Week 8:

For your IS assignment this week, you turn in an interview story and a complete set of typed notes. Details on this are available in the assignment sheet. We also would like you to submit a typed, one-page outline of how your story is shaping up to this point. The outline is should be brief and include:

  • specific angle your story will take
  • structure you expect
  • information in roughly the order you think makes sense
  • other angles you find interesting but may not fit in your main story (this will be of use for your audio, slideshow and video pieces)

You are not locked into this outline permanently. It's merely a prompt for you to keep your thinking organized and a guide for your TA to help point out potential problems.

Week 7:

These are not exhaustive. You have many options for creating the forms allowed in the assignment sheet. Don't forget the importance of attribution. Your audience needs to know where your information came from. For instance, if I were creating a chart on how Dane County residents voted in the presidential election by age, I might put a label beneath the chart, reading "Data Source: Dane County Clerk Voter Analysis Fact Sheet, November 2009." Please remember that you are just beginning. Do not attempt things that are too complicated because you'll spend a lot of time on the technology. You are graded on substance, more than you are on style. Think first and foremost about the content you want to provide. Then find an interesting way to display it.

  • Tip Sheet: Info Sources
  • Dreamweaver training # 2 (35 minutes, complete by end of day Wednesday, Sept. 30, and upload to server, overwriting your last set of files)
  • Download second set of Dreamweaver training files
  • Please don't forget your weekly readings on e-reserve through UW Libraries. At least one quiz question Monday will come from those readings.
  • New alumni podcast posted in our course podcast through Learn@UW. This week's guest is John Keefe from WNYC public radio (this is not required listening but he's a fun dude)
