The Normal Group would like to thank the following people for making this project possible:
Andrew Chamberlain (a then-undergraduate student co-teaching the English 239 course with Dr. Ball), who was instrumental in planning and driving the other students to the 2008 Thomas R. Watson Conference
Debra Journet, who was open to the idea of undergraduates documenting the conference and provided in-kind registration fees for them
The Center for Teaching and Learning with Technology at Illinois State University, which provided $2,000 in funding through its Teaching Development Innovation Grant to pay for the students hotels and food as well as some digital recording equipment
The English Department at Illinois State University, which paid for transportation costs for the students
The Research and Sponsored Programs Office at Illinois State University, which began an Undergraduate Research Fellowship award in response to a lack of non-Honors undergraduate research opportunities on campus. One student from The Normal Group, Matthew Wendling, received a summer fellowship to revise several of the videos in this chapter. (Revision suggestions were based on student editorial feedback from a subsequent semester of the Multimodal Composition course).
