This week our group completed and finalized the Project Plan and Schedule.  Hunter was supposed to have interviewed Terrance McNeil on Wednesday, however after finding out that we were still doing assignments building up to the Client and Audience Analysis we may need to meet back up and re-do the questionaire.  One thing I’m not sure about is if the Client and Audience Analysis that Hunter through together meets the requirements of 8-12 pages.  We may be meeting this weekend to go over it and finish putting it together, as well as setting up another interview with Mr. McNeil.  I missed class on Thursday and have yet to hear back from anyone in the group regarding this.

In class on Tuesday (Sept.23), we had a lecture about Personas and Scenarios including doing a worksheet that was due at the end of class on Thursday (Sept. 25).  The worksheet consisted of  creating lifelike personas of each group of our intended audience.  We determined who would create which persona as well as coming up with names of each and tasks that each persona may be using the website for.

On Thursday (Sept. 25) there was no lecture.  We had an In Class Activity completing a Heuristic Evaluation of Apalachee Ridge’s current website and similar websites.  The evaluation was based on the navigational structure and usibility of the current site, as well as a screen shot and quick questionaire of a similar website from another organization.  The benchmarked site was intended to show similarities in what we would like the new site to resemble (i.e. ideas from that site to improve the current Apalachee site).
