      Text: An advanced practicum in the systematic development of 
            computer-based learning materials. Participants form teams to 
            design and develop advanced multimedia applications for 
            delivery on the World Wide Web. Each team selects a topic and 
            conducts research on what has been learned by other groups 
            developing applications in the content area. Informed by this 
            research, the team designs an educational application and 
            presents it for critique and discussion by the entire class. 
            Then the team selects an appropriate hardware platform and 
            suite of development software. Participants comment on 
            progress as the applications undergo development on the Web. 
            The contributions of each team member are logged into an 
            online portfolio that is used for grading purposes. At the 
            end of the term, each team presents its project formally in 
            class for a final review and critique by all class members.

      Text: In addition to attending class, participants will be expected 
            to spend at least six hours per week working on team 
            projects. The research and design of an original multimedia 
            application will constitute one-third of the final grade; 
            active participation on the development team will constitute 
            another third; and the final project will count the remaining 
            third. All students must make effective use of the course 
            listserv and newsgroup to communicate with team members and 
            their professor. Students will keep track of their projects 
            electronically in Web pages that the instructor will visit 
            periodically to review and comment. Final projects will be 
            mounted on the Web.
