Hypermedia Project (TIE 544)  

Creation of a substantive, interactive, computer-based hypermedia project relevant to curricular and student needs. 

Students will select a curricular area and related school/district/state learning standards around which they will develop a substantive, interactive, computer-based hypermedia project. In collaboration with others enrolled in the course, students will develop a rubric for assessment of the hypermedia project including elements such as organization and accuracy of content; screen layout; navigation; use of color, text, multimedia; and interactivity appropriate for identified audience (demonstrating awareness of learner characteristics).  Inclusion of a bibliography will demonstrate knowledge and application of copyright/fair use.  The hypermedia project must include at least 15 screens and hypermedia elements such as non-linear navigation, images, sound, and a video clip. .

Through the preparation of a network map and storyboard completed prior to the development of the actual hypermedia project, students will apply design principles in creating the hypermedia project and apply copyright laws in creating the hypermedia project.  A summary of design principles and copyright laws/Fair Use considered in developing the hypermedia project will be completed, again as a separate, related course assignment.
