Abstract:
This DVD is an important step in Ball State University's technological history. In previous years, Ball State was the first university in Indiana to produce the annual biennium request on a CD-ROM. This year, Ball State University went another technological step forward to produce this legislative request on DVD. This project is also special because for the first time, students enrolled in the Telecommunications department at Ball State took responsibility for this prestigious project. This project's significance lies in the fact that it is an attempt for $250 million dollars to benefit Ball State University in future years.This DVD compiled work from students in three production classes from the Telecommunications department. Along with allowing students to have the chance to work on a project with a lot of significance, this DVD taught the students the process of creating a legislative request, allowed the students to work with the president and some vice presidents of Ball State University, and taught the students working with this project the dedication and work ethnic needed to produce a DVD for a professional audience. This project also gave students the opportunity to go to the state house to watch the presentations unfold.
