Project deliverable due this week

The Individual Project page lists deliverables for your semester-long project, and one of them is due this week: the Project Idea and Content Plan.

  • Worth 2 points toward your semester grade (2%).
  • Short text description — 50-100 words. Be concise!
  • Content plan: A list of pages — min. 3, can be tentative. (You'll firm up your plan in the site map deliverable.)
  • For each page, explain where you'll get your content — text, lists, images, video, etc., subject to change, with consideration of rights to reuse others' intellectual property (IP). See the Individual Project page for more information about what to include in the content plan.
  • Submit a text document (.docx, .txt, .pdf — not .pages to Blackboard.
  • Filename — all lower case, no spaces: [your project folder]/[your netid]-project-idea.html

This looks like a pretty small assignment — only 50-100 words of text with at least a tentative list of content elements on each — but it's intended to get you putting signifcant thought and planning into the start of your project. You aren't committing to any final outcome yet. This is a time for your best creative brainstorming to get yourself off to a good start toward an important and impressive portfolio piece. So take some time over the planning, as well as the writing and coding.
