Role of Class Pictures in the Course
Go to the class Facebook site and select "See All" for the Photos and Videos, or go to your Profile in Facebook and select "View Photos of Me" and "View Videos of Me." In either case choose the class pictures/videos of you. The course website will have larger photos if you prefer those and there you have the option of just linking to the photos rather than including them on the CD.
The visual presentation of the multimedia consists of places and captions for pictures but the pictures themselves can be called up by hyperlinks to the course website [not to webspace or any blog or livejournal or other internet site]. By using this method there is no need to include all those pictures on your CD or jump drive. However, the pictures themselves must pop up on their own, not as links which must then be selected by the reader (use the code <img src= "hyperlink">). In the case of videos, however, links which the reader must select are sufficient.
**Before you make the index file you should have all the files you want in your portfolio in a single folder. You create your index file inside that folder also. Then when you are done you simply transfer the contents of that folder to a CD.
To make an index file your first choice should be a website creation program such as Dreamweaver or Front Page.
Without such a program you can either use Notepad or Textedit to modify someone else's index file such as the ones below. To do the latter just find a portfolio index page you like and then in, say, Firefox, go to "View" and select "Page Source." Then when the code appears, go to "Edit" and then "Select All" and then "Copy." Now go to Notepad or Textedit and "Paste" in the code. Then make the changes in the file names and item names to make it your own.
To use Microsoft Word, you might be able to create your list of all the items in your portfolio (in the specified order) and then select each item one by one and select "Insert" and then "Hyperlink." On the "Hyperlink" page type just the file with no path.
Grades: To get a B on the portfolio you need to meet all the
basic requirements almost perfectly, including detailed table of contents/indexing
and linking.
Grades: to get an A on you need to go beyond that to an achievement in visual rhetoric. Think of this as a portfolio you will be citing in an application to an architectural or leadership magazine, seeking employment in competition with many others. You would be well advised to have it all typed in one way or another, perfectly proofread, illustrated, etc. and very professional in appearance. Pay special attention to unity and to Effective Visual Design (Faigley).
For a good example of how to include all your DB entries in a web portfolio see FranziÕs E603 and previous websites. Your portfolio must be put on a CD or jump drive so that it can be transferred to my website and must run on that Mac server. YOU NEED TO GET THE CD WITH THE WEBSITE WITH THESE AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED CHANGES TO ME AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY.
