Student Work

The collaborative nature of the web makes it difficult to decide what qualifies as student work. Are the discussions held on our message forums student work? Are the links that students make to other sites on the web their work? What about the site itself? It is difficult to decide. One thing we are trying to do, however, is to produce original projects using html. These student web projects will make up the bulk of the work presented here.
Individual web projects about censorship, the internet and pornography make up our first major offering. The projects look at recent cyberporn controversies and at issues of free speech and media regulation.
Students have been working on the film Bladerunner. They have used multimedia to construct evaluations of the film.
Working in small groups, the class has constructed exploratory research Projects. The projects cover topics ranging from funding for the arts to consumer attitudes to rock and roll.
Students have also collaborated on reviews of different web subject areas. Projects include "arguments" about gun control, reviews of Grateful Dead sites on the web and information about the 1996 presidential election. Check them out at our web review page.
If you are interested in the course syllabus or the assignments that students followed to construct the projects, then jump to resources for students.
