Amanda and Letara: AHANA Pre-Health Society
Both of the students are working on the AHANA website. Proposal is satisfactory. They need to elaborate a little more about first drafts of portfolio. Letara is currently working on an AHANA brochure. She is using the organization's already-made website design elements in Illustrator to design the brochure. Then she will add the illustrator images for the brochure into Microsoft Word to type in the text. Amanda will be adding contact groups in the Gmail account. She is also researching other promotional videos as an inspiration for the AHANA video. By November 21st they will have a rough draft script.
Brenda, Alex, and Pari: Allied Welness Co-Op
Brenda, Alex and Pari’s proposal is adequate. The students need to think one step further by breaking down when the logo, web design, website clickable, HTML/CSS, brochure draft dates. Their proposal will need to be rechecked next session. The students communicated with Susan, the non-profit coordinator, and set up a date to meet next ITA session on November 21st. Pari and Brenda also read through documents about the organization’s mission statement and purpose. From this information, they made a basic map of the category of links.
Williams: MEDiC/ITA design work
Williams proposal needed some work at first, but mainly this was because he was unsure what his official responsibilities would be for the project. Especially since some things are still unclear with him in regards to what he'll be doing. One of his assignments due in two weeks (hopefully done in the first), is to establish some official communication with people in ITA and MEDiC who can specify his role working for them. In addition, his assignment is to create three new ITA logos and three new MEDiC logos.
Mr. Tenzin: ACT game in Flash
Tenzin's proposal was a little thin in content, but again I believe this was because he was unsure of his official role with the Capstone. Now that it has been established that he wants to develop a game in Flash to help with ACT vocabulary, he is looking at using the "Memory Game" theme with ACT vocabulary. I stressed that he definitely needs to come up with some variation that will make the game his own, not just mirroring a memory game with flashcards. Therefore, I asked Tenzin to make up a mock playable demo in two weeks. In addition, I asked that he look for some educational flash games online to play, and briefly list things that did or did not work with those games.
Tenzin: SFT website
Tenzin's proposal was very solid, so therefore there was not a lot of need for revision. She has remained in active communication with the group based in Madison, and is going to speak with them soon about what they want their website to look like. With that said, I assigned her to use those suggestions for the website from SFT to make a mock website, and to be prepared to explain the rationale behind her layout design.
Pa Ying: ITA Yearbook
Pa Ying's progress on the yearbook has been a little slow, but she picked up the pace this session by snapping photos of 2 of the 4 classes in ITA. She has a general idea of the yearbook, but now she has a ton of content to go with which she will need to edit using Photoshop. I asked that by next time, she come forward with finished photos from at least one class in addition to making up a mock yearbook and to be ready to explain her rational behind the layout design.
