Some of the students in LATS 41 produced individual projects, while others worked in pairs or in groups of three people. All of the students' final projects can be accessed through the three menu items, "Video projects," "Web projects," and"Art projects," and then the sub-menu items are organized by the students' names. Here are the groups and individual projects:
