The Cheryl Amendment

I'm amending (slightly) how people can submit their three main projects given some of the comments Cheryl has made over the past few days. (Note: all the comments from Cheryl were good.) Here's the amendment:
Your total audiobook materials need to be 10 to 15 minutes in length, and your total slideshow materials need to be 7 to 10 minutes in length. The implication of this amendment is that, for example, that you could create two slideshows with lengths of 4 and 5 minutes and meet the project guidelines.
Why create the Cheryl amendment? Simple really: for some of you creating shorter audiobooks or slideshows may be more beneficial for your learners. That's fine. What I want to hold constant is that everyone has created a certain amount of multimedia material—so as long as all your slideshow "stuff" is between 10 and 15 minutes then you've fulfilled the spirit (and now the letter) of the project's intent. Ditto with your audiobook materials.

I hope this slight amendment makes the course projects more useful for some of you.
