For this weeks contact, we were asked to brainstorm 4 project ideas that we could potentially use for our future assignment. All the project ideas come from using the Trove Search Engine(National Library of Australia)
1st Idea:
My first first thought for Trove was to create a search engine that incorporated the use of providing a search engine that specialised in information about Australian murderers and their victims.
Within the search engine, i would provide information about:
- murderers
- the victims of murder
- unsolved murder mysteries
- the history of the murders
- the history of the victims
- how the murder was taken place
- where the murder was taken place
- timeline of when the murders occurred in Australia
2nd Idea:
My second idea concept for trove, incorporated the Australian history of diseases and how they impacted the world.
Within the search engine, i would provide information about:
- the history of the disease
- the victims of the disease
- the locations of where the disease started and how it spread
- what caused the disease to start
- how hospitals dealt with the impact of the disease
- timeline of when the diseases occurred
3rd Idea:
My third idea concept involves tracking the Australian history of plane crashes.
Within the search engine, i would provide information about:
- what countries have the highest percentage
- what caused the plane crashes
- the victims
- the terrorist that caused the plane crash
- timeline of when the plane crashes occurred
My fourth idea concept involves the mapping of Brisbane cycle routes.
Within the search engine, I would provide information about:- map of the bike routes provided in Brisbane
- safest bike routes provided in Brisbane
- tracks to be established
This Weeks Activity
What did you learn about your attitudes to working in a team? Which Belbin roles did you identify with?
I have been identified as shaper, followed by 12-15 point scores as a planter, Completer-Finisher and Team Worker. In all other categories i scored0 0-30, this did not surprise me as i usually try to work well with everyone in the group in a effective and efficient manner.
My leadership scores received indicate that i am a strong leader and direct my team well. I am a bit surprised at that result as i usually override most conversation within the group.
From this i am surprised from my high results. In the future i hope to help my group by listening to everyones ideas individually and work constructively as a team unit.
Did you identify with any of the causes of conflict? Is it something you have a tendency to do or something you have experienced from previous team projects? How will you manage this if it occurs in this team project.
What is important to you when working in a team?
In my previous teams that i have worked in, i have actually had a really good history with group work. All my team members have co-operated well together and each member inputed into the conversation to a good level. The only negative aspect of group i have had so far is missing group members and not being able to contact them. It has been a very frustrating ordeal not being able to contact someone when you need their part of the assignment.
In this team project i hope for my team members check the Facebook forum regularly and keep up to date with all the work that is assigned to them.
Cooperation, listening, constructive criticism, input
Lecture
This weeks lecture, we learn't about Web API's and how we can use them within developing our application.
What i learn't:
- Application Programming Interface
- creates a link between software-to-software
- it manipulates how software interacts together
- remote calls through HTTP requests
I know that we will need to know how to use API request within the our application so it was good to show use how to use it and show use how we can implement it. This week i hope to test how to use the API request format and perform it on basic tasks.
