Thursday 22nd May 2008

Just a reminder that all scheduled workshops for Thursday have been canceled!

The program for Thursday will thus be:

  • 9:30am - 10:00am: Group Meeting/Briefing (all students)
  • 12:30pm - 1:00pm: Team Meeting
  • 1:00pm - 1:45pm: Lunch

  • 10am - 5pm: Those involved in the Re-design Project will work on the projects - NOTE: Each group is expected to present their Proposal and Mockup to Genie tomorrow - which implies that both items must be complete tomorrow. As a result Genie's Feasibility workshop will also be postponed.
  • 10am - 5pm: Those NOT involved in the Re-design Project will work on their own projects/work
Please note:

At some point during the day I would like to spend an hour or two in an Open Forum with the continuing students from last year. The topic of discussion is totally open, so we can discuss/clarify anything that you feel needs discussion/clarification. Depending on availability this will take place in one of the call-off rooms.

I would like to spend the remainder of the day free to assist individuals/groups with their own/project work. If you feel you have nothing to do then I would assume you are a Web Guru and can answer any random web related question I can throw at you (!); however, if you need some guidance in what to do I might suggest:

  1. Have you completed all of the HTML and CSS Challenges? http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/HTML_Challenges and http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/CSS_challenges

  2. Have you installed XAMPP on your thumbdrive, and commenced any of the PHP Challenges (if you are doing beginners/advanced programming on Thursdays)? http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/PHP_challenges

  3. Is all of the work you have completed to date in order and ready for presentation as evidence of your completing the modules?

  4. Is all of your Multimedia modules work up to date?

  5. Is all of your Client Interaction modules work up to date?

  6. If you are involved in the Small Web Project, are you up to date with both Client Interaction and Technical requirements?

  7. Have you read all of the Further Reading items posted on the Blog to date? If not it might be a good time to catch up on that - keeping in mind that reading is only half of learning ie: don't forget to try out any of the techniques or approached that may be discussed in the reading list. Setting up demo/test pages that illustrate certain techniques can also be added to your evidence!! Better still, applying any/all of those techniques in a website you are working on (ie: a 'real live' implementation) will constitute higher weighted evidence.

See you all on Thursday!
