V. Strengths of the Project: Web site design, context and linking to relevant sources, teamwork, reliable team members.
VI. Weaknesses of the Project: Original content and reporting, flow. Technical know-how for all group members.
VII. Lessons Learned: Communication is key when creating a group multi-media package. Our group had solid communication, which helped us complete the project successfully.
There were some skills we didn't have, and that made it hard to create certain sections of the project (Jordan would have liked to create the timeline from scratch using Flash). So the lesson learned is to know your skills and limitations before you start designing your content. And get coffee. Lots of it.
Kyle thinks it might have been interesting to do this entire project without any written reporting. Try to tell the story without the use of written word would place an extreme emphasis on using multimedia to convey meaning.
