This week has been very busy so far, and there are still things to do. I met our client for the first time when she joined our meeting last Thursday. She gave us a lot of material to use for the content. Our ideas started bubbling up, and we were all very excited. It's going to end up being a really fun project with an end result that I think our client will be very pleased with. We decided that with the amount of the material the client gave us we would have to narrow down our objectives in order to focus on a few main points. The content that is left over will be on the site but it won't be in as much detail.
After our client left the meeting we created a survey/questionnaire to give to one of the classes who would potentially become counselors on the Russia trip. The questionnaire contained questions about Russian culture, camp counselor norms, and personal questions on work ethics and interactions with children. The survey was given to the class and then the data was examined. From the data we decided on 6 objectives for our instruction. We also met online as a group to start getting together all of the documents we would need for our analysis phase.
I sort of feel like all of the data gathering and other preliminary stuff that we do is kind of boring (am I allowed to say that?). Maybe boring isn't the right word but I can't think of how to describe it accurately. I would compare it to the months of practicing the piano before the night of the big recital. I find the design and development phases much more enjoyable!
Coming up next week, we will beginning the design phase. We will be closely looking at our content and data and will begin to determine appropriate ways to relay the information to our users.
