Black & White Photography
Kirstin Pellizzaro
These four pictures were part of my final project in Intro to Photography. The course teaches you the basics of photography through 55mm black and white film. You are given different assignments throughout the courses, and for your final project you pick your top 20. It is a very fun, interesting class that I think anyone can enjoy. The photos shown are my favorite four.
Does Size Matter?
Kirstin Pellizzaro
I made this very short film for my Documentary class. This course is interesting and can be a lot of fun, but it involves a lot of work. You come up with the topic, you shoot, and edit all by your self; so make sure you take Basic Video Production and Field Production before this. You also get to watch a lot of interesting documentaries in the class.
Steganography
Venu Guntupalli
I have noticed that when it comes to securing confidential information, the norm of the day is to encrypt data with strongest available encryption standard/code. Computers are becoming more powerful than ever, and processing speeds are multiplying quickly. Theoretically most encryption standards are penetrable. Therefore, alternate approaches for securing data become critical. One such alternative I have used is: To hide the existence of data itself.
Graduating Class Gift Program Online Course
Marianne Downey, CFRE
I used pbwiki to create a Graduating Class Gift Program Online Course. I plan to continue to build the wiki with additional resources for professional fundraisers. I also hope to design more online courses for fundraising professionals.
jump for joel
Shana Renae Stine
Jump for Joel [J4J] is a project I started for an orphanage in Kenya, Africa. I was able to use Project AST 301 to earn acadecmic credit while organizing J4J. One of my learning objectives for the course was to learn how to better market our cause. This website, created by UIS alum - Dan Collins, is one of the means we use to promote J4J. It includes links to videos, podcast episodes, and social-networking sites, all of which help us to get the word out about Jump for Joel!
