Teams

Let’s organize into teams.

We’ll start by creating a quick survey in TCNJ’s Qualtrics Survey tool, which you should get free access to as students at TCNJ.

  • In Qualtrics, we’ll create a couple of questions, beginning with a “Text Entry” question for your name
  • Next we’ll create a “Matrix” Question for each of you to self assess your skills along a number of multimedia disciplines including graphic design, web design, games programming, writing and animation/film
  • Finally we’ll publish our survey

Now, point your browser to the survey web url and take the survey.
