Project Log

Our group members (Brett, John, Hu, and Liz) all met on Friday afternoon in the lab where class is held, during normal class time.  During this time we worked on the first half of our storyboard as well as taking screenshots.  Our goal for the next meeting is to finish our storyboard and perhaps begin working on our rough draft of the documentation project.  This meeting is scheduled for 5pm on Tuesday in the lab where class is held.

My group decided on a topic for our documenttaion: how to give a self-manicure.  We wrote our memo and made our gantt chart. I have been researching our topic and finding pictures that we can using in our documentation.  We are ready to create our storyboard.

This week my group decided on a topic for our documentation: creating and using a mailing list in Purdue Webmail. We created the memo and turned it in on Wednesday. We also worked on the storyboard this weekend. Next week, we will start on the rough draft of the actual documentation.

This week in class and in one out-of-class meeting, our group decided on the topic for our documentation and created the storyboard to be presented in class on Wednesday. The group met and decided which screen shots would be included within the PowerPoint presentation. Each member also started thinking about how to recruit 3-4 people each for the user testing, once a draft of the documentation is completed.

I did some research for our project by navigating the site and looking for certain eJournals, articles, and databases.  I tried to target areas where users may run into problems.

This week, we wrote up our proposal.  Now, I am going to make the storyboard.  The storyboard will have text describing the steps.  It will also have images captured by Aaron.  Then, Stew and Sam will edit and proofread the storyboard before we turn it in on Wednesday.

This week I have met with the group several times to work on the documentation project. Specifically, I have edited the proposal memo and emailed the final memo and gantt chart. Also, I outlined the materail needed for the storyboard and began working on the storyboard in powerpoint with the group.
