My project progress has been rather slow. There have been major developments on the pedagogical side of project scaffolding, namely the development of a project outline, but there has been little in terms of technical development and the actual building of the site. Setting up the site is certainly the next step. I worry that it will take a lot of playing around with the site to get it to a functional place to host videos and other media, but I am sure there is support in place if/when I end up struggling. I feel as though having something to base the site off of would greatly reduce the amount of time I will inevitably spend dawdling over design and aesthetic choices, but I have yet to find a suitable model and seem to have struggled considerably finding relevant sites. I would certainly like to have a working, unpopulated version of the site within two to three weeks of coming back from fall break. With the pedagogical frameworks all set up and a significantly reduced outside workload on my part, this should be doable. I am cognizant that my drop-in shifts will also be divvied up as drop-in time for students in the Adaptations course to meet with me on top of routine trainings, but I really feel that a significant reduction in my other work should make progress on Vivero, whether it be time or attention, move faster. I am somewhat worried that students will ask me questions I don’t know the answers to, or that no students will show up to meet with me even as specified by the syllabus/Professor Lavan, but I recognize that there isn’t a whole lot I can do about this. I am excited that things are progressing toward the development of a site, though, knowing that I am someone who was previously hesitant to do more technical work.
