This project is adapting and implementing exemplary materials and strategies from the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science at SUNY Buffalo (developing case studies for real-world multimedia projects), St. Joseph's University (PA) (adapting the Alice programming system for multimedia topics), Wake Forest University (for networked multimedia studies), and Lehman College (CUNY) (as a source for upper-division studies) to develop three gateway courses in its Multimedia Program. This two-year project is ensuring that the graduates from this program are prepared for their studies when they transfer to four-year colleges. The project is also establishing a Multimedia Student Access Computer Lab that will serve no fewer than 290 Multimedia Programming majors annually. A further aspect of the project lies in implementing a comprehensive faculty development program that will ensure integration of the proposed courseware in the curriculum.
