This guide deals primarily with student authored projects. Tradtionally, students would create a project by mounting a variety of research and artwork onto a sheet of Bristol Board. It may be helpful to use an analogy here, in that the Website or multimedia program is the Bristol Board, and the items usually pasted onto it are multimedia artifacts, produced on or through a computer.

Consider how the student projects illustrated above could been alternatively produced in an electronic format on the Web, as students:

        • take digital photos
        • scan original artwork
        • use software to create charts, graphs and images
        • use a word processor for writing
        • hyperlink out to various resources and information
        • use video and/or audio clips
        • use forms/email for feedback, survey information, correspondence, etc.
