This assignment is an exercise in team production of an instructional text. You will work in teams of 3-4 and adopt production roles based on interests and\/or skill sets. You will collaboratively design a Lego object, write instructions, design a multimedia instructional website (wiki or website), conduct usability testing, and revise accordingly. This entire sequence will take approximately 4-5 weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n Design<\/b>:<\/p>\n Writing<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Visuals<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n – Landing page<\/b>.\u00a0This should introduce your product (perhaps including a photograph or drawing of the completed object) and instructions. Have fun here.<\/span><\/p>\n – Team Intro\/Bio<\/b>.\u00a0This should include a listing of all group members and their functions, similar to what you created at the beginning of the course with the bios.<\/p>\n – Sidebar<\/b>.\u00a0Your instructions should be simple and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n – Body Text<\/b>.\u00a0This is where the actual instructions go.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Letter of Transmission<\/b>. On the due date, you\u00a0will send an\u00a0email to me that includes:<\/p>\n -An introduction to your project.\u00a0(If you’re confused on the purpose and format of such a letter, take a look in Anderson.)\u00a0Discuss design objectives and the process involved in creating your design\/instructions. Also summarize what you learned from your usability report and how certain decisions were negotiated within the group.<\/p>\n -A link to your instructions site<\/p>\n -Your usability report, attached as a pdf<\/p>\n 3. Team Evaluation Form<\/strong>. Assess your team’s work distribution by having each team member complete this form on Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n Usability reports are professionally-produced workplace documents. A successful report will demonstrate the multi-level document conventions we\u2019ve discussed throughout the semester. Pay close attention to producing solid, clean document design. We\u2019ll be taking a look at a report on the iPad<\/span><\/a>, in a week or two.<\/span><\/p>\n As with your other assignments, it should be as long as necessary to sufficiently cover the information at hand. Typically, this work takes at minimum<\/em>\u00a06-8\u00a0pages of single-spaced, solid text, and will frequently run significantly longer as you add in visuals and appendices. (Note that \u201cbare minimum\u201d does not frequently equal an A. However, adding in extraneous material solely to expand length will also not equal an A.) All text should be 12-pt, single-spaced paragraphs with double spaces between paragraphs. Pages should have one-inch margins.<\/span><\/p>\n Each report should contain the following elements:<\/span><\/p>\n 250 points (25% of grade) This assignment is an exercise in team production of an instructional text.
