Update on Team Roles

Megan is still working very hard for us on formatting the website.

The rest of the team is focussing on website design, usability testing and discussing a key impact for the website all of which are polishing up our focus on the rhetorical situation with our audience in hopes to make a difference.

Everyone is doing well.

We all are gathering our own focus groups and we will collect information and make changes as needed and we hope to all participate in a few testimonies from our focus groups and incorporate those into the web site to make Fish Tank be more interactive.

Time-for completing the project:

We have finished compiling data and organizing onto the web page.

We hope to have usability testing done by at least five freshmen by the end of next week, October 17.

Next we will focus on editing the page to meet the rhetorical situation of our audience, this will include editing and making it speak to the freshmen. This should also be done by October 17.

For the week of October 20th, we will focus on the changes brought to our attention from the usability testing and our peer critiques.

For the week of October polishing the website and it should be ready before Nov 1 with all audience analysis issues addressed and all usability issues addressed along with all other technical problems with the page.

Hopefully we will be able to submit it for the Nov 1. deadline and get tons of feedback from freshmen as we launch it on Tech Announce as our mode of getting it out there.

Then we will make the changes needed and edit the page in hopes to finish before the deadline of Nov. 20th.

We hope to be finished between Nov. 7th-11th.

Optimistic but we it seems plausible.
