production: what is the journal?

The journal (paper or website) is a reference document compiled by the Production Team that includes the work done by the participants during the course of the event. All ASSIGNMENTS, DOCUMENTATION and GRAPHICS from the event will be compiled chronologically into a complete document for the participants. It's up to the Production Team to establish a method to design the PageMaker, or DreamWeaver document and drop the components of the Journal into these applications.The challenge for the Production Team is to stay as current as possible and place the components as quickly as they receive them.

If you're new to Knowledge Work at the NavCtr, take a look at a few journal from past events.

Nowadays it's likely that the Production Team will produce an Web Journal. All ASSIGNMENTS, DOCUMENTATION and GRAPHICS from the event will be compiled chronologically into a website for the participants. This method gives the added advantage of linking the documentation to KnowledgeAgents referenced by the participants as well as their hypertiles. Books and articles used during the event may also become a part of the website so the participants can return to the experience as completely as possible.

Paper Journal
A paper journal is becoming a thing of the past, but there are still instances where the sponsors choose paper. Adobe PageMaker is the current application available for producing a document on the scale of a Journal. If the Journal is a PageMaker document, the Graphics files should be saved as TIFFs or BMPs. Image resolution from 72dpi to 150dpi may be suitable depending on the Graphic, its complexity and final size required in the document.

Web Journal
If the Journal is a website, the Graphics file should be JPGs or GIFs. Use JPGs if the image contains lot of subtle color differences (shading, gradients) that should be retained in the web image. Use GIFs when color is present but not an issue for clarity or readability. GIF files are smaller and will load faster in your browser. Use GIFs whenever possible. Save your GIFs or JPGs at 72dpi for the website. Use a higher resolution only if the image is something that might be downloaded for use by the participants.
