Update

The pool has been updated with version 2.0 of the approach and now has a link to the functioning website in its infant stages. I plan on adding pages over break as well as updating my text based proposal.

Presentations

On Monday of this week we presented to the faculty and class our projects before going away on Christmas break. I presented on my new website idea and showed of the site in its early stages and featured a powerpoint presentation to go with it.

Note

On a side note I still plan on making improvements to my original idea of creating a heating device that works with the users keyboard. I will post blueprints and design specifications on this new site and plan to see where I can push this idea as well throughout second semester.

Updated Idea Generated

I've come out with change to my project from its original idea. I've done plenty as far as the research aspect of carpal tunnel goes and I'm planning on creating an ergo workstation all in one help site. I've invisioned users being able to log in a take a multiple choice test that scores them on various aspects of computer workstation useage and grades them based apon the results. When the user is finished the site will direct them towards an interactive and fact generated tutorial on how they can improve that particular aspect of workstation safety that is flawed. I also would like to have a forums posting section where people can leave posts on topics they are interested in and people will be able to respond. There will be an information section of C.T. and R.S.I. as well links to products and sites were people can recieve additional help. I've invisioned this site as being an all in one inclusive site where computer users alike can recieve valuable information on improvements in ergonomics and workstation safe care. More to come...

Computer Free Capstone Post

I think that when preparing your capstone project during the final stages of its development, it does help to have these common forms of media, such as: websites, slideshows, videos, etc. Although not having these tools to help get your project's word out, doesn't mean that you can't do other things to help get it attention.

For example, concerning my project, I could go into the field (office workplace environments) and conduct surveys of computer users who work extensively with word processing or any other hands on positions and ask them what they think of my project. Do you see yourself using a product like this? What aspects of this project do you prefer and what could be improved? These would all be valid questions you could ask to these people. With their help you could not only get the word out about your idea but you would also to be able to find out valuable information from the people that would most likely be using your product in the future.
