week 11

Last week, we had our flash template ready and finalized the ideas about activities and exercieses. Each of us took the part that we would work on for our development. We had another meeting yesterday, to discuss the flash action scripts that we will use. Since the storyboard has been confirmed, we will assign the tasks for our consultants.

Personally, I worked on ideas for the part 2 in unit one-there were some unclear parts in activities. We will have our team meeting on the weekend to work on the development together. I'll mainly work on drag and drop parts.

week 10

Last week, we confirmed our ideas that we had for each lesson. Actually we talked that we would develop prototypes, but it turned out that it meant "storyboard". So, after some confusions, we all brought our storyboard and discussed the activities and ideas all together. I think now it is the time for developing prototypes.

Most of the content information was verified. Thus, this week the most of the time I checked the content and tried to find out any more supplementary information/images, and worked on the prototype.

week 9

Last week, we discussed the activities/interactions for the module, and decided details about the page design. Since we have a picture about what the module will be like, we could discuss things more specifically. There were some ideas that would be better to be included in our module, but that we did not know how to actualize those ideas.

This week, we will mainly work on developing our prototype. While developing the prototype, we'll also think more about interactivities and/or other activities in the module, and how content information is given.

# Week 8

Last week, we discussed more in detail about the screen design. We had our 6210 team presentation last week during the studio meeting, and Daisy prepared some screenshots and explained the concepts that we will use for our module. However, there was navigation bars missing, so that is what should be discussed further. Since we use icons of books, folders, notes, etc. instead of text menu, we should decide where and/or how we can put those icons when contents/activities are shown to the users.

This week, I was supposed to work with daisy helping her revise screenshots, but honestly I couldn't work on it much. I've got files from her yesterday, so hopefully I can work on it a bit today. As other half of the team works on the interaction ideas, we will discuss more about it this week and probably start storyboarding.

# Week 7

Last week, our team discussed on the theme of our product more in detail. It was very interesting to talk about what it would be like. All of us wanted to use some metaphor for our module, and did not want our module to be linear. Thus, we decided to use a person's desk in his/her office with notes, books, a telephone, etc. Each will show modules, references, scenarios, etc.

Personally, I worked on the flowchart. Since our goal 3 deals with situations where the agents work with clients, I thought it would be good to use scenario based learning. While working on the flowchart, one of my team members shared her concern, which is our module will be too big and I agree. Each goal contains many tasks and we have 3 goals. It doesn't seem to be feasible to complete this project by the end of this semester. We will discuss on this tomorrow when we have our team meeting.

Next week, we will start to work on storyboard and basic graphics so that we can provide some templates for our module.

week 6

Last week, our team decided on design scheme for our project. We will use some metaphor such as notes, books, etc. We also spent lots of time wokring on our objectives. We checked our tasks together one by one. It was definately more helpful than working on them alone. Also, the content has been revised, so we needed to reflect content changes in our task analysis.

This week, I worked on task analysis again with test items and performance objectives. Although this is not first time working on it, I get frustrated everytime I work on it. Also, sometimes the matter of testing constrain our creativity in that we do not want to come up with objectives that cannot be "measured". Anyway, our team will discuss more about it tomorrow night and hopefully we will move forward so that we can start our storyboard next week.

week5

Last week, we had Emily back so we could discuss more about the content. Since the task due this week is the timeline, we were able to think about bigger picture about our project while discussing the timeline for each task. Anything specific has not been decided yet, but we agreed that we would meet this week with some ideas on the activities, screen designs, etc. Emily also said that there will be some content changes. I reviewed the timeline that Emily primarily worked on. It seemed nice but somehow not easy to figure out what we need to get done.

We received Dr. Clinton's feedback on our task analysis and objectives yesterday. What we did was task inventory but what he wanted to do us was a set of performance objectives. We will discuss more about it tomorrow during our team meeting. Next week, I'll mainly work on those revisions.
