Development of Cultural Information Sources Using Digital Multimedia

You should create your narrative as an html file using relative links to the images.  You should not make copies of the images, but instead should make links to those images.  (The images will appear on your pages but will not be located within your workspace.)  Your work on this will need to be done on the IS server in the Photo-essays folder (which itself is in the Brazil-Italy Projects folder), and you will login using your own user name (see immediately below this paragraph).  (Ultra-Caution: make sure that you do not use a file-name that someone else has used or one of your files will likely vanish and all your work will be lost!! As a suggestion, use a file-name based on your own name.)  You will need to create your web-pages within this workspace or the relative links will not work when the images are moved to a new fileserver.

• Follow the Lab's notes as to how to login so that your scanned files are saved in the right place.
• Lab instructional notes for Macs
• Lab instructional notes for Windows machines
• The Lab will create instructional material and a templet file that should explain the location of the files you need to access, and how to use Dreamweaver to best to avoid copying images (but instead create relative links).

 
• The narrative involving research (due Mar 7) could be about anything from Italian grafitti to the Brazilian eocnomy to a summarization of the photographer's own memory of events photographed (by checking with both the posted diary and the photographer.
• The narrative not requiring research is due in sooner (Feb 21).

NOTE:  Directions for turning in your Brazil/Italy image projects:

• You should have created 2 files -- 1 fictional and 1 "accurate"
• Make sure that each of your files has a title that accurately portrays what it is about.
• Make sure that each file states that it was done for this class, and gives the class and instructor name, and links to the class homepage and the instructor homepage.
• If you want your name associated with this file when it goes into a public webspace, be sure to put your name in the file.  If you don't want your name there, do not put your name in the file.
• Give your files filenames something like unique-fiction.html and unique-fact.html, where "unique" is replaced by some unique name (like your login name, your last name, a set of at least 3 initials, etc.  The goal here is to make sure that we have no confusion when your files are put in the same directory with all the other students in the class; we don't want duplicate names.  Also, please note that if you don't want someone a year from now to be able to guess that you wrote these files, you probably shouldn't use your own last name (or even login name).
• If either of the pieces you do consists of more than a single file (which is fine to do, but most people won't do this), make sure that when the files refer to each other, they use relative (not absolute) links.  And when you send in your filenames (see below), make sure you send in all the filenames.
• Send a single email message to Howard telling him for each of your 2 files:
• the name of the file
• the title of the file contents
• a one-sentence (or short phrase) description of what you tried to portray in this file
• Whether you intend to work more on one or both of the files (and if you do, say when you thing you'll absolutely be finished).  [When you're completely finished with any editing, Snowden will move your files to another directory where they will sit for the future.]
