Web Media Year 2 semester 1 update!


After a somewhat long summer vacation, the Web Media kids are back at Bahrain Polytechnic doing what they do best: attending!

This year, the Web Media degree kicks off with three main courses: English communication 3, this time with Ms. Jennifer Mcwatt; Audio and Video 1 with Owen Gallagher, and Content Management with Vasileios Paliktzoglou. 

The blog has been changed to be about web media related topics and courses and not just Game Design.  However, the aim this time is to reflect on the Content Management project "e-magazine" that I am currently undergoing along with my team (i-awesome) which includes: Dana, Maryam, Abbas, Fatima and my self. So here goes:

On the first week, Mr. V asked that each group assigns its own leader on a weekly basis. I was fortunate to be the first leader of the group, and I have attempted to organize and split the tasks among ourselves. We were to find information related to content management systems for next week with a scratch-the-surface approach, i.e, we weren't doing massive research, just basics.

On October 2,  following the end of the first week, we agreed on what was needed to be done and I had documented the tasks as evidence using edmodo:




















Even though I had created the cloud notebook for the group to share our findings, the group felt it wasn't necessary and that edmodo was enough, therefore it was revoked, but still up in the fluffy cloud, probably going to end as digital waste.


On October 6, we presented our short abstract for the e-magazine in Mr.V class. We had a short 3 page PowerPoint slideshow compliled by Maryam using resources gathered by other members



On October 8, following online discussion on today's meet http://todaysmeet.com/iAwesome
And in class meetings, I posted on edmodo stating the tasks to be done in order to prepare for the upcoming proposal presentation. At that point we hadn't decided on a name for the e magazine yet.
