Introduction
From September 2002 through May 2004, I worked as a graduate research assistant on the Metamedia research team at MIT. Metamedia is a online learning application that allows teachers and students to upload, share, organize and annotate media materials. During my two year stint, my primary role was as the visual and interaction designer for the Metamedia framework. This was a rewarding project for me because it allowed me to take part in the early conceptualization and design, several iterations and finally, implementation.

The following essay outlines how the Metamedia framework interface has evolved during my time at Metamedia. Use the timeline above to navigate through the different Metamedia interfaces. For a full, unmediated documentation of my work at Metamedia, go to the Development site.
