15/5 Week Six

Our team meeting this week was extremely productive. We met with Greg and got some good feedback on our Needs Assessment and Scope documents. Amy is taking the lead on making those changes and we hope to have the documents turned into Greg sometime this week. We agreed to wait for Greg's feedback before getting feedback from our clients. This will reduce the number of drafts we have to show the clients before presenting a "final" document.

We then turned to our Task Analysis and Objectives documents. These documents are very important to the next phases of the project, and we spent a lot of time going over their details. Our client has provided us with LOTS of information about our lessons, which is great, but it's also already very structured. We had to remind ourselves this week that we are the instructional designers for the lesson module, and that we must use our own judgment when making decisions about how the lessons should flow and where information should be placed.

This week, we finished up the Task Analysis and Objectives docs, and started finalizing the Timeline. We should be able to finish the Timeline at Thursday's meeting and turn towards another big deadline: February 28. We divided up the drafts of the documents based on our roles (evaluator, designer, etc.) and hopefully everyone has started to work on their drafts.

We still haven't had any assignments for our 6200 consultants. We will definitely need to discuss assignments this week.

To Do:

• Finalize Timeline
• Get feedback from Greg on Objectives / Task Analysis
• Get client approval on Objectives / Task Analysis
• Discuss and give 6200 assignments
  
• Work on draft versions of User Analysis, Screen Design, Treatment Rationale, Hardware/Software and Eval Plan
