BLACKSBURG, Va., Feb. 27, 2015 – This week was an important week for the three developers, Laura Avakian, Seth Canon, and Ryan Kiel. Two of the three met with their client, Professor Paul Quigley, on Wednesday, February 25th, and the three then came up with a project plan and deadlines.
Paul Quigley expressed that he was indeed interested in an iOS driving tour application, and specifically said that he would like an interactive map that allows the user to see different marked locations. The user could click on these locations and learn about the history about their historical significance in terms of the Civil War.
Additionally, there would be features allowing the user to share these locations on social media and a couple optional tours for visiting nearby locations. Overall, the ideas are all on the table at this point, and the team is in a very good place in terms of moving forward.
The team came up with their project plan and their deadlines by keeping the meeting in mind and deciding who was going to do what based on the team members’ skill sets. They will be continuing their weekly meetings, and at the moment are on track to have the final deliverable available around May 6th.
Next week, the team will be focusing on developing their contextual inquiry, and thinking about the design of the app.
As stated in the last press release, the team was reconsidering a new name but decided to stick with its beloved “Kool Katz,” with an appropriately accompanying slogan: “All your Civil War needs right here right meow.”
Contact Laura Avakian for any further inquiries.
