Due: Exam Week, Wednesday 5/5 by midnight
Instructions:
By the end of the semester, you will create an informative composite video about some aspect of technology and culture.
Your video should be well-researched and should include multiple components--e.g., voice over image, film clip, interview, etc. You
may work individually or with a partner or group on this projet. If you work with others, you should divide the work to maximize
group memebers' strengths, but everyone should be involved in the planning of the project and research for the content, and the
workload should be divided evenly. And, you should take this opportunity to learn some new technology skills.
You may work on any topic related to our course topics you wish, and you may address technical, conceptual, representational, or
other aspects of the technology you focus on but you should have a clear, specific, well-researched focus
for your video.
Evaluation Criteria:
Your video will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- Multiple media components are included
- Video has visual appeal
- Information is substantive, accurate, and clearly explained/illustrated
- Researched information is used effectively and cited appropriately
- Project focuses on a clear connection between technology and culture
