Project Goals

• Design and develop a web site for Prof. David
  Reis, the Prof. of Religion- the Department of
  Religion at Wells College.
• He has a web site running based on html coding.
  He has used Netscape Navigator editor to create
  his web site.
• My goal is to make his current website more
  user-friendly and user-interactive by adding new
  features to his site such as Javascript codes,
  surveys, and frames as well as compressed audio
  and video files by using Studio DV software.

Description-Project overview

• In conjunction with The Pluralism Project at
  Harvard University, the Wells College Pluralism
  Project seeks to map the religious landscape of
  Central New York.

4
Cont.

• First, students in Wells Colleges "Introduction
  to World Religions" class will visit various
  religious sites, attend services, and interview
  community members. Videotapes, pictures, and
  interviews will then be formatted to CD-ROM for
  student presentations. The second phase will
  focus on creating a web site to display this
  research. The religious communities listed below
  represent current student interests.
• The second phase will focus on creating a web
  site to display this research. The religious
  communities listed below represent current
  student interests.

1.1 Improvements and Future possible Additions
to the Project

• David Reis has already accomplished a great deal
  for someone who has no educational background in
  computer programming and coding. As can be seen
  below, his current website is based on html
  coding done by the help of html editors.

6
Users.

• After the project is done it will be put on the
  virtual world a.k.a. the Internet. Anyone who is
  interested in finding information on Pluralism
  Project can view the website.
• the webmaster for this site will be me consulting
  the findings and new features with Prof. David
  Reis.

Data

• Videotapes, pictures, and interviews are already
  formatted to CD-ROM for students in Studio DV
  software which are compressed into real audio and
  video files.

8
Implementation Environment-HardwareSoftware

• This project will use Intel Pentium II (an IBM
  PC). Windows environment will be used and in
  order to compress the videotapes into audio files
  (in Real Player and Quick viewer for Macintosh)
  Studio DV software will be used.
• Javascript coded website and frames will make the
  project userfriendly and pleasant looking.

Applicable Technologies

• 2.1. Studio DV
• Studio DV is one of those rare tools that's
  simple enough for beginners yet engaging and deep
  enough for advanced users
• 2.2 Real Player is used to compress audio files
  into viewable applications in the Internet
  environment.Real Audio is a server-based
  streaming audio solution with a special emphasis
  on optimizing audio for 14.4 and 28.8
  connections.

10
Implementation cont.

• MPEG is actually a family of multimedia standards
  created by the Moving Picture Experts Group. It
  supports 3 types of informationvideo, audio, and
  streaming.
• Javascript was also used to type a stream of text
  on the toolbar which will be shown soon!

11
Implementation--Frames

• Frames are a method of dividing the browser
  window into smaller sub-windows, each displaying
  a different HTML document.
• Lets now see the project itself!
