Notes for Instructors

Note calendar assignment sample for TV Production.

Numerous problems were fixed in late May and August—mostly disconnected links that resulted from the transfer of more than 1,500 files to three new hosting services. If you discover a problem, please let us know. Just click on the e-mail link below.

Because of traffic overloads, three of the website hosting services were changed in May to add greater capacity and speed. In the process, a few files temporarily dropped between the cybercracks and were temporarily unavailable. The four sites should now be independent, which should reduce problems caused by hyperlinks jumping from one domain to the other.

Animation Issue

Some firewalls, such as ZoneAlarm, shut off animated images. This will affect some images on this site. (The dove on the left should be flying—although not necessarily getting anywhere.) In ZoneAlarm animation can be restored by going to Privacy, Ad blocking, Custom, and uncheck the box animation. Other firewalls and browsers have similar options.


New Color-Coding Scheme

Although a great many people go through these modules on an individual basis, a great many users are in classrooms. To try to accommodate a greater range of needs, we've devised a color code for links.  

A little yellow square in front of a hyperlink ( -- ). This indicates background reading. This material is not included on the interactive tests, although it may help in understanding the concepts covered.

A blue square in front of a link ( - ) indicates technical information. This type of information is designed for advanced classes and professionals; and, again, this may or may be required by an instructor. These areas will also be expanded in the future to meet the needs of advanced students.

A red square is reserved for ( - ) external links that have related information. This information is not included on the interactive tests, but an instructor has the option of asking that you read this information. CyberCollege and the InternetCampus have no control over the content or availability of these external links.

And, finally, there are the required reading links marked with a green square
( -- ). These are covered in the interactive tests and puzzles.

Links that are not marked with a colored square are considered self-explanatory.

Depending on your academic calendar you will need to approach this course in your own way. However, it may be helpful to look over a sample calendar of activities relating to TV production. (Click on the various months at the top to see the schedules activities and hyperlinks.)
