Journal 4: Final Project Plan

My final project will be a website intended for osteopathic medical students at Western University of Health Sciences. The site will introduce the student to vertebral dysfunction: Its causes, types, and motion patterns. I will incorporate animation and images to depict the various pathologies. Also, there will be a quiz to serve as a simple self-check.

• Site title - A Facet Model of Positional Somatic Dysfunction
• Developer - Joe Marilo in co-ordination with a subject matter expert within the NMM/OMM (neuromusculoskeletal medicine/osteopathic medicine) department.
• Rational or focus - This site will serve current WesternU medical students and function as a supplement to their courses in this topic. 

• Main features outline - The main feature of this site will be the inclusion of animation and a Flash-based self-quiz.

• Content - The site will contain approximately 7 pages. These pages will include a Home page, Introduction page, a Normal type page, a Non-Neutral type page, a Neutral type page, a Quiz page, and a Credits page. Each page will go in-depth for that particular topic and include graphics and/or animation as needed.

• Target audience - WesternU medical students

• Design considerations - This site will contain graphics depicting types of vertebral dysfunction, various animations, and a simple matching quiz created in Flash.

• Limiting factors - Potential technical factors that may limit the audience would be the inability to playback the videos and take the quiz due to browser plug-in incompatibilities. No foreseen audience factors as they will be students of WesternU knowledgeable in the field.
