ISYS100-Assignment

Report
1. Explain why you chose the blog topic.
The reason
why we choose sports as our topic is basically that we love sports. In our group, everyone got their own favourite
sports; we could gain same benefits from sports. Information about sports on the internet is huge and you can easily gain
access to what you need to complete the task. First of all, life lies in
movement. Playing sports is like doing exercise that could make people healthy
physically and mentally. Another benefit is able to make lots of friends. When
we play sports in public or in some clubs, we often meet new friends who have
the same hobbies with us. It is interesting and we all enjoy it. We were right
for choosing this topic; everything was very straightforward and uncomplicated.
Also, everyone enjoys the writing the blog.
2. What were the largest challenges with a team
assignment?
A
team assignment faced a lot of challenges in terms of longer process, unequal
participation, group conflict and limiting creativity. The biggest problem was
finding time to actually meet together and discuss the progression and other
matters. So the difficulty we meet together increases the potential
disadvantage of less time focusing on our topic. We have limited time on our
blog and every group member has his or her own assignments for other units. To
determine our blog design layout or content on the blog, we were able to discuss
on the Wikispaces or Wechat. However, sometimes we work on our own part and may
know a few suggestions from others. Everyone has his or her own ideas and it's
hard to unify their opinions. In addition, the effiency of our teamwork
decreases and we spent more time on our blog. When we start doing making blog,
its difficult to manage the team without deciding whether who is doing what.
3. How did you come up with the final design
that you used.
Before
publish a post on our blog, we search the raw materials in Internet and then
open a pages on wikispace to discuss the idea for further useful information
that can be posted. Furthermore, we edit and paraphrase the raw content in
order to post on blogger. The posts always come up with pictures (always the
sports players), on the right side or on the center related to the content and
also we create some labels in relation to the content so that others are able
to search the relevant posts in blogger. Moreover, we use the reaction function
at the bottom of the post for other user to interaction. Also, users are able
to leave a comment or share the post to other social media such as google,
twitter and facebook. In addition, posts can also be viewed through the blog
archive by titles and time sequence on the right side.
4. Compare a blog that has similar content to
your self, critically analyse your site comparing theres.
Firstly, the
sportsblog has a similar content compare to our blog, (http://www.sportsblog.com).
However the sportsblog illustrate a more attractive visual image to gain the
audience attention. Secondly, the sportsblog has hyperlink and hypertext that
the audience can click on for more information. Thirdly, our blog is mainly
focus on introducing sports play all over the world such as Lin Dan from China,
while the sportsblog introduces different players and also sports news, the
blog also critically analysis players performance, match prediction. Comparing with our blog presenting about spots,
the blog has been simply organised to look at easily and reading smoothly. Simply
organised structure make the readers understand clearly about what the blog is
going to talk about, and some picture and video clips can help to lead further
attention to relevant topics. We consider this blog is good model for those who
never create the blog and can lead to the further understanding of how they
show their abilities and creativities through the blog.
