-mail: “The summer staff here at FAU has started publishing completely online issues around a Flash theme.” Check it out at this link. Click on the summer entertainment guide banner at the top of the page (no direct link, sorry) for a full taste of the Flash-enabled site that eventually leads back to their CP-enabled CMS.
