Hi Helen,

Since wiki's seem to be the topic recently, I would recommend using a  
wiki for this project. One page could be created and then sub- 
sectioned off for students to each add their components. It is  
relatively easy to add any sort of media to a wiki page and all  
students would be able to see it. The only thing that I would  
recommend in order to really get the true usefulness of a wiki out of  
it would be for the students to have to read/listen to other students  
postings and in some way interact with that content through  
additional commenting or questions/expansions on their classmates  
postings. The point of a wiki is to be collaborative and to write for  
a broader audience than the instructor alone. The description you  
give below is missing that piece but I think it could be added to  
make the work more interesting both for students and the professor.  
There are innumerable benefits of such a change that I can think of  
but won't bother burdening the list with.
