Notes from meeting with Sian, 16 July, Freemans

Issues to discuss:

• Structure, navigation and appearance of website
• Dropping sound element? It needs to be critical? Does it need to be justified/explained?
• Visual components: is my use of them sufficiently critical?
• Using hyperlinks sparingly and internally - is this OK?
• I want to explore idea that I can author/compose all the content
• In Lit Review I haven't talked about my approach to Multimodal assessment (summative, not feedback)
• Observational case study: crap title?
• Delay proposed August submission

Emerging ideas and agreed points:

• Rationale for representation works better than Rationale for dissemination
  
• Creative analytical practice - methodological - make reference to the literature. Take into account aesthetics. Sian will send a paper on about this.
• Do some testing of the site beforehand, with a view to navigation and whether things work
  
• In terms of how its navigated, I'll have opportunity to include Submission notes however these might go as a dedicated section on the front page of the website so that it works as a stand-alone artefact
  
• Look at Matthew Preston's assignment for ideas on personal narrative
  
• Linkage: my proposed use of hyperlinks doesn't add any value. I need to be think about this and be a bit more ambitious here. It's a nice idea though to link to sections within my own blog.
  
• Agreed that it wouldn't be in best interests to attempt to submit in August. Instead I'll aim for October with a view to having something ready ahead of the deadline for the Networked Learning Conference next year.
