This week was by far the busiest week of my entire college career.  I had several huge EET projects that all had to be finished.  I did get a lot of progress done on this project as well.  I finished my instruction draft and began to revise it.  We've been keeping up a constant email communication in the group to ensure that everyone is making the progress that we need.  We're a little behind but I think we should be able to meet the deadline of the project.

This is the revised study, I did the first one like the usability test from last project.

(Woops forgot to post this earlier)  The past week was very productive.  We had a few scheduled chats which led to forming the basis of our project.  We finished drafting the client contact email and sent it off to W9YB.  We recieved a message back from the president expressing his interest.  We also put together our proposal and divided up the team into individual tasks.  We've had great communication and participation and I think this will make our project a success.

Attached is my revised usability study.

Attached is my section of the usability test dealing with admin abilities on Dragonfly.

Here's an online copy, a copy was also emailed to you Kevin.

Our instructions are coming along nicely and on schedule.  We do need to do our usability test for a peer group either tonight of tuesday.  My portion of the instructions need to have a summary added to them since I plain forgot that I didn't have one.  Then we need to aggregate our instructions together and probably pick a format so that the whole document flows together well.  Finally we also need to integrate feedback from our test into our instructions.

I had a very productive week this week.  I finished up what was left of the instructions, and I proceaded to do a massive overhaul of the formatting.  When I had finished the instructions it looked like someone had just barfed words and pictures on a page.  I went back and eliminated some of the more conversational aspects and made discrete, bulleted points.  This made it much more professional.  I also made some conventions for bolding and italicizing so that users could find things easier.  Then Nate and I put our parts together for the draft.  I realized after reading the reading responses that I had completely neglected to include a summary.  I will certainly have to rectify that situation if I want people to know what they are getting into.

Another productive week for the team. I worked on the draft of the instructions, at least the first part of them. The rest will come over the break. We certainly will meet the minimum and most likely go over. We've had great communication and teamwork thus far and we should prove fairly successful at finishing the project. We also worked up a test of usability draft to show how to test our instructions. I hope that our instructions help someone out, I know that they could come in quite handy.

This is my part of the instructions so far, just the basics.  The next part is the difficult stuff.
