15/5 Tenth week

Last week, I wasn't able to attend the STUDIO class due to my condition. I have had a very busy week and anticipate to keep being busy all the way to the end of semester. Here is my situation. I am taking four different classes at the last semester which mean that I need to prepare myself to graduate both academically(fullfilling the graduation requirement) and professionally(applying for a job). Last weekend was the time that everything hits me. I have to prepare the phone interview for the job , complete the research report and storyboarding for the project. I just admire people who manage multipletask withing the limited time frame. Okay. That was enough complain! The good news is I was able to complete all that in time even though I am not sure about the quality of the works.:-)

Yesterday, Trudy and I met with Dr. Powell and some alumni of the program to record some new videos. Tour expectations were greatly exceeded and we were able to get some great footage in addition to what we had initially intended to record. By listening their experience while taking the interview shot, I want to participate the Russian Summer Camp!

I plan to do video editing in this weekend so that we can have some of the video that could be installed before dress rehearsal. As the showcase dress rehearsal lurks in the near future, our team will be working around the clock to get as much of the product completed by that time, so that we will have sufficient time after the showcase to make revisions and also to conduct evaluations.

15/5 Nineth week

I can't not believe that it is already nineth week! By looking at the other 6190 and 6200 students project during the project day last week, I felt little behind because we have not fully immersed in the development stage. But, we finally completed the flow and storyboard documents for the entire program we plan to develop. We have also begun the storyboarding, editing and development of the animations and videos that will be available in the site.

I have assigned to work on storyboarding for the videos as well as Trudy and Suhwa. Thanksfully, Trudy handed the list of the video that she sorted out so that I can focus on sotryboarding. Also, I have to create the rough storyboard for the interview video we need to shot next Wednesday.

15/5 Eighth Week

Since the project has been faced to development phase, we have been started to work on stuffs such as making the flow of the site and storyboard. This past week, members of our team reviewed the initial flow we have developed a few weeks back. By the end of this process , we will have a layout of each screen, the content and the resources needed. It will help us in the future to stay organized and to also look at the project as a whole.

As we enter to development phase, each of team ember will be working on their major task as well as helping each other whenever it is needed. It will reduce redundancy and therefore, help us to work in a more efficient way.

Personally this week, it was my job to start to review the video clips we have and sort out what things we want to use. For the next week, we plan to have completed the flow and storyboard of the site. We also, plan to begin the actual development of the HTML pages, videos and animations.

15/5 Seventh week

How time flies! I just can't not believe that we are already pass the half of the semester. Finally, we have finished our evaluation documents for client's review. We met together on Sunday and then again on Monday night to finalize the documents.

I was so delighted and amazed by our team dynamic while we had a team meeting through on-line this week. Everybody had well prepared their assigned work in good forms of power point presentation file and actively involved to give the feedback for other people's work. In addition, it only takes half an hour to finish up all this document!

Due to the profound feedback from the other team members, I was able to finalize my assigned part which are learners profile, profile of reviewers for alpha/beta test, design and development survey.

In the upcoming week, our team plans to: Finalize the flow of each section , Begin working on a flow chart, Begin working on the prototype, Put together a list of all the videos/animations that must be created .

15/5 Sixth week

Oops! I completely have forgotten about the 15/5 journal in the past week. I apologize for the late posting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week’s meeting went smoothly as usual, and we were able to finish our initial draft of each of the different sections that we plan to include in the project. We discussed about how the various resources (video, graphics, and animation) will be used in the project We also, discussed in further detail the documents that we had split up among each other that is due on the 9^th.

Since I have been assigned to work on learners profile, I have gathered some information on ACA's survey result from the previous 6210 STUDIO group, Genesis Learning Solutions. Also, I utilize some of our own survey result from the needs assessment survey that we conducted in Dr. Powell's class.

For the next week, we need to finalize the Evaluation Plan and the other documents in time to meet the October 9^th deadline.
