delay in production

video interviews coming soon for weblog 3!
so, i lied. I don't know how to upload recorded videos to my blog so I'll summarize what the three students I interviewed from my Crime and Victorian Vice class would like to have for an ideal course website.
The first student said she would like to have a place where students would be able to add notes they have taken in class. The way the professor presents notes to the class is through 175 power point slides of different pictures-no words besides a title. From class lectures students must write down what they think is needed. She suggested maybe a forum or if there is an web 2 application that uploaded notes as documents so students can see any details they may have missed.
The second student I interviewed wanted a detailed calendar with all the due dates and tests because they are not mentioned in our syllabus, the students have to find out when tests are by attending class. He thinks having an outlined schedule is a better way to organize the class. He also suggested a grade book.
The final student I interviewed, if possible, wanted the movies we have to watch for class uploaded online. The legality of this is questionable, but the movies we have to watch are ancient and not available at your local video store. Considering I can't even upload videos from my computer onto a blog, uploading movies to the class website is probably not going to be able to happen.
