Digital Commons story/stories

• Mary talked with Chris Millet 6-23 about the suggestion she received to do a story on the Dirk Mateer ECON 2 video. (DC staff are still editing the video and accompanying Web page on the DC site.) He feels the video and page already tell the story, so it would not be a good expenditure of energy to write an article as well. This video is one in a series of 10 case studies that are projected to be finished by the beginning of the fall semester. I suggested when the series is all created that we do a story on how that collection of cases is a good resource for instructors. In the meantime, however, he agreed that when the first Mateer one is done that we make it a "Video Highlight" on the TLT home page, for which we can write a couple introductory sentences.

• Sometime in fall, they will have expanded the instructor section of the DC site. At that time, he agreed we could also do a brief story on that for the TLT newsletter.
