Professor Hank Art’s course, the Natural History of the Berkshires delves into the biology, geography, climate and history of the Berkshires. The georeferencing, rubbersheeting and compiling of aerial photographs from 1942, 1952 and 1970 will be an important resource for students. In order to make the georeferenced images easily-accessible to students and the general public, images were uploaded onto the Natural History of the Berkshires database using ContentDM. We also made updates to the site, improving navigation and updating site maps.

This project branched off from Professor David Edwards' WAMP (Williams Afghan Media Project). It consisted of creating a short video presentation of Professor of Photography, Ed Grazda. The video was to be approximately fifteen to twenty minutes in length, and would comprise of an audio interview of Professor Grazda accompanied by the photographs he had taken of Afghanistan, its people and their way of life under the rule of the Taliban during the years of 1992-2000. It was decided that project would be done in Macromedia Flash MX.

The Africana Studies program wanted a website that featured students more prominently. They wanted students to visit the site and feel that the space was created for them. The new website now has audio, image and video capabilities - features that were not possible in the previous site. Africana Studies is a very contemporary and political program. With the new website it will now be easier for the program to update content on the website.

The American Studies Program needed a website that was more modern and more professional to better reflect the program on the internet. A new site was designed from scratch and constructed using the content management system Symphony to make it easy to update and so more likely to stay in use. The new site has updatable faculty and course lists as well as information from the old site with collages of appropriate images.

The video describes good and bad ways to approach professors to make the process of getting to know professors easier for first year students.

This project involved redesigning the current Biology Website with in intent of making it more attractive and easier to navigate. New information was included along with graphics, and a Cascading Style Sheet was used to simplify updates and create a uniform structure and layout.

Our task was to redesign the Biology Website while retaining all the content of the old website and making it more attractive and easier to navigate while providing the relevant information to its audience.

This was a three-part project, the purpose of which was to create new websites for the Center of Environmental Studies, the Matt Cole Memorial Library, and Hopkins Memorial Forest. These three are inextricably linked, yet very much distinct resources. The new design reflects this relationship, as all three sites have the same layout, yet individual color schemes and graphics. The site construction consisted mainly of transferring information from the pre-existing website, and re-organizing it to facilitate navigation.

This project involved simplifying and redesigning a new web site for the Chaplains’ Office at Williams College to replace its old web site (http://link.to.the.old.site), giving it a more updated look, and making it easier to maintain.

The only time in your daily routine that hasn't yet been exploited for learning purposes is your daily workout. Chemcasts are interesting stories about chemistry in the form of short podcasts, so that students can automatically download them from iTunes and work out while listening. Find out, for example, how to keep soda from exploding, why ice cream doesn't refreeze properly, and why diamonds actually are not forever.

A fully-functional and secure browser-based chemical inventory system specifically engineered to replace the current ad-hoc system running on a laptop chained to a room in the TCL. Included is the framework for a multi-user system, and reversion capabilities.

The goal of the chemistry lab videos has been to create comprehensive visual instructions to familiarize students with intimidating equipment and confusing procedures before arriving in the lab. It is important to create a lab environment that looks as simple as possible, and maintain a visual continuity with the physical space even after editing. After filming on digital video we captured the footage on an external hard-drive and edited it using Final Cut Pro.

The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, members of the Williams College Psychology Department wanted to communicate information about their studies with people who lived outside of the immediate Williamstown area. This was addressed by building a web site that would provide information about the various ongoing studies along with contact information. Additionally, the site would allow for related background readings or other publications to be included in the content. Second, the Web Site needed to be interactive in its ability to provide secure online surveys and questionnaires that participants could send back electronically. This was addressed by creating secure .pdf files where participants enter a password before opening the documents. The password is granted to them after a brief phone interview with a faculty member. Once downloaded, participants can email the surveys back as attachments. This content-rich site with the downloadable .pdf files allows faculty members to communicate and interact with participants outside of Williamstown.

