The Public Speaking Course and Web-Based Technology

Watching the director's cut of a DVD with the audio commentary turned on provides the viewer with valuable insight into the creative process of making a film. The idea for this project comes directly from that experience. This presentation will focus on the integration of web-based technology to address specific learning objectives in a college-level public speaking class. “Behind the Scenes of Public Speaking” includes over 80 minutes of video, a website, and access via iTunes University. Factors that shaped the preproduction, production, and postproduction processes of the project in relation to specific course learning objectives will be discussed.
