Work in progress

The work in progress presentation I presented today-extention, I will upload and add as a link soon. It was a tough presentation, I was so fatiqued and totally lost my focus beforehand, so it didn't start well, well it didnt have a good middle too, I was very disappointed.

Vicky had concerns over how I would make money from the project and user testing the project . The first one I wasn't expecting and the later one I knew would come up but didn't have a good enough answer to, as I didnt have the resources to do the user testing I wanted to do.

I plan to complete the verson 1 of the online mag, a prototype, so then I can test it with 7-11 year olds and promote to possible sponsors. Something workable and visible is needed to do both of these.

Though I take on a couple of vickys suggestions adding a php questionnaire on the quality of the online magazine to be answered by readers, to get feedback whether good or bad, really like this, I didn't think to include, Ill include it with the developers work and getting a teacher on board straight away to advise on the project, I was going to leave it till later as I think i will have problems later on, testing once uploaded, evaluating, putting the project together to hand in, but vicky strongly adviced against it, I think it would be wise to take the advice, especially as shes marking the work, It would be idiotic to ignore any advice.

Once I get a teacher to work with I will go through the project, theres many faults I can see, and need to find solutions or work on but also I need to know the strengths so I can back them up. I had julie samuals in mind since the start as she was the module leader for design for learning so I know she has knowledge of designing educational projects. I've emailed Julie, because its the second semester I don't know whether she has to many students on her list, I hope not, Just wait for a response. It would be good for some further advice.

I will post again on the issue of money further, I need to de bug my head, its quite late, but I want to cover the avenues I thought and didnt think about in regards to making money to sustain the project on a longterm and future plans.
