Project topics

There are 25 students which makes 7 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4 - 8 altogether.
I think I’ll have first second & third choices of topics.
4 sets of topics with 2 groups doing the same topic.

  1. Digital Music. Has iTunes killed the CD or is the future in Digital Music?
    Legitimacy of Kazaa. Problems with spyware. Can the recording industry cope?
  2. Spam. Legitimate business practice or hateful nuisance?
    Also other related issues such as phishing & fraud
  3. Future of the Internet. Anarchy or evolution?
    Viruses, worms, etc Voice over IP, home access methods, security issues, role of Microsoft
  4. Google - search engine supreme or big brother waiting to pounce?
    Privacy issues could be covered here. Gmail and privacy.
  5. Blogs - web publishing for the rest of us or just fluff?
  6. The new economy - can you make money on the web or is it a dangerous myth?

Groups can suggest other topics.

Total number of pages 6? Consistent design.

  • Introduction page
  • 3 themes (individual author on each)
  • glossary of terms defined - links to major use in text
  • annotated web references/bibliography

Decide ‘home’ site to house the common pages.
Q - could an access control list be arranged to allow others in the group write access?
