Assignment 4

For this week's assignment, we will integrate multiple media onto a single Web page. Along the way, we'll learn a bit about how to find this stuff. The assignment is to build a Web page with the following content:

• A lecture video from our class. You can find these videos from our syllabus. Your page must point directly to the video, not to the syllabus page.
• An audio greeting in your own voice. The audio greeting should not play automatically; rather, it should be played when the user selects to hear the greeting. You may record the greeting any way that you like, but Windows XP contains a sound recorder that is suitable fort this task (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Entertainment->Sound Recorder). You can find a sample audio file that I made if you want to see how this comes out.
• A link to a tutorial that explains how JPEG or MP3 really works. The trick here is to find a tutorial that provides a useful degree of insight without getting lost in math. Your goal should be to find an explanation that you think you and your classmates would really find useful.
• A cartoon that contains a donkey found using Google Image Search (http://www.google.com, select Images"). Your page must include the cartoon as an inline image, not just as a clickable link to the image.
• An video lecture on Mars exploration that you found using http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/. Your link should go directly to the video rather than just the search engine, so you'll need to use Google to find a different link to the video (once you know what you are looking for).

As always, you may use any tools that you find useful e.g., HTML editors, search engines,. ...) when designing this page.
