weekly homework task
activity-03-01
complete the task from the IST cd and post this reponse in your wiki. it is also expected that a hardcopy is handed up.
The planning, production and overall development of a project has six steps.
understanding the problem
making decisions
designing solutions
implementing the solution testing, maintaining and evaluating the product
If you do not know what is required to be completed to solve a problem, then the resultant solution is very unlikely to be correct. It is therefore, important that the task be understood. this may be done by asking questions of the potential participants of a solution.
Once that you decide upon the problem, then you need to decide on a solution. Probably thinking about one design only is not the best, create a few designs so that you can decide upon the best.
Once that you have decided upon a solution you may then commence to create a solution or product that will solve the problem. Make what is known as a prototype first. a prototype is a model or limited functioning product, to see if the solution is appropriate. a storyboard is also a sound design tool to develop a product, especially a video or audio product.
Once you have decided upon the solution, then make it. evaluation of the product is a continual process and should be completed through out the design and implementation process. maintainance will also be required to be carried out as the product is used.
You must complete portfolio 1, 2, 3 and 4. then complete portfolio 5 and 6 as the major assessment. The portfolio needs to be added into your wiki on the due dates set.
