15/5 Week Thirteen

This 15/5 will be short and sweet as I am fighting the stomach flu.

On Thursday, we worked on putting together all the interactions we've been programming. It was slow at first, but I think we've got a good system down now. We met on Sunday for several hours and continued putting everything together. Lindsay and I worked on the interactions, Audra worked on storyboards, and Cheryl and Amy worked on video and evaluation.

It was a productive meeting and we all left with more to accomplish:

• Amy is finishing edits on the evaluation report and working on illustrations
• Audra is completing the storyboards and flowcharts and revising her drag and drop interactions to fit the new templates we created
• Lindsay and I are trying to complete programming of all modules
• Cheryl is working on lowering the audio for all video clips and recording voiceovers for the modules

We received approval from Dr. Schell on the hardware/software specs, the learner profile, and the screen specs/treatment rationale (I'm still waiting on the attachment with his signature page, but he and Alissa both reviewed and approved the document).

I think we are feeling better about things at this point. We are starting to have a solid product, now it's all troubleshooting to make sure all the bits and pieces work! I'm afraid we haven't had much work for our consultants yet, and we're running out of time, but we're just having to work efficiently at this point and it's easier to do some things ourselves than to write out an explanation for someone else. We will have some proofreading and editing tasks very soon so maybe we can squeeze it in before the deadline.

Okay, off to nurse my flu. I will hopefully be in class tomorrow!
