I attended the web conferences on Monday and Tuesday night. Dr. Abernathy shared her cell phone number and her email address with all of the participants. She emphasized that we are to call or email her with any concerns or questions about the coursework. She told us that all of the professors are available to help us with whatever issues that might arise. She explained that our digital storybook should not last more than 2 minutes, and that we must have a partner to collaborate and share the project with. Several participants wanted to complete the project without a partner. Dr. Abernathy explained that one of the goals or outcomes of the degree/certification program is to facilitate and collaborate with colleagues. Everyone must have a partner for the project.
Partners will be sharing interviews and scripts with one another using google docs and drop box. The collaboration documents need to be saved as they will be made available to the course professors at the end of the course, but they will not be graded as part of the assignments. I'm looking forward to collaborating with a partner. Two heads are always better than one, and since I am not an expert with Photo Story 3 I will be able to use my partner as a resource and as a fellow problem solver.
During Tuesday's web conference, Dr. Abernathy's computer froze so I left the session at about 6:35 pm.
