Drop-dead date is May 12.</li> <li>Must be instructionally sound</li> <li>High need for consistent look and feel</li> <li>Must include directory path and naming conventions for support documents</li> <li>Should follow accessible "instructional design field" methods for citations and references</li> <li>Possible minimum/maximum lengths <ul> <li>If you advocate this as an instructionally-based requirement, please provide references to supporting research.</li> <li>If you advocate this as a technically-based requirement, please provide rationale.</li> </ul></li> <li>Anything else?</li> </ul> <p>Susan and John are checking through the survey to make sure all criteria have been identified. In looking at the list today, I realize I forgot to include the criteria for our target audience.</p> [<a href="#heading_list_03_22_06">Back to heading list</a>] <h2 id="h2_03_22_06">Using Levels as Part of Our Solution</h2> <p>Remember, you can define levels of completion. In other words, completion level 1 must be achieved in order to have a deliverable for the project. Other levels can be attempted if there is time before the final project deadline. Here is an example:</p> <ul> <li>Completion level 1 - Word doc with styles correctly marked and basic style sheet; support material self-contained</li> <li>Completion level 2 - more elaborate style sheet for Word</li> <li>Completion level 3 - HTML with basic CSS; support material self-contained</li> <li>Completion level 4 - more elaborate CSS for HTML</li> <li>Completion level 5 - support material integrated into HTML document structure</li> </ul> <p>This can be one way to mitigate risk in some projects.</p> [<a href="#heading_list_03_22_06">Back to heading list</a>] <h2 id="h3_03_22_06">The Assignment</h2> <p>Within your groups, come up with at least one solution that addresses our criteria.</p> <ul> <li>Send the solutions to me and I will email them to everyone.</li> <li>This will give people a chance to incorporate other ideas into their own solution.</li> <li>We have until next Tuesday.</li> <li>Next Tuesday (March 28), we will meet at 6:30 PM EST to discuss the solutions.</li> </ul> [<a href="#heading_list_03_22_06">Back to heading list</a>] eLearning Concepts and Techniques - Spring 2006 Finding Solutions Group Assignments Wed, 22 Mar 2006 17:21:00 -0500 http://iit.bloomu.edu/pam/blog/index.cfm/2006/3/22/Criteria-for-Our-Project-Solution
