Chapter 12 & Chapter 15

Chapter 12
I really like the fact that this chapter broke down the Preproduction process, because like some of us, we need a little bit of help to be organized. The five tips are: Research the topic; create a master list of articles on the topic; divide articles into categories; identify and locate images; finalize the navigation and interface. Many of us underestimate the challenge of writing and developing an interactive media website and many other things. Because this case study is focused on the Harlem Renaissance, it is important to create a navigation that is in chronological order and to have a hierarchy.

Chapter 15
This chapter brings back many memories as I am a Certified Nursing Assistant. I was taken back by the many types of e-learning. I guess I didn't really know about these. I think it was kind of funny that the writer, Fred Bauer suggested that humor be included in the overall design because it can be effective. The case studies help us relate these issues and topics to our lives and what we know.

  1. hi shanin, very interesting post you have here. i didn't know you are a certified nursing assistant and that the Vital Signs project is kinda related to your background. whoa! yeah, the humor bit was pretty interesting. must be a bit of a challenge for writers to learn how and when to integrate such in an informational site to get the user/learner's interest.

    but i guess our own Caveman writer effectively trekked down that path!!! =)
