Hi guys, well, things are getting slower to the end.....let's push hard!
Here is the suggested order for the presentation:
1) Juan - Introduction and User requirements (How we found them and how we got the final outcome) I will use powerpoint.
2) Jo - Explain the Design Process (will You use screenshots or powerpoint?)
3) Zun - Show the final prototype (Using navigation through the actual website)
The presentation is about 15 mins. so that will give us about 5 mins for each of us to explain our part.
Finally, bring all the physical material (sketches, forms, questionnaires, etc.) that we have so we can show the progress of our project to them.

Mail from Bonni
I think your section headings will be fine...
4. Design.... I would suggest you talk about what fails in the current design of career hub, which , if any, designers influenced the new interface your group has put together, and include some screenshots of the stages you went through and the final selection, with some justification as to why your group settled on it.
4.1 Storyboard.... Ok so i've made no secret that I'm a BIG fan of (Plasq) Comic Life, it allows you to bring pics ( real and photoshopped) in give speech bubbles that are easily identifiable as to whom is speaking and the ability to has a narrator like commentary is gre! at, (it c on the uni machines, but it is available as a 30 day trial from plasq' website for both Mac and PC. if you have something like this in your document then you would only need a couple of paragraphs to complete the section
4.2 Flow Chart... again there is heaps of soft ware around that would allow you to create a diagram of how your site would work. A flow chart is in effect a site map with a little more detail, creating an image that shows this will then allow you to describe the new and improved functions your group has designed. I find doing it this way allows me to talk about the image and thus not forget any important bits.
4.4 Content Review & 7 Reflection are going to be very similar... they basically allow you to expand on some of the major components of the project, so in each of the above sections you need to describe everything that happened, in these sections you can take the big points! of each y about them, and what you would do differently if you were to do it all again...

good luck Jo... and write a draft and bring it to class we can have a rad and maybe provide more specific help then
Marie, Dekker, do you guys have anything to add or to change if i have the preverbal bull by the horns..

What we need
Hi guys...
here's what i have find out about design document .....
first 2 things i think we had it....the storyboard i did for each presentation...
so Q is ....any update on storyboard i should do?!
another Q is....anything else we could add...???
so far i will be doing the web research of social networking
Design Document!--------
1. Intro
2. Storyboard- documents all the technology and design for our project- 10 pg?!
-------------storyboard
-------------technology report on each page --- write it next to graph....?!
3. A flow chart of the navigational pathway- 2 page will do!?
4. resource
5. content review
system design
user interface design
non-functionali requirements like performance..
languages ..etc
6. Research/reflection on social networking...6-8 pages?!!----BIG DEAL FOR ME AND JUAN
7. prototype- could be a non working one...just a tour ....use html...flash....director...anything....BIG FOR ZUN
8. evaluation and testing methodologies
testing and evluation procedures
and how they will be implemented..
9. Conclusion
I guess its a pretty nice plan...Normally the design docs, min is 40 pages...
is 20 pages enough though???....thats a lot!
we got really good mark for the project plan! NICE 9/10!!!....its sad its only 10 %

From research papers...
Web2.0 represents:
- progression of existing web services with added value.
- mature implementation of web applications.
- community and collaboration based.
"[web2.0] reuses, combines and merges existing services into more attractive applications."
(Suzanne Boll, 2007)
Social networking sites have become a ubiquitous part of the culture.
(Esther Rosenfeld, 2008)
Recent work on peer-to-peer overlay networks offers a scalable,
self-organizing, fault-tolerant substrate for decentralized
distributed applications.
(Miguel Castro, Peter Druschel, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, and Antony I. T. Rowstron, 2002)
"In particular, we find that the links
to related videos generated by uploaders’ choices have clear
small-world characteristics. This indicates that the videos have
strong correlations with each other, and creates opportunities for
developing novel techniques to enhance the service quality."
"We suggested that the social
networks presented among YouTube videos can be explored
to enhance the scalability and QoS of YouTube."
(Xu Cheng, Cameron Dale, Jiangchuan Liu, 2008)
ps. Sorry Juan I thought these were posted during class time before I just realised blogger never posted it, it just saved as draft...
