Hi, okay so we have been fairly flexible so far with directing you in your projects. But now is the time to really push yourselves on your project sites! We are down to the deadline. Next Tuesday = Your next presentation of your Creative Display (at least 3/4 complete). Then, the Thursday of week 10, we’ll have faculty, staff, and students from across campus joining us. You will want to be ready with a professional presentation for this public audience.
We have noticed a good amount of the project sites continue to be at the default title and tagline level. So for your assigned goals for this week (as in have this done by the end of the day Friday, February 26th):
1. If you have not done so, make sure your site title reflects your Final Project research and/or Creative Display title. Your site title should NOT be “Art Meets Science” or “AAD 199” by the end of the week.
2. Get rid of the Tagline “Just another University of Oregon Sites site”! Your site is not just another site. It is unique and awesome! So think about an unique and awesome Tagline.
To complete #1 and #2 above you need to go to your Dashboard and Settings and General, change the Title and Tagline here and Save.
3. Start making your project site Pages. What do we mean by this? By the end of the week, there should not be any “Sample” pages on your site. You should have fully actualized Pages in which you are adding your research and Creative Display information. How to do this? See Jacob’s and Cortelle’s beginning work on this: https://blogs.uoregon.edu/jarmasaad199/ and https://blogs.uoregon.edu/cortelleaad199/
Robert sent an email out with the subject line “AAD 199: Setting up Pages and Menus on your sites” for instructions about setting up your Pages and Menu.
BONUS Goal: After you set up your content Pages, begin add your content: research writing, Creative Display descriptions, overall project narrative (you have your introduction paragraph done from last week’s work session), images, videos, etc.
If it it helpful, plan out a timeline/schedule of completion for yourself.
