Week 8 detailed schedule

Before 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, 3/3

    • Add your response to the “Week 8″ topic on the Weekly Discussion forum.
    • I will send you the link for a Doodle poll (privacy policy) for the Week 10 hangout. I will use your responses to this poll to create the peer review groups for this assignment.

Before 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, 3/5

  • Respond to one of your classmates’ posts on the forum.
  • Complete the Doodle poll with your schedule for Week 10.
  • Following the instructions in the tutorial appropriate to your operating system, create a short “Hello, world” video (some background on the history of “Hello, world”) and upload it to your quizzes folder on Google Drive.
    • [Update, 3/4]: Do not upload your project files from Windows Movie Maker or Imovie; you must submit your project as a video file.
    • See the instructions for exporting your final video in the WMM (WMM users, click on the “Publish a movie to your computer” drop-down menu) or Imovie tutorials.
  • Video Specifications: Your video should contain
    1. The text “Hello, world”.
    2. One short, prerecorded video clip (2-5 seconds).
      • Archive.org has a vast repository of video clips that are in the public domain and available for download.
      • These clips are offered in a number of different file formats. Before downloading one, check the “importing” section of your tutorial or your video editing program’s help files to see what file formats it can import. Your best bet is to chose either the MPEG4 or h.264 format, as they are broadly compatible with most modern operating systems.
    3. At least one image (displayed for 2-5 seconds).
    4. One short, prerecorded audio clip (played for 2-5 seconds). This audio clip can be music or any other form of audio and it can be played under one or more of the other elements (the video clip, the image) described here.
    5. A brief voiceover (no more than one sentence) recorded by you.
    6. An end credits sequence that provides source citations for #s 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you created one or all of these elements of the video, cite yourself. Everyone should cite his or herself for #5.
