Digital Documentary Revision / Addition

After thinking about additions and revisions to my digital documentary before the rough draft is due, I have come up with  couple additions to my page and the main blog. On the main blog, I believe I will put our original proposal with corrections on the blog, and have a mini description or summary of the proposal as a separate tab. I will also suggest adding links to our blogs on the about page. Personally, I want to see if I could make the blog slightly more visually appealing. Sadly, we could not pull off a group picture on Monday, but we will try to make one within this week so we can give the blog a human aspect  As for my part specifically I need to add some additional information and images. I will probably add in some more pictures of the buildings and the people I interviewed. Most of the pictures added will be the Davis Marksbury Building. I still need to add at least two more interviews and I hope I can either get it this week or the last two days before Thanksgiving Break. I will probably add the ethnography I took of the Davis Marksbury Building and a have a link to my descriptive web-text.  Another addition I want to add to this blog is an creative piece on how I think the College of Engineering will look in 10-20 years. Within this post I want to describe the inside of a future classroom. I also want to maybe research further into possible new majors, and the needs the college needs to incorporate. I am still debating this, but the way the information is presented on my part are some larger paragraphs, and I am trying to figure out how to space it out and make it easier to read.

Progress Post

As a group so far, I believe we are on track and heading toward the finished product in a timely manner. For myself specifically I have done an ethnography of the Davis Marksbury Building and researched the different technologies that encompasses the building. I am currently in the process of collecting interviews, in fact I have one schedule tomorrow with an Associate Dean. My goal is to get at least 3 interviews from deans and professors. Within these 3 plus interviews I will be contacting heads of the several different departments in the College of Engineering to get several different perspectives. Along with those interviews, I’m trying to decide whether or not I would like to maybe interview students or survey people on how they think the College of Engineering will be headed in the next couple years and in the future. After doing the Artifact presentation, I have a more general understanding of where I am headed toward. I still need to locate some more additional information on funding and possible projects. If there are no proposed projects, I should be able to generate a theoretical projects based off data I have collected. Another part of my research is the Top 20 Plan, as of now I have read through a couple of the documents and collected data on the accomplishments of the plan so far. I may also contact the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and maybe try to get an interview so I can receive a more personal insight of the Top 20 Plan.  As a group we have already discussed on how we are creating this website. We should be meeting in the next couple days or this weekend to create the draft for this project. Most likely today right before class we will decide when we will meet. We also have decided to create a WordPress Blog where each one of us will add things to it and then review it as a group.
