Design, Develop, Deliver: Multimedia Video Production (Harvard@Home)

Forrest Glick, Creative Director
Rudy Hypolite, Video Production
Gilbert Trout, Interface Engineer

Harvard@Home produces video and multimedia web sites that cover a variety of topics, from poetry to number theory to world politics. The Web site is an ongoing experiment in the production of distance learning modules. Launched last March, the site currently features over 16 custom-designed learning programs that utilize streaming video to deliver content to an audience of alumni and Harvard community members. Addressing technical implementation and pedagogical considerations, this lecture will explore the development of the Harvard@Home project. Speakers will include the members of the three-person team.
