One of the courses that I’m TAing this semester is Writing For Multimedia. I mentioned it in my earlier post on blog usability, but essentially, my role is to teach the students how to use Flash, so they can explore their own Multimedia writings.

The deadline for the first of two major projects recently passed, and looking at the results, I’m so thrilled. To set the stage, the majority of these students hadn’t used Flash before, and this was the first major project that they had done with Flash. And let me say – my first project in Flash was not nearly as cool. You want to see it? Too bad! I will show off some of my students’ work though.

The assignment was to turn an elevator speech into a multimedia piece that encouraged the user / viewer to think, ask questions; something that would challenge the viewer’s assumptions… draw the viewer in. I thought everyone did a great job, but I just picked two to share:

LeeAnn Baronett: Spork
Marisa Mangione: Lost

I thought these two were more on the abstract side, so I thought everyone would get a kick out of them. Enjoy! And congrats to all my students for doing such great work!
