Collaborative Memo: Fund The World

FUND THE WORLD MEMO
To: Dr. Teresa Fishman
From: Amy A. Justice
Date: June 24, 2008
Subject: Fund the World Website

Fund the World is an organization with the purpose of gathering donations from people and giving the proceeds to benefit those who are in need.

Process and Interactions

In the beginning stages, a discussion with the founder was deemed necessary. Intercommunication of the group was accomplished by email, blogging, Instant Messenger, and phone calls. After collaborating ideas of what needed to be accomplished, a Mind Map and a Timeline were created to give a general sense of what needed to be accomplished for the project. Individual tasks for the group members were decided upon and carried out. After each team member had completed his or her tasks, revisions were made based on input of the group and instructor. Corrections were performed and alas, a beautiful project!

Goals

The main goal in mind was to raise the awareness of the physical and financial needs of missionaries around the world. Another was to make an easily accessible website that anyone could comprehend. We also wanted people to know that any contribution, no matter how large or small, is important.

My Contribution

My contributions included developing WebPages, a Mind Map, editing, revising; and, most importantly I collaborated with the group via phone, email, and instant messenger to constructively criticize our Fund the World project to attain the best product possible within time constraints. I created two WebPages via Microsoft PowerPoint entitled, “Contact Information for Fund the World Organization” and “Frequently Asked and Answered Questions.” I felt it was extremely important to establish a way of communication for the donors and the founders. I also felt it would be helpful to have a “Frequently Asked and Answered Questions” WebPage so the founders could avoid giving similar feedback frequently. I also designed a Mind Map and helped establish a timeline to keep us on task so we could meet deadlines. Aside from helping write, edit and revise the Proposal, I presented feedback on the project and gave the clever idea of including a navigation tool bar on each page so the Website would have a delightful sense of ease and unity.
