Individual Activity Report (Week 5)

breal — Mon, 04 May 2009 04:29:47 +0000

The final week of this project began with reviewing the instructor’s feedback. I spent some time reading over what Nathaniel had to say and then looked over our white paper. When we turned in the document, we knew we still had a lot of work to do and the feedback we received added a few more items to the list.

Individual Activity Report (Week 4)

For this week’s deliverable, I spent most of my time gathering relevant information for my part of the rough draft. At the beginning of the week we got together on AIM to discuss the objectives for our rough draft. I chose to write about the OpenText ECM Suite. I scrolled through my list of credible sources and collected any information and visuals I thought would work well in the white paper. As I wrote my section, I tried to envision the visuals into the writing. This created a problem, however, since our group had yet to come to a decision on a final format for the document.

Individual Activity Report (Week 3)

This previous week was a tough week as a group. I attempted to get a group meeting scheduled, but none of us were able to meet up at the same time. All of our discussion occurred through email and in our Google Group.

This week proved to be very difficult for us to find time to discuss our white paper. We were all busy (and free) at the wrong times, with either our work schedules or classes (and other projects) interfering basically every night. However, we were still able to communicate thru email and our Google Groups group.

To continue my research, I will be gathering information from OpenText.

My main focus for our white paper project will be focusing on the needs of our audiences. I will be looking for any and all information that each audience needs to know. I will be researching what all the audience will be using in the platform/software and present the relevant data in the document. But before I begin researching for our audiences, I must research SharePoint and the other platforms for myself first.

Conservation Ethics: Save the Monarch Butterflies

breal — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:53:13 +0000

This week’s reading response covered ethics: personal, social and conservation. Each system can work together to help create a peaceful and proper society. However, in some cases one system will overlap another and create problems on which to follow.

Individual Activity Report (Week 2)

breal — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:42:32 +0000

This weeks activities included improving our proposal, creating a Gantt chart and beginning research on SharePoint and its competitors. After receiving feedback about our proposal we have decided to focus our main audience to smaller fresh companies. During the next week I will begin researching our main audience to learn what they need to know about SharePoint.
