> No > Yes - all Wiki activities are group - visualize us all sitting together, doing these. However, you organize is fine - divide and conquer to start, then everyone takes part to a certain date, then have to finalize what you have (to turn in). When you are done at the end of the week, you will have one Week 2 Wiki Activity document for me to grade. > See my explanation below > See my explanation below > See my explanation below
 * Jan 17 - questions from group phone meeting to Dr. Corritore per Jesse.**
 * is the design scenario the start of our project
 * Are these questions for week 2 a group assignment?
 * Please confirm that 1 and 3 are to be done as a team in the straight wiki format.
 * Please confirm 2 and 4 are viewed as being completed in the straight wiki format as a collaboration of group thought and then post the outcome.
 * Question 5 is individual but in a straight wiki format.

**My Explanatio n :** This is how you can do this. Basically you will be working together to create a document/report that is your deliverable for this week. It will be a wiki page(s). It is guided by the Class Activity in BL (Week 2). It has two parts - one that relates to the human-oriented readings in Johnson and the papers, one that relates to the Hoekman readings about Design. Now the content of the page(s):

**Part 1 -**
**Questions 1 - 3:** I would expect each person to do this either alone or together in pairs or whatever - put what you found, have a discussion around it, and eventually edit it into final form. For example on Question 3, I might identify five ways Amazon tries to reduce cog. complexity and write them on the Week 2 Wiki Activity page on #3 with a description of why I picked them. Another person might agree with my first three, and say so, then disagree with the last two and write in two others (leaving mine up for now for discussion). Then decide which ones - and come to a final version of that question. Indicate somehow that everyone is done with that question (perhaps bold the number or something) and spend time on remaining questions. **Question 4** - Might split up the creation of the tests - for a draft - then agree on them, then take and write about experience. Take individually, or perhaps work with another - that is up to you - however you want to organize it. **Question 5** - I see each person trying each of these items, then discuss and write up a final summary.

**Part 2 - Design Scenario**
**Questions 1-5** here are all posed in the context of the scenario. I see you using the same kind of process as above - discuss, then refine. Or have people write a first draft (Jesse does Q1, Richard Q2, etc), then group can discuss these, change, edit, finalize by Friday.

Another way to go about doing this - make a wiki page for Week 2 Activity Discussion - then use this for discussions, rough drafts, etc. Then perhaps on Thurs move your almost ready for prime time work to the formal (to be graded) Week 2 Wiki Activity - Final Version page. Finish it there. Just one idea - whatever works.
