Content creation: live blogging and Storify
For week three of the quarter, we are experimenting with live blogging and Storify. The purpose of the live blogging exercise: to have the experience under your belts so that when you are tasked with ensuring that an event has live blogging, you know what the bloggers face. The purpose of the Storify exercise is to experiment with curation.

Week 11 – Notes
First, if you are using a machine in the lab and Audacity doesn’t seem to work right — it could be the machine. Try another!
Audacity tips:
- The “time shift” tool
is what allows you to change relative position of tracks (so that they can “stairstep”). See this toolbar description page and this one-minute podcast tutorial. - To reduce sound or increase sound, select the track (or parts of a track) — Effect -> Amplify
- Audacity support from Gov’t of Oz
- Audacity 1.2 online manual
- Audacity tutorials

Status of first story (text/pix) and second story (audio script) draft
The com586 page should contain a LINK to two things — the FINAL version of the first iteration of the story and the DRAFT script.
NOTE: I will no longer search your blog for the links to your work — and please don’t expect your fellow students to do so in order to provide you with peer feedback.
- Barrie (missing both)
- Chloe (1st story, no draft script)
- Kaichen (1st story, no script)
- Kevin (the com586 page should contain LINKS to the first final story and the draft script. the com300 page should not be your draft script. )
- Kristina (1st story, draft script)
- Luke (missing both here – draft script)
- Magnus (the com586 page should contain LINKS to the first final story and the draft script. the com586 page should not be the first page of your multi-page first story. )

Discussion Questions:
- What exactly is “dynamism,” and why does it affect perceived credibility?
- What role does search engine optimization play – if any – in creating website credibility?
- Are trust antecedents the primary measuring stick for risk?
- Can ease of use make up for other deficiencies in a website, including its underlying credibility?
- lots here!
- How do we determine credibility of online information if it’s being provided by a sole author?
- What is the advantage of ‘non-traditional’ sources of information (i.e. sources that can’t verify their authenticity)?
- The more online-active we are, do we become less trusting or more trusting of visited sites?
- What site do you trust?
- Are there certain designs or elements that elicit trust?
- Do brand names influence trust regardless of site design?
- Parenthetical: what is the real value of this research? Will my findings help make this a better world, or just help people mess it up some more?
LAB:
- Editing with Audacity
- Convert audio files with Zamzar
NEXT WEEK:
- Bring four-five photos that you want to use in your final project. We’ll “insert” them into a Flash slideshow template in lab.
