## Confirm that all the semantic functions work, eg. semantic drilldown etc
# Create a landing/homepage for the EWB which automatically shows projects (similar to [[Portal:Medical Devices]])

Revision as of 11:15, 27 January 2015

The EWB Challenge[] is a design program for first year engineering students. Appropedia is partnering with EWB Australia to provide an online home for the project descriptions.

Appropedia offers:

  • Content hosting, including categorisation and filtering.
  • Easy input tools.

EWB offers:

  • Financial partnership for site development.

We work together on:

  • Awareness-raising,
  • Getting students using the tools.

Actions

  • Chris to collate documentation from previous developer, and place it here.
    • email tag: "EWB Challenge"


Steps

Prerequisites:

  • Mediawiki upgrade? (Patch current level first?)

Development:

  1. Analyse the data pertaining to the EWB projects and come up with an ontology/data structure to represent them. There will probably be several iterations of this.
  2. Create a form to allow data input by EWB students. We predict multiple drafts/iterations of this, and continued revision based on improving understanding of the data (as above).
  3. Develop supporting documentation including:
    1. "About this project" (linked from a template that appears on each individual project page)
    2. Help for students adding a project (filling in the form, wiki editing, etc)
    3. Help for teachers/classroom materials (possibly including a screencast/video)
    4. Confirm that all the semantic functions work, eg. semantic drilldown etc
  4. Create a landing/homepage for the EWB which automatically shows projects (similar to Portal:Medical Devices)
  5. Beta test with EWB students -- Chris with EWB representative could visit a classroom at Melbourne Uni or other suitable/local institution and work through it with them, see if there are any problems, etc. This may lead to revisions of the form and/or documentation.


Communication:

  • Give EWB an update on our timeline, with estimated dates for deliverables. (Discuss, then Chris to contact).
