Mr. Zepeda and Ms Whiteside's students begin shooting their own panos. I started off assuming students could take a simple set of clear instructions and follow them to have success on the first try. This did not happen very often. Shooting panos is very exacting, and requires careful attention to detail. So that they can scaffold students' initial QTVR attempts, teachers need to practice and be successful with the technology first.
Fast feedback is important.
I would like to have an Internet production pipeline. Schools upload pano shots to UT and download stitched results in a matter of a couple of days. Students may then be able to critique their recent pano shoot based on QTVR results. To the greatest extent possible, students and teachers should experience this high-tech end of QTVR production. After kids get skilled in QTVR production, the next step will be to get them to integrate them with other media elements into more elaborate multimedia learning projects.
