| The Election Project was piloted in the Fall of
1998 in Professor Ken Hoover's Political Science 101
course. Students in the Election Project worked in teams assigned
to one of four election-related concepts. Each team took information
generated by their written reports and created a website. They
streamed video election updates and team reports live on the
Internet on Election Day. |
This showcase features instructor Scott Brennan's
Environmental Studies 101 course that was taught
Fall Quarter, 1999. The environmental studies course was redesigned
using multimedia and was presented in a large lecture hall in
an electronic presentation format. Students were also able to
access a specially designed website for course information,
announcements, and to discuss course issues via an electronic
discussion board.

| Professor Shaw Gynan's lecture on ebonics, inspired
by a controversial radio program, stimulated discussion and
critical thought in a sociolinguistics course. Various media,
cartoons, audio, and images enhanced the lecture. |
Two instructors from Western Washington University (Kenn
Apel) and the University of Nebraska at Omaha created
a set of common readings for their students. The students
met via the Internet four times during the quarter, sending
each other live audio and video, and engaging in a collaborative
discussion about their shared coursework. |
