WEEK 13 - NOVEMBER 14 2007 We had our team meeting attended by three 6190 participants. We didn’t have any development issues to discuss so we gave them an update on the progress made to date on our project. We also discussed at length about studio. For this week, I worked on presentation ideas for our team presentation for the rehearsal. Also finalized with team members the procedures we would use to conduct our alpha testing. Next week hopefully I will be assessing alpha test results and getting ready to conduct Beta tests and report on that too.

WEEK 12 - November 07 2008 We had a team meeting on Thursday and there was a division of the development process amongst the team members and our consultants. The team met again on Saturday 3rd of November to enable focus on the development process. I attended the Saturday session for a short while because my work could be done independently. For this week I worked on the content, specifically conclusions to each of our lessons and pre and post test for our Beta evaluators. Next week hopefully after the showcase, I plan to conduct Alpha testing with our Alpha evaluators.

WEEK 11 OCTOBER 31st 2007 We had a team meeting on Thursday because we did not want to be behind the development schedule. There was an update on the storyboard amendments and evaluation questions. We made still some more adjustments on the developments within the content; essentially in areas where we had limited images. Graphic standards issue for the project was discussed with intent to developing one. For this week, I worked on placing content into the scene one. For next week, I will work more on the development process as is necessary.

WEEK 9 October 17th 2007 We had our usual team meeting. The screen design and the storyboards were our main focus. We made more amendments to the screen design to try to ensure that learners would not be too confused about where they needed to be at any point in time. This was primarily Daisyane’s focus. We reviewed work from other team members (Emily, HueiHsien and Kazu) about the types of interactivity that can be built into each lesson. Finally we divided up the work between the team members. For this week I am working on the storyboard/prototype for the Unit 1 lesson1 section.Next week we should development and I will assist wherever necessary to ensure project is completed in a timely manner.

WEEK 8 - October 10 2007 During our weekly team meeting we discussed the project time line and tried as much as possible to reconcile dates with all our upcoming project deliverables. For the most part everything seems pretty close and overlapping as all projects are prone to be. The fear is with the upcoming holiday periods and how those will affect our schedules. I am optimistic though that we are capable and as such will rise to the challenge God willing!! Anyway for this week I didn’t have much production since we’ve moved more towards the development phase. I reviewed the project time-line to identify any corrections or amendments that are needed. I am waiting for feedback from some of my team-mates on exactly where they envision the interactivity so that the flowcharts can be amended if need be. For next week, I will use the information received to amend the flowchart if necessary and participate in anyway necessary in the project development.

WEEK 7 - OCTOBER 3 2007 As usual during our meeting we got an update about the team communication and events with our client from our Project Manager. The team got feedback on three of our project documents from our class Facilitator, Dr. Clinton. We went into details about how we will develop the instructional modules. The team graphic designer led discussions using screen shot representations. The team also discussed other ways we could present the modules The team divided the upcoming documents. For this week, I developed flow charts for the Lesson 1, 2, & 3 represented by goal 1 in our task analysis. I also made amendments to the Evaluation Plan. For next week I intend to make any amendments to the flowchart and any other team assignments from our upcoming weekly meeting.
