I along with the other members of the documents and testing group accomplished a great deal this week. Our goal for the week was to have the design plan laid out in the six rhetorical elements, create a testing plan, and start on the change document which was completed.

Monday, November 10:
Our group worked on creating a general purpose of the website and what the target audiences of the website were going to be. There are four target audiences: job seekers, volunteers, donors, and board of directors. Since there are four people in our group, we each took on the responsibility of creating a purpose one of the specific audiences. I chose do work with the donors. The ultimate goal of the website for this audience is to allow them to make contributions to the organization online utilizing PayPal. Our group also brainstormed on ideas for the testing plan and change document. I made my additions to the design plan document on GoogleDocs before the class on Wednesday.

Wednesday, November 12:
Our group went on the discussing the strategies, arrangement, and context of each of the four audiences. I then went back to the design plan document on GoogleDocs and made changes to my original paragraph of audience and purpose. Then I added information about the context, strategies, and arrangement for the website to cater to the donations portion. The group also went into a detailed discussion about the testing plan. We had each group member create a survey for their specific testing group on a form in GoogleDocs. I created a 5 question survey for the testing group that will be focusing on the donations part of the site. The questions entail how the tester feels about donating money online, the security of the website and PayPal, and the navigation of the website. I completed my portion of the document editing and form creation by Friday.

Friday, November 14:
Our group looked at each of the surveys that we created and made minor changes to question wording. We also talked about design plan editing, creating testing groups, and an outline for the change document. My portion of the design plan in drafted, but I do need to make changes before Monday. We listed all of the items that we need to include into the change document. This is something that will be covered more next week. We also discussed having a tutorial for the board of directors that shows them how to upload or remove documents to their private page and how to change their password for login. I also will come up with five to ten people to have test the running website that will be focusing on donations by Monday.
