15/5 April 16, 2008

It is already time for another 15/5, time is really flying by. This week has been very busy for the Genesis Learning Solutions team. We met on Monday, the 14th with actual camp directors to have them go through our project for content accuracy as well as provide specific feedback on several aspects of the project. I worked with John who was able to share several suggestions of areas that could be improved upon. Several suggestions were things we had been mentioned by our 6200 consultants. So we are in the process of making adjustments.

We had quite a breakthrough with some limitations with our project, thanks to Roman who was able to convert our basic design template into a CSS document. I am not sure what that means exactly, (I never really understood the concept behind CSS) except I know it allows us much more flexibility in adding additional text or graphics.

I am looking forward to getting our work to a more refined state. I noticed while the SME’s were going through the project, there were quite a few issues, especially with navigation and the wordiness of the project. One we can adjust, the other is quite a bit beyond the scope of the project. Now, I can really appreciate Dr. Branch’s detailed description and discussion on the importance of the scope document in project management. Without such guidelines, we could end up doing all sorts of things.

This week:
1. Attend SIG
2. Work on fine tuning Unit 1 (my section)
3. Meet with Dr. Powell’s undergrad’s for the beta testing (Monday)
