Step 2
Purpose:
1. I would be writing to recruit students into my field.
2. I would be prompted by the education children need.
3. My outcome would be getting people involved with wanting to be a part of a child’s life.
4. The reader desires to decide what career field they would like to join.
Profile:
1. Primary reader is the students.
2. Their relationship to me is
3. Reader’s job title is student and their responsibilities are to decide what field they are going to choose to make a career out of.
4. Professors may read this communication.
5. The reader is not real familiar that is why they are researching the subject.
6. Again the reader is researching the subject.
7. Communications preferences should be taken into account, they may be visually or hearing impaired.
8. You should also take into account that most students are young and not sure of what they want to do.
Situational Analysis:
You should take into account that some students are not as educated as you and you may want to word things in simpler terms for them to understand. You could give a step-by-step evaluation to help understand more.
Usability Objectives:
1. Readers will ask: Why do I want to join this field? What benefits will I receive? What is the pay? Will I really be a part of the future? Can I really help a child learn?
2. The reader will search for the answers by asking others their opinion or by doing research for themselves. They may ask people from that specific field what they think.
3. The reader will use the information provide by all of the reason stated. They will compare, follow step-by-step, and determine how it will affect them.
Persuasive Objectives:
1. The reader’s attitude is what do I want to be when I grow up? What is required of me to achieve my goal?
2. The reader’s attitude toward me is Does this college have what I want? Do they meet the requirements? How easy is it to understand the requirements?
Stakeholders:
1. The stakeholders with the website are everyone affiliated with the college. If the website doesn’t attract students then there will be no students and that itself can cause a problem of everyone within the college.
Constraints:
I really don’t think there are any limits to what you can write as long as all the questions can be answered within that area. Of course you are expected to do your best and it would always be helpful to get a second opinion after all you are the one responsible to requite people into your field.
Step 3
I liked how the website of Florida has everything broken down into semesters. It offers you certification options. I like how it took you to another site that gives you more options. It gives you all the information needed to receive your degree plus shows you the next levels you can take to continue your education.
I looked at the site of Tennessee. I really didn’t like how it was done. I liked the brightness of the site, but found it hard to navigate to the information I wanted to find. Once I found the information there wasn’t a lot of understand definition to the site. If I were considering this college, I would have a lot of questions to contact them for.
In this day and age people do not have time to contact many places they prefer to let their fingers do the waking: therefore I believe you should be able to find all the information you want at your fingertips and be able to understand it.
