I am trying to help a professor at a local university equip a graduate computer science class with some software. The class is a follow-on to a more theoretical course in Multimedia Systems. This course will offer extensive hands on in designing multimedia and also in analyzing multimedia performance( since it is a graduate course in a computer science department.) The professor is willing to write a report, have the students do some beta testing, etc. But because they are a state university they do not have much money for software. The professor is looking for some contacts in Autodesk to see if this company would be willing to donate software in exchange for something to be determined. They would particularly like Animator and 3D Studio. The class will be working on projects such as preparing the best performing diskette based multimedia titles. I am sure that these students will develop some clever techniques that could be shared in exchange for the software.

Ed, I'll forward your message on to Christal Moreno as she is overseeing the forums in Jeffrey Pike's absence. I can't do it until Tuesday when they all get back from their holiday weekend. We'll see what happens.

ED, I saw your question here. As Joe said the main sysop will be off here for a while. The program you want to link up with is the University Partner program. The schools provide some research oriented feed back to the education dept. This is reported in a yearly gathering of articles published by that dept. I'm sorry I do not have more specific info but will see what I can get for you this week and will read the other responses to your thread. I am interested in more info on the type of class, content and outcomes as I develop more curriculum for my own classes. This forum provides a great place to share curriculum ideas. The technology is moving so fast that this is the only medium that can provide the info needed at a soon enough pace. It would be great to have the instructor log on here also. Discussion of topics dealing with MM is very welcome. Thanks, PAT

Ed, Roger Payne is the Autodesk University account manager for special programs. If you can not locate him via phone, contact Cinde Broadhurst and she will put you in touch with Roger.

Hi, Ed I am a senior student majoring Broadcasting in University of North Dakota, I am really interested in Multimedia, and I am interested in those sofewares, too. I will graduate on May 1994 and I am looking for graduate schools which have multimedia programs. Can you give me more information about your university? How can I apply for it? What do they require? Thank you very much Min Tang
