Vision Documents
Individual Vision Documents
Let’s go around the room and present our revised individual Vision Documents.
Group Vision Documents
Exercise
Let’s break up into our teams and create a unified Vision Document for each team.
Be sure to include:
- A team member list, along with specific roles
- A description of the general project concept
- A description of your target audience(s) and how your concept will help overcome specific hurdles to accessing and understanding the exhibits you’re addressing; i.e. a timeline helps clarify the chronology of events and how different items relate to each other, an interactive map does the same in the spatial dimension, a gamified tour helps teachers motivate students to visit more exhibits and engage with them more deeply
- Identify and justify your technology and architecture choices
Team Project Pages
Let’s create team pages on the blog for you to post your Vision Documents and project artifacts over the remainder of the semester.