The Cognitive Science program needs a website that describes the concentration. This website should contain a list of events or highlights on the home page, a description of current faculty, the names of current and past concentrators, a listing of course offerings, and a detailed paragraph about the program. If there is time at the end of the project, a chatbot will be added to the site. This chatbot should allow Professor Zaki to easily input her own content.

Professor Jay M. Pasachoff worked with WIT to produce an educational video about the sun.

The movies, spanning from July 2007 to June 2008, comprise sequences of hourly solar array images synchronized with a dynamic chart dispalying each image's corresponding energy output. Organized into monthly and entire year clips, the movies capture the solar array in different weather conditions and their effect on energy output. The movies will be used in the future by students in GEOS 206 - Renewable Energy and the Sustainable Campus, as well as future interns in the Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives.

The Costume Archives at Williams is a digital collection of documentation of theatrical costumes. These costumes, designed by Deborah Brothers of the Williams College Theatre Department are from past productions, and represent different periods in costume history. The archives include three-dimensional rotatable videos of the costumes, as well as digital scans of corresponding costume sketches. This collection will serve as a useful resource to students, allowing them to view the costumes within a historical frame of reference and along with appropriate costume terms.

This project is a DVD documenting the disappearance of dairy farms around Williamstown. In particular, it contains interviews for, and aerial views of, the Moon Farm, the Sunnybrook Farm, and the Rhodes Farm. Over the past weeks our group has worked on editing footage for inclusion with the DVD, using the Magic Morph program to show the changes in the farms over time and using ArcGIS to produce three dimensional maps of the areas. We used DVD Maker to put all of this content together. Here are two webified short clips: 1970 Moon Farm 3D Map and Rhodes Farm Magic Morph

The Eclipse Website project involved an overhaul of the site structure, extensive modification of the underlying html code, and the addition of new photo and video content.

We are creating two websites: the first one is for the Williams College Ethics Bowl where team members can discuss cases and get information about the Ethics Bowl and anyone who is interested in the Ethics Bowl can learn more about it; the second one is the Northeast Regional Ethics Bowl site that is there to inform people about the Regional Bowl and emphasizes more the logistical and rules oriented side of the competition.

We made a website that will introduce students in a number of classes across a wide variety of disciplines to key concepts in employee ownership and workplace democracy. Using footage from a recent documentary, we introduce the case of an employee-owned factory in Pittsfield, MA. The site includes exercises - a Flash game and a text-based problem - through which students try their hand at negotiating issues involving employee ownership.

The Exploding Flower project involved creating a new web site for Dwight Whitaker and Joan Edwards about their research and recent publication on the Dogwood Flower. This site is geared to two distinct audiences. One group is the academic audience who will be interested primarily in raw data, the video, and contact information section listing publications. The other group is the every day visitors. Children who have heard about the flower from their science teachers, or those who have read about the flower in a magazine and want to know more. For these visitors the section on the plant, with pictures and explanations about its life cycle will be particularly helpful. Since the high speed video is one of the most exciting features of the site, it too can be reached from the home page.

The Field Botany Website incorporates two previous sites

Professor Cox of the Geosciences Departments complied a collection of slides of different geological phenomena. In this project, students digitized these slides, using a Nikon slide scanner, its software, and Adobe Photoshop. Digitizing the slides allows Professor Cox to make the images more readily available for her students.

The project was to develop a web-based study tool that tests ARTH101 and 102 students on the information for their weekly slide quiz. It will display 1 random slide at a time from the week's set, and ask for the information as provided on the syllabus. It will then display the correct information for that slide and move on to the next slide.

Design modifications to The Game of Life grid which simulated and observed a basic living system. The existing simulation allowed users to watch the results of removing rules from the system. We have successfully enabled users to add their own rules and observe the effects, as well as made general interface and design improvements. An essential part of our task was also to document and comment the code structures driving the simulation.

A website that is inviting to all people to discover the legacy of Robert Gaudino. It is a site where students, factuly, alumni, and the general public can come and discover: what the purpose of Winter Study 99s is and how to apply for funding; the initiatives of the Gaudino Scholar; the mission of the Robert L. Gaudino Memorial Fund. The site is there to help advocate experiential education and uncomfortable learning as means to a greater and fuller educational experience inside and outside the classroom.

