As a contributor to the webring you will be documenting and publishing a collection of your choosing that will help form a collective memory with your peers. The exploration of the collection should be engaging, engrossing, and purposeful. Visitors should visit the experience and understand its breadth and connections. As a starting point there are few questions you could ask yourself before committing to a direction, subject matter, or design: - What tools/knowledge/methods could we impart to your peers? -(For example: browser plugins, ways of presenting work quickly, quirks in your neighbourhood for first time visitors) -- What do you, or friends, collect? and why? -- What is the web missing? -- What story can be told through the connections of different items? -- How do we “query” or “see” specific parts? -- How do we “browse” or “explore” the whole? + (For example: browser plugins, ways of presenting work quickly, quirks in your neighbourhood for first time visitors) +- What do you, or friends, collect? and why? +- What is the web missing? +- What story can be told through the connections of different items? +- How do we “query” or “see” specific parts? +- How do we “browse” or “explore” the whole? How you choose to interpret the prompts is up to you. You might have thought of more questions along the way. Your site should have an intent and not simply be a grid of related images, for example. Recall the examples of unique libraries and interpretations of an archive. Consider your content: one of the central tasks of this assignment is storytelling: but this is not a game or a book, this is a website, a more non-linear form. -Consider the the full breadth of topics, references, and methods we have covered this semester.
