    "Lumzy is a mockup and prototyping tool for websites and applications. By "mockup", we mean a quick sketch that gives an idea of what the site or application you are planning to build will look like. When we say "prototype", we're referring to something functional, and with Lumzy we're NOT talking about simply page-linking (like so many other so-called "prototyping" tools provide). No way, we're talking about functional prototypes - where a user can perform events such a clicking on buttons, selecting values from dropdowns, filling in text fields, scrolling lists, etc..., and those events can trigger actions. These actions provide the client with the experience they'd expect from a functioning site or application, such as seeing popup windows, or alert messages, or being taken to other pages or even to other websites (yes you can launch real "live" URLs from within your prototype).

  • With your group, determine what "team" means to each of you.
  • Do they share a common goal? A common set of measures that determine success? Are collective achievements possible -- or is this really an assortment of individuals working independently with separate measurement and goals?
  • Even when individuals do much of the team's work independently, team members can still share in the responsibilities associated with building a great place to work. Think about using the Gallup Q12 items as a common focus for better partnership and teaming.
  • f the group is working with common measurements and a shared goal, however, investing some time and thought in strengths-based team building will pay off.

  • Don't be worried if you find someone has already done your study. This is a valuable resource. It will give you clues as to what you might or might not find. It is very useful--your study will be different, because you are in a different setting, so don't worry. Replication is an important part of science.

  • WHEN TO PARAPHASE AND WHEN TO QUOTE.... When should you use a quote and how should you reference the work of others? You use a direct quote ONLY for one of these three reasons... ARTFUL WORDS The text is so wonderfully written that no matter how hard you try to put it in your own words something critical is lost. You cannot paraphrase it. Use the quote and be sure to include the author, publication date and page number.FROM THE EXPERT -The importance is not the words but the fact that a certain person said them. For example, a politician might make a statement that has meaning because of WHO said it. The words might be less then poetic but the reason for the quote is to ties the words to the author. Again you need to indicate the source and if it is cited in an article from another source the correct way to list it is. (Bush, 2004 cited in Steward, 2004, p35). CONCEPTS AS PROPERTY The quote contains a phase or concept that you want to tie to a person. For example "communities of practices" (Lave and Wenger, 1991) But beware of writing in the words of others because you are afraid to interpret a the text. This is a common mistake in graduate student writing. You have a right to make sense of the writing. And with a citation you can paraphrase the results of the study using some of the words that are in the study. Don't be afraid to put it in your own words. Now there are a number of ways to cite the person --Suppose you want to quote Riel for the phrase/idea --"Technology is shared minds made visible"...here are four different ways of doing this.