Our goal was to create a website that would allow a user to navigate through an extensive oral history about Robert Gaudino. The website acts as an interactive book that enables users to navigate through the narrative in a nonlinear fashion. The site includes three levels of navigation: Chapter by Chapter, People, and Themes. These three ways of navigating through the site allows the user to approach the webpage from many different angles. We have also incorporated a Media Gallery that features Videos, and Images related to the life of Mr. Gaudino. Some of the challenges with this project were learning how to organize and structure the large quantities of information of information.

Creation of a web page for Web-served teaching materials for GEOS 214 (ENVI 214), Remote Sensing and GIS, (an image-and software-intensive course), where assignments could be mounted, images served, and links to databases enabled.

As mentioned above, the Green Energy category tells about the seven clean energy basis and the Local Green Energy Projects tells about the Green Energy Projects around Berkshire. Dynamic maps and photo galleries are included under Special features. Dynamic maps are provided by a former Williams graduate and most photos for the galleries are gathered from NREL, NASA websites while some of them were taken by Infulleffect members.

The Haystack Bicentennial Documentary was made to be shown during the opening ceremony of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Haystack event, when five Williams students decided to devote their lives to spreading Christianity as missionaries. The film recounts the events of that day and tells the story of the development of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science Grant funds many projects for Williams and the community. This website is the first time all of these opportunities are organized in one place for easy access and informational purposes.

Using a high-speed camera taking thousands of pictures per second, Professor Whitaker shot videos of various phenomena that happen at speeds too fast to see. These pictures were compiled into videos that show, in extremely slow motion, events such as a wine glass being shattered by sound waves and a balloon being punctured. These videos, with descriptions of the physics behind them, were put into a website designed by the team to be viewed by physics students and the general public alike.

Professors Hank Art and David Dethier would like us to design an application for a database of historical aerial photographs. The application will tell the user what photographs are available containing any point that they click on a base map. This project will also require a guide describing the process of georeferencing. This also needs to describe the process of adding a georeferenced photo to a database that will allow the photo to appear in the application.

The diary of a young farmer from 1869, living near Plattsburgh,NY, was transcribed as a TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) learning exercise.

A website intended for the use of Professor Yamada's 300-level Japanese students. While going through various discussion questions and situations assigned in class, students would be able to listen to audio clips and practice their language skills via the website outside of the classroom.

Consisting of 3 categories- Identification, Reading Comprehension, and Listening Comprehension, this website was designed purely for classroom purposes. For Professor Yamada's students taking japanese, this website offers a variety of exercises and practice problems ranging from identifying clip art objects to reading and listening to japanese vocabulary (the site is available only on campus).

Creation of a web page for the Japanese Program in Asian Studies, building on what is currently a link of the Asian Studies Department, and adding several new features including: Student links (Dictation exercises, Course listings, etc.), Study Abroad in Japan links, Life After Williams in Japan links (Alumni in Japan, Career Fairs, etc.), and Japan Net Links.

This project included developing and updating quizzes for Professor Yamamoto

This project is to update the available lessons for the Japanese Department’s Utilization program. The Japanese Department stresses its students’ ability to communicate orally, implementing syntactical and situational speech in an accurate way. Students in JAPN 201-02 and 301-02 use the Utilization programs, where they are given a situation in English and must construct an answer to the situation in Japanese. The program features a model audio file that students can play to hear the model answer, and a recording tool intended for checking the students’ speech skills. Not all of the lessons for the curriculum had a program created for it, and the recording feature did not work. Our group made programs for those missing lessons and enabled the recording feature. We also redesigned the program in the style of the Japanese Department's website, and implemented new situation-relevant photos within the program.

This website is to serve as a medium for disseminating information about Jewish Life at Williams and current and upcoming events. It is targeted at prospective Jewish students and current students alike.
