Virginia, that’s an awesome resource, thanks! I think it really clearly points to the question of *why* to do a project like this. I asked my class last night and got some interesting answers … definitely fruitful directions for discussion!

I’d be interested in this session–especially hearing how you’ve structured the course and thinking of ways to encourage collaboration among students who might have diverse skills and knowledges. I’d also be interested in thinking how such web-based publishing projects could be integrated in a variety of teaching contexts. I was really impressed by this project discussed in JiTP (link below) and how it might be adapted to classes in art history/writing/criticism

Thanks, Amanda! Great suggestion. Scalar seems powerful in some ways, but in terms of overall UI and presentation, it still seems a lot less flexible/intuitive than WordPress. This would be a great topic to discuss further — what are the tradeoffs of CMSs that give you fancy visuals vs. the ability to do awesome stuff with videos? I do love Scalar’s tagging, paths, and annotations …

This’d be great. You should look at Scalar, though, which is much better for multimedia than WordPress, IMO. scalar.usc.edu/
