Progress - Joel n Chaddy

We divided the storyboards up. Im doin storyboards for login and week 4 - 6. Chaddy is doing week 7 - 9.

Separate UML diagrams will be done for each of the events/scenarios that we did storyboards for.

Also, found a few medical examples on Second Life, but they had no simulations they were just empty virtual clinics or hospitals.

And I found a program that exports models from 3DS Max 9 to Second Life and vice versa. But havent been able to test because im still on dial up until tomorrow.

Link Bank

I have made a link bank so we can share our links and resources - please use it.

Updates

Hey guys - i've done a class diagram which may help you with your UML design - especially the sequence boys. It's on google docs for now. (Just as screen dumps - will have the EA file on the website once it is going)

Joel, Matty and Chaddy - for your assigned UML you will need to document a list of assumptions and notes to go with it and a description of what the UML is used for.
Have a look at sections 3.6.1 & 3.6.2 in the example SRS we looked at for a guide.

IMPORTANT
Can you guys please post on here outlining what you personally are upto just so we all have some idea of where we're at - because we are not meeting in person it's even more important than usual that you discuss what your upto on here. Looking through the hours logged everyone has done some sort of research so you should at least be sharing the links and your findings.

Weekly Updates

Hi - hope every one had a great easter.
Just a reminder that the deadline to get your updates to Dylan is tomorrow.
I've put a copy of the scope statement on google docs for now to help you all with the SRS doc, and will be circulating the details of the requirements in the next couple of days. Please keep chacking the calender - your part of the SRS is due next week on the wed.

***Please keep me updated on the blog with how you are going with the SRS.

Cheers,
Luke

___________________________________________________________________
Also i'm gonna do some class diagrams too - This will illustrate how the sytem will be held together - as each object will have the funcitons - the user will click on the object select a function - function will run and change the state of another object.

SPMP updates

Please check your emails (matty i sent yours to your student mail sorry) for a copy of the updates required in the SPMP - this is getting marked next week so can you get the updates to Dylan ASAP - no later than Wednesday.

-------edited by ben---------

CLIENT MEETING

AGENDA

• See Agenda 12/3/08
  

ABSENTEES - NIL

NOTES

• The client is looking for something clinical scenario in Second Life
• Will it be descision based
• trama.org
• this website has clinical senarios. In these scenarios you make multiple steps (decisions) before the system gives feedback (3-4 steps)
• This senario based system does not neccesarily need to have popups (on screen)
• It could be set up to have both incremental feedback as well as end of senario feedback
• Suggestions for the project
  
• Keep it small to start (a small prototype)
  
• Research examples of similar scenarios already implemented in Second Life to show to the client
• Will this scenario be open to anyone in Second Life?
• we will be able to make the area a closed area (so that only students may enter it)
• What's the Clients role?
• Clinical expertise
• Know what the students need to learn from this experience
• Quality Assurance and testing
• Educational expertise
• What will happen to the project after the team (Critical Life) have finished with it this year?
• We need to be made in such a way that it is easily maintained
  
• Charlynn has people in line ready to continue with any Second Life projects
• Second Life by its very nature is easy to manipulate with little experience
• Blake has written up paper based scenarios
• These should be very useful for us to see what is required in each of these scenarios
• Must also take into consideration Horsham Campus' needs
• Second Life is bandwidth intensive
• requires broadband - which the university has
• any students using Second Life will need an increase in their monthly internet download limit
• We must also as a team be careful to balance the detail of the scenarios we create against the loading times due to bandwidth
• In the future the potential with Second Life and University is huge
• You could make a fully functioning Hospital
• We must remember to keep the Head of the Nursing School in touch with this projects
• Keep them updated
• Our main client contact at the moment
• Blake Peck
• Will be aiming these scenarios at his unit
• A student representative from the school of nursing would be useful
• When making the presentation at the end of the semester make sure all stakeholders are invited
• Including the Head of the School of Nursing
• Also there are Sesional staff in the School of Nursing that would be helpful
• They have lots of clinical expertise
• Would be useful in the testing stage
• Supervisor - Charlynn Miller
• Will step back in involvement
• Will continue to keep us on track
• Prototype (by the end of semester)
• Pilot for the project
• A small scenario to see what we can acheive with this project
• We can all make Wednesday Morning 9.30AM as a possible client meeting time each week
• We wont be meeting each week, however if we are meeting this will be the time that suits all parties (team, client, supervisors)
• When setting up a meeting see Kay Lewis to book a room for any future client meeting
• We need to set up a time with all client members, team members and supervisors second week of the easter break
• During this time we will show researched scenarios from second life
• To help the client see what can be done

• Research scenarios in Second Life that have already been implemented
  
• Set up meeting in the second week of the easter break

Weekly Updates

Hey Boys - Few weekly updates.


I’ve emailed Charlynn regarding your internet accounts

Handed in the tender today - we officially have the project now.

Had a meeting with Kathleen today
The marking sheets can be found at:
http://uob-community.ballarat.edu.au/units/itmsprojects/Assessment.htm
(down the bottom)

Also the time sheets we are doing on google docs are fine – so we’ll keep doing that!

Joel has re-re-deigned our logo – looks awesome!

Tuesdays meeting will be a short one so come prepared – 15 min tops.
Apart from the agenda set from the previous meeting we’ll need to designate a new web designer as Chaddy works at IBM 30+ hours a week – making it hard for him to gain internal access.

