That is the list of the questions that I came with
up. If you have any more to add you can comment below and I will go in and edit
the post later. Also we need to decide who is doing what types of questions. I
am going to leave it free for everyone to choose for now, but if the questions
aren’t all distributed or distributed fairly I will assign topics for each team
member, according to their background and which topics may fit best. If you
would like a certain topic please comment below to claim it.

I'd like to look into questions 1 and 5. Thus, I'll be trying to see what the people want ,as well as provide to ways better persuade them that it would be benifical.

ReplyDeleteQuestions 2 and 3 belong to Robert
Questions 1 and 5 belong to Alex
Question 4 belongs to Cailen
Quesiton 6 belongs to Matt
If you could, please try to have the research of your questions done and posted to blog by Monday
Also for my question I am going to create a survey and hand out it to individuals if you have any question that you might want me to add on the let me know. Also if anyone wants to hand out surveys with me let me know, it would be much appreciated.
-Alex Whitman
I will get started on #4 right away. I think Question 4.a.iii would be best asked on the survey, though. I will still look into what research exists on user preferences for trails, but I think we will get the best information for 4.a.iii from the survey.
ReplyDeleteThe questions look fine to me. The ones I was thinking about exist on this list in some fashion already.
