I downloaded the freeware, PrimoPDF, on my computer. For this second assignment for my Advanced Computer Applications class, I developed a step-by-step tutorial using screen shots demonstrating how the user should download and use PrimoPDF.

This project was completed
in my last semester at Collin County Community College. I created
the music using a MIDI device in a Mac program called Digital Performer.
I recorded the voice-overs using a Sure 58 microphone and added the
necessary effects to give it a clean sound. The project was completed
using Pro Tools.

This project was shot
using a Canon XL1 video camera and Steinhauser wireless mikes. It
was produced using Adobe Premiere Pro, Aftereffects, and Audion.
The video was shot on location at the Gainesville equine center
and nearby breeding ranches. A complete video was made for presentation
at recruiting fairs across the state. A shortened version was placed
in a user friendly CD interface that was created for the purpose
of sending it out to potential students interested in the equine
program,

This
month I have been working with Macromedia Captivate. This program
is a great tool to build interactive web and offline content.
I discovered how to create online quizzes that reinforce repetitious
learning. It can be used to make online tutorials and linked menus
to graphics, PowerPoints, and other web pages. This program is defiantly
worth working with and further exploring it's many possibilities.

This online hybrid
speech project was a collaboration with the speech
instructor at North Central Texas College. Eight video lectures
were shot in a small studio using a Canon XL1 video camera
mounted on a bogan tripod, Steinhauser wireless mikes, and
a Victor Smith lighting system.
The lectures were produced using Adobe Premiere Pro and output using
Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint. Twelve sample student speeches
were also shot and mounted in web pages using an embedded media
player. The eight video lectures and student speeches were mounted
on 4 CD's and integrated into a user friendly interface and will
be distributed as offline content for her students.

This web site was built for the art
appreciation instructor who expressed the desire to be able to provide
enlarged details of the various Medieval, Renaissance, and modern
art paintings they were studying. We decided a disjointed rollover
site would be the most imaginative way to accomplish her educational
goals for her students. The rollovers were created in Macromedia
Fireworks and output with Macromedia Dreamweaver. The class was
taught during the summer and the site was mounted in Blackboard
so her students could view the works in the classroom as well as
at home.

Developed a Training Course
for faculty for the Tandberg Multi-Point Teleconferencing Rooms located
on each campus. I built a Menu Builder project in Macromedia Captivate
to reinforce the material taught in the training course.

This hybrid online Spanish
lab was recorded using a Pro Series
Audio-Technica Pro-R1 wireless microphone system and Cool Edit 2000.
An RLO was developed to mount the completed audio into the web pages.
We experimented with voice alterations in Cool Edit to simulate conversations
between two people. The purpose of the lab was to have readily available
audio reinforcement for the material taught in class. Because the
sound files were output in MP3 format, the entire lab was mounted
in Blackboard enabling the students to access the material from home
as well as the Spanish lab on campus.