A meeting with the client is being arranged.

Another really good week boys – keep it up

Useful Links (google docs)

For the guys that haven't done the google docs yet here's the link

http://docs.google.com/

then you need to log in as this account - and then share the spreadsheet with your own account


Here's the link to the theory of mind (TOM) SPMP that we are half basing our own SPMP off

---- SCRATCH that --- It's not there anymore --- just look at the other examples at:

http://uob-community.ballarat.edu.au/units/itmsprojects/exdocs/

Here's the link to all of the marking guide for the different docs

SUPERVISOR MEETING

AGENDA

• Talk about SPMP – look at previous team’s SPMP’s
• Divide up sections of the SPMP to work on
• First Meeting with our supervisor – Dr. Charlynn Miller

ABSENTEES - NIL

NOTES

• Notes from our first meeting with Charlynn

o Lots of opportunities will come from this project (possibly jobs)

o Make sure you make a separate login account for Second Life for use in this project. To steer clear of any possible inappropriate use that may go against the University’s Use Policy

o Our team name must be changed from ‘Fro Life’ (has been changed to ‘Critical Life’)

o When using Google docs (to share documents between team members) only add Charlynn to the documents that we (as a team) want her to see. So don’t go sharing really rough docs with Charlynn

o There will be a new (to this university) lecturer that will join in with the supervising of this team

§ May come along to meetings with Charlynn or may even come instead of Charlynn

o This Project is important for the University of Ballarat (in the use of online technology for learning – in Second Life)

§ If we pull this project off, the University may use it as a showcase to the usefulness of Second Life for the rest of the University

· The university may then set up an island on Second Life

§ THIS PROJECT IS HUGE

o With this project, do not go trying to re invent the wheel.

§ Spend time researching what has been done in Second Life already

o MOST IMPORTANTLY

§ Work carefully on Scope Creep with the Client

· Our client is not IT savvy, so they will most definitely get carried away with what can be done in this project

• We needed to change the name of the team

o NEW NAME: Team Critical Life

§ Contains both the second life name, with the fact that we will be using emergency scenarios (for the Nursing Dept.)

• USE THE BLOG DAILY

o Any meeting times, updates on work to be done, information from any team members (especially myself (Ben) as secretary or Luke as PM) will be posted on the Team Blog (so that we don’t have to keep track of too many emails)

ACTION

· HIGHEST PRIORITY

o Chaddy needs to get the team website sorted out ASAP

• Everyone needs to look into there allocated section on the SPMP as follows (from the TOM project contents – please use other peoples projects to get further ideas as well)
• Luke & Ben
• Project Overview
• Matt
• Management Processes
• Joel
• Supporting Processes
• Dylan
• Documentation (as well as a template for the whole SPMP)
• Next Team meeting
• Project Personnel
• When writing stuff up for your allocated section don’t worry so much about the Formatting – as we will be cutting your information into the Template that Dylan is making for the SPMP
• KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOYS

NEXT MEETING: - NEXT TUESDAY (4:30PM) 6/3/08

Add your personal account....

Hey Guys,

Under settings / permissions, you can add yourself to the blog as a valid poster etc, meaning you don't need to keep logging in and out of multiple accounts. Just send yourself the permission email and add your account.

Thought it might make things easier, this can apply to the Google calendar etc i believe.....

-Dylan

Calender.

Hey also just had the idea - and created - a calender for the team -> http://www.google.com/calendar/

We'll discuss this and populate it at the meeting.

This weeks meeting

I've organized for this weeks meeting for us to meet with Charlynn Miller (our supervisor) at 9:30 so perhaps come a little earlier. We also discussed the idea of an associate supervisor – Sae Ra – who has a vast knowledge of Second Life.

Also if you haven’t already - check out these links –
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal
http://www.devx.com/opensource/Article/33905

And remember for this weeks meeting to have had a look at the previous weeks SPMP’s.
Cheers – looking good boys.

Meeting Minutes 3/3/08

TEAM FRO LIFE – Minutes 3/3/08

WORKSHOP MEETING

AGENDA

• Work on the Tender Bid
• Discuss Logo/Team name change
• Discuss use of Google Documents as a vehicle for Timesheets

ABSENTEES - NIL

NOTES

• Mainly we worked during the meeting on finalising the details on ‘why our team is right for the project’ in the Tender Bid document

• Then most team members then added their profile sections to the main Tender Bid document (they had completed since last meeting)

• We have decided to Change our team name from “F Life” to “Fro Life”

o This also means we need to redesign our logo

• New role given, as part of Dylan’s role as documenter, he will also be given the documents to ‘proof read’ (and check for anything that may have been missed)

• We have decided to use the team’s Google account in conjunction with Google documents for our timesheets (in order to keep track of each team members progress)

o We are just using a simple spreadsheet layout in which each of the team members will be able to log in and update their sheet at any time

ACTION

• Those members who needed to must finalise their profiles for the Tender Bid ASAP
• Tender Bid must then be read over (checked) and then printed out by Thursday’s meeting in order that each team member will be able to sign it
• Once we win the Tender
• Need to organise first meeting with Supervisor
• Need to organise first meeting with Client
• Involves preparing as a team formally as to make good first impressions to the client
• REMINDER
• Whenever any work is completed on this project by any team member they MUST update their timesheet to reflect it

NEXT MEETING: - NEXT THURSDAY 6/3/08
