Stanford Students Start Their Own Course-Management Web Site - Wired Campus - The Chron... - 0 views

  • A student-run Web site at Stanford University seeks to convince students to input their class assignments to keep themselves—and their classmates—more organized. It could, founders hope, grow into a student-run course-management system.
  • Once one student adds an assignment in a class, everyone else in the class has it added to their calendars, as well. Ultimately, he’d like to expand the site to include social events on campus, to help students better plan every aspect of their lives. He also plans to allow students to flag incorrect assignments.

Why Buy Organic, Organic farming methods improve soil health and prevent erosion - This... - 3 views

      This border is not linear or hard... it has kind of an organic shape (No punn intended). It looks like a cornucopia. Also, the fuzzy edges makes it feel like the fruit and veggies have a halo. They look nummy.
  • The average child receives 4-5 times more exposure than an adult to at least eight widely used cancer-causing pesticides in food.

      I have gone through the text and highlighted blue the points that I find appeal to my emotion in a negative manner (fear, anger or unhappiness). These points use pathos by appealing to negative emotions regarding any product that is not deemed organic.
    • Amy Simcox
       
      This is also the beginning of a number of facts that they use to back up some of their claims. I wish they had included references for some of these facts. It would provide more umph for their argument
    • J.Randolph Radney
       
      Do you mean 'more credibility'?
  • Organic farming methods improve soil health and prevent erosion. They aim to maintain long-term soil fertility, increased soil biological activity and ensure effective pest management
    • Amy Simcox
       
      I have gone through and highlighted all the points that appeal to my happy emotions. I notice that there are more scary blue text than happy green text on the page.

      I'm not sure what they plan to do with this large empty space on the side... it seems unsettling in the design of the web page.
    • Amy Simcox
       
      I was wondering why the authors chose purple for their background. It doesn't seem very much like a back to earth kind of color. After doing a little research on the color purple it makes a little sense. Purple is associated with good judgement, peace of mind and people seeking spiritual fullfilment. Also, it has been associated with magic, mystery and royalty. I'm not certain but I would think people willing to pay extra for organic food would be trying to make a good judgement and spiritula fullfillment maybe?
  • In addition, irrigating large tracts of land is increasing soil salinity resulting in the decommissioning of farm land worldwide
    • Amy Simcox
       
      This is actually true. I didn't know until recently that overhead watering can increase salinity in soil. This happens because small particles in the water, such as salt, are concentrated when the water evaporates before it seeps into the ground. Again, I wish they had cited this fact.
    • Amy Simcox
       
      Their question is short and sweet and right up front for the reader to see immediately. I think that was well done.
    • Amy Simcox
       
      They have drawn attention to their main points nicely by making them bold and a larger font.

Charitable Gift Giving that Makes a Difference | Heifer International - 4 views

    • jenna swift
       
      Heifer Logo is consistently in this location to allow easy access to the home screen from any linked page.

      The home page is lacking an informative introduction which explains the corporations purpose.
    • jenna swift
       
      This horizontal navigation bar is handy and consistent on each linked page. The titles are informative but could use some colour to make them more obvious.
    • jenna swift
       
      Colour coding each title with its subsequent link would make this website more interesting and increase accessibility.
    • jenna swift
       
      The drop down menus under each title are also very convenient. This means you can find what you are looking for faster, without having to filter through information you don't want. In addition, you can easily move between the linked pages.
    • jenna swift
       
      These changing graphics give the viewer an overall sense of the organizations purpose (if they wait for the five sequences to shuffle through). They provide pictures of hope and a few words of information, seeking to appeal to the viewer's feelings.
    • jenna swift
       
      A few of the messages also persuade the viewer logically and ethically, giving strong facts and personal testimonies.

    • jenna swift
       
      This is the organizations way of telling you even more about the charity and reminding you by sending regular e-mail updates. This seems like a good idea for any business.
    • jenna swift
       
      The text is easy to read with lots of whitespace. The black lettering on white background is consistent throughout the website but it's a bit boring.
    • jenna swift
       
      The highlighting techniques are appropriate; hyperlinks are underlined and headings are in red or blue.
    • jenna swift
       
      The site uses pronouns throughout to engage the viewer.
    • jenna swift
       
      The writing style throughout this website is serious yet personal.
    • jenna swift
       
      The corporation's message is obvious: please donate! There are numerous links on this page for the viewer to click to contribute, making it an easy process.
    • jenna swift
       
      Heifer wants to spread the word about their charity. These links provide a way to tell the people you know about this great organization.

      Conventional search bar.

      This picture is a great use of pathos. Unlike an organization such as World Vision, Heifer influences its viewers by giving positive images of success and happiness.
    • jenna swift
       
      The video does not require an add-on that needs to be downloaded and does not play immediately when this page opens. The video must be clicked on to play it, meaning it won't slow down the site once you navigate here.
  • Story Of Hope
    • jenna swift
       
      The "Contact Us" page does not actually provide information for getting a hold of anyone at Heifer. This link would be more appropriately titled "Questions".
  • Pierre Ferrari, Heifer's CEO, addresses web visitors in this short video.
    • jenna swift
       
      This video provides the website with a strong ethical argument. The CEO informs the viewer that this organization is trustworthy and credible; it has been increasing sustainability in needy villages for 66 years!
