Brief

Brief

Due:
November 16

Working with a partner from Purdue design/write a website about one of the issues that we have covered this semester.

This site should be a collection of resource material for someone in your position (either as a student or as a working professional) who wishes to know more about the subject.

You have two challenges in this brief.

  1. You and your partner can only work in cyberspace. No telephone calls, no face to face meetings to discuss this.
  2. Make this more interesting than just a 'page of links'.

You don't have to spend a lot of time designing this... and if you are smart (and I think that most of you are!) Staffordshire students should be working on the general issue that you are covering in your research paper.

This website is not going to be marked on 'how pretty it is' but rather on 'how useful is it'. In other words, concentrate on organization, structure, navigation, and most importantly giving the user some information other than just a URL. Design is critical but keep in mind that design is not just about making pretty images.

*Note: it is STRONGLY suggested that where possible the teams are composed of a Staffordshire MA Interactive Multimedia student, a Staffordshire MA E-Business student and a Purdue Student for this project. Each of you has the skills that when combined will make this project a success.
