This is a flexible project for a team of up to 12 students that can be from 5 to 30 hours per week. The work is quite independent, so the team is largely a group of students doing similar things in parallel.

The Housing Solution Summit is a cutting-edge Virtual Summit with over 80 sessions on ways to address the many facets of the housing crisis. Most of the sessions are pre-recorded, often with videos that blend content from past webinars, prior virtual summits, Q&A sessions and their existing video content. Sessions range from about 20 minutes to 59 minutes long and are on Vimeo as private videos.

The content is very interesting if you care about housing, poverty, justice, economics, and such. It helps to generate hope because it focuses on solutions.

Students would pick a cluster of sessions on a similar topic and do the following

• Create a high-level outline of the presentation with time-stamps on the different sections. (For internal use)
• Make notes, with time stamps of any recommended editing (e.g. a reference to President Trump or the "upcoming election" might be good to edit out, since that would make the presentation seem old. Also identify any promotion of events (such as the November 2020 summit) that should be edited out (with time stamps).
• Do simple video editing (zoom, pan, delete out the "umm" and "Can you hear me OK now?" content that is not valuable. Also, making suggestions on low-value segments that might be cut out or high-value parts of the Q&A that might be merged into a presentation.
• Help create a description (or suggest refinements to the current description or title)
• Find short clips that can be used for social media
• Create a 2-page summary of the talk for people who are interested in the topic but too busy to listen to the session.

We're planning on migrating much of this content from the Housing Solution Summit into a big, flexible eLearning platform so people can easily access the information they need in the months and years after this event. This work will help prepare for that.

We have a computer-generated transcript for each session. If time allows, those can be cleaned up, adding a few PowerPoint slide images, to be an added resource for participants.

Once the project is over, there may be contract opportunities to continue to work on this type of content.

My team and I will provide feedback on your descriptions and summaries.

We'll encourage people on the team to cross-check each other's summaries for clarity.
