Our
prototype site was designed to answer the following questions:
How can we provide a collected arrangement of pages that:
There are three levels to the organization of this project (see the chart below):
Ideally, the Site Level and Evaluation Page(s) Level would provide an electronic form in which others could contribute their sites and evaluations. Instead, we provided email links to the web designer who, at this point, would have to update the information manually.
Finally, this site provides a distributed model of website management that could be useful in a school district. The Web Manager (in our case, Buck Jones) would have the responsibility to have a common "look and feel" across the "district" pages. In our group, this was accomplished by consensus. At the next level would be the Web Designers (in our case, Paul Pasko, Kelly Terwilliger, Ellen O'Malley, and Mari Cummings), who would have the responsibility to assure consistency at the "school building(s)."
Reflection: The collaboration worked well, however, we found that as we got further along in the project it became harder to make changes. That is, once someone had a "better way" of doing something, this required everyone to make the changes in ALL the pages. At some point (the day before the project was due!) we called a halt to any design changes. This reminds me of the adage: "measure twice, cut once!" The project was a good experience for all and allowed everyone, regardless of their level of expertise, to benefit and contribute to the project. We hope you find it worthwhile!
