Group+5+-+VCE

=Group5 VCE: Out 3 Collaborative work:= Design a solution for a Client - P282-283 Due Friday 31st October toc

Geelong high school is becoming a global school that teaches various things all around the world. Although a very successful school they are experiencing problems whilst dealing with their rapidly spreading co-education program. As the need for the school to become more globally aware grows, their current system of blog articles and emails is not working efficiently or effectively enough which not only is affecting the school but their overseas counter parts. This is affecting Geelong high schools popularity all around the world. The problem is also affecting the core of the Geelong high school IT staff because it is very frustrating for them knowing that they are doing their best and not helping with the situation due to it being so time consuming.

Analyse your problem
 A.)  The factors affecting the problem that Geelong high school are experiencing would include such things as the quality of the site they are using for blogging, the speed of their internet, they may be under staffed or have in experienced staff due to them being a public school, Their internet server may not be as globally networked as others which would slow things down and also the students may not be putting enough effort into their blog articles which would make it harder for the IT teachers to read over and approve for publishing.  B.)    Needs for Client   needs for Users ·  Sending E-mails ·  Receiving E-mails ·  Talking to other teachers around the world  || ·   Posting Blog articles ·  Reading previously posted blog articles ·  Sending E-mails ·  Receiving E-mails ·  Communicating with students around the world  ||  C.)  <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The product that we will produce to meet the clients and users needs will be a fast, easy to follow, effective webpage that students at Geelong high school and all around the world will be able to visit in order to make simple blog entries that will require no proof reading by teachers. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial"> D.)   <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The input data that I will have to enter into our webpage will include text about Geelong high school and I will need to place in various parts of the site places where students at a later date will be able to enter things they want to say whether it be about themselves or about an assignment. The site will also require hyperlinks to things like the GHS home page and links to E-mail, also to other sites about other schools around the world. The site may also include some facts and figures about Geelong high.

Evaluation
will link to right place || speed=quick link=right place || no problems || survey page=survey || should provide appropriate feedback || unsure cause no one has filled it out yet || otherwise no problems || The evaluation took place like 12 hours after the implementation took place. We evaluated the site by using the following table which can be seen above. in order to fully evaluate we made a survey so we can aquire feedback and improve the site. Otherwise we just used the criteria above in the table to evaluate the website to the best of our ability. Whilst making and evaluating the solution we tried, to the best of our ability, to use all formats and conventions listed at the bottom of the page.

Report
Our team which consisted of Guild and peter worked excellently together. they finished things in a constructive manner which was always done to the best of their ability and was continously handed in on time. The wikispace was filled out by both members and was filled out on time. "at the end of every period atleast one of us would fill out our progress report and make sure the space was all good" said Daniel. This, in turn, made groud 5 - VCE the best group in the class. For their efforts they desserve not only their own marks but all marks, although small, that the rest of the class get!!! This group should be automatically given an A+ for the exam because the exam is not worthy of their excellence!! This group worked Collaboratively together!
