  7. Editing • Editing was a collaborative effort • Design editing • Links and navigation • Textual editing • Syntax, spelling, typos • Formatting (poetry)

  8. Group Communication • Used a class wiki • Uploaded files, posted updates • A streamlined, organized manner of patchworking our group roles together functionally • Required frequent usage outside of classroom

  9. Usability Testing • Our group learning moment • Offered revisions, spotted problems we were oblivious to • Provided various, external perspectives • A potential reader • A potential contributor and consumer • Without usability testing, the quality of the final product would have been negatively impacted

  10. Usability Recommendations • Poetry needs to be left justified, but centered in the page. • Prose needs to be resized to create larger margins and to avoid the need to scroll from left to right. • Somehow, we need to make the links on the homepage more legible for those with poorer eyesight • Similarly, the textual links in the “Cousin, Will You Take My Hand?” poem need to become more readable. • The photograph on the About page needs to be resized to eliminate the need to scroll left to right. • The Jason Godeke author biography blurb needs to be added.
