How does a website communicate information?
- organization by pages rather than by paragraphs
- reader/user can skip to the part of interest — which means that self-referentiality has to be integrated throughout
- should be easy to find your way through
- limited amount of space — information should be conveyed in a shorter format
- author as character (in case of blogs)
- thesis statement — title, homepage — gives purpose
- name of blog and URL can cause confusion if different
- “evidence” and “analysis” contained to each page/post
- could each blog post be evidence/analysis
- could comments be considered analysis?
- what is the purpose? thinking in terms of audience — is the audience the class? or a public?
- right now, it privileges student ability to find course information, rather than featuring student work
- can there be additional incentive to post/comment?
- more interactivity?
- homepage could feature student work
- or glossary on homepage
- can we make blog posts connect in some way? structure blog posts as debate — have a whole debate page?
- can there be a reminder part to the page?
