You may remember my recent post about developing research and ideas for mine and Emma’s project.

Well I have finally gotten round to typing up the whole cafuffle that is.. the ideas from my peers.

Which to be honest, is VERY useful – as they are my target audience.

So anyway, our project is split into four marking criteria which have been challenged with three ideas for each section. I am going to respond to these/ consider these each in turn and hopefully it will set down the groundwork for a highly successful project.

So this is how it looks:

A website about Birmingham, for the students of Birmingham, reviewing and suggesting various places of interest.

-       Application of research and editorial skills

  1. Survey BCU, Aston and Brum University students for interests
  2. Research/ Co-operation with Town Hall and NUS for local student based events
  3. Advertising on website, student deals etc.

-       Management of the process

  1. Time Keeping
  2. Setting and Meeting Deadlines
  3. Dealing with outside sources

-       Understanding with professional context

  1. If similar sites exist, what areas are they not addressing?
  2. How will you create awareness of the site?
  3. Will you have to pay people to create content for the site?

-       Flair and creativity

  1. If it’s for students will to be places of interests generally or best areas to go out, best or cheapest places to shop?
  2. Will the site feature images and information? Or maybe video as well?
  3. Maybe document it in the style of a countdown? Create a survey for comments.

 

The bold title at the top is the statement I wrote in order to give an insight into what the project was about. With a cap at writing only one sentance I found it difficult to summarise our project. I think logistically, I really need to think about and try and define what our porject wants to do.

The Bold headings are the individual marking criteria of the project and the bullet points underneath are the areas that my colleagues feel need to be addressed or are an important aspect of my project.

This was a really useful task as it allowed me to consider things that I perhaps hadn’t thought of before.

Next step: Come up with a distinct definition and explanation of aims.

Stage 2: Respond to peer critique

Stage 3: LOGO!
