Marine Studies Multimedia
Simulation
Once done with the NmInTheSouthPacific project, I'd like to work with marine studies to create an interactive simulation, perhaps for coastal zone management or the like. Father Bonato and Eileen tui recommended the followign contacts:
- Leon Zann
- Subashni Appana
- Tony Chamberlain
Also see below Coastal Zone Management (302) CD-rom
Below are some other project ideas
MS201: Marine Geology and Sedimentology
Main contact: 
Susan Pohler
Put the notes for this course, as well as links to other resources, online. I propose using a Wiki to do this, so that Ms. Pohler can update her notes at will. She was turned down by Extension/ WEBCT. Also be sure to invite her to WebDesignForLecturers.
Media Centre to:
- Set up webspace that is PHP enabled (I.T. Department)
- Set up a Wiki (ChristopherRobbins)
- Train staff on
- Using a Wiki
- Wiki Markup
- FTP
Susan Pohler to:
- Upload images via FTP
- Use the Wiki to put her notes online
The Shore Ecology of Suva and South Viti Levu
Main contact: Susan Pohler
I suggest same approach as above, namely Susan Pohler can use her wiki to put this information online. And added benefit is that we can also Dump the content into XHTML for distribution on disk. UPDATE: She will use WebCT with Extension for this project, after discussing with IT.
Media project: MS201-the Introduction to Ocean Resource Management.
Main contact: Joeli Veitayaki
Prepare sound-bytes for short spots on Radio and TV promoting coastal conservation
Joeli to:
- Organize students to read soundbytes
- Network with local radio and TV station
- Write 2-3 sentence spots
Media Centre to:
- Record students (Maraia)
- Design accompanying imagery, clips, animations etc. (ChristopherRobbins)
- Lecture/ liase with MS 303 class (ChristopherRobbins)
Coastal Zone Management (302) CD-rom
Main contact: Joeli Veitayaki
Discussed a simulation of coastal erosion, analyzing the affects of 3 variables:
- Currents
- Vegetation
- Construction
We are thinking of showing a few case studies:
- Makaluva Island: the moving island: Chimneys in the sea
Resources
- SOPAC: arial photos
- Randy Thaman
Pacific Coral Database
Main contact: Susan Pohler
Susan Pohler wants to put together a Database of Pacific Coral. I suggested speaking to Wade Miage of JICA.
