[Year 12 IT Apps] how specific is type of website?

[Cameron, Gordon G]

My students are creating a site that will include blog, forum and social network "types". They will have to justify why they included each of these elements within their site. For one thing, it gives them more to write! I hope this complies with the the study design.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] how specific is type of website?

To all those who have already completed Outcome 1, I have a query.

In the written report part of the SAC, students have to address this: “Justify web sites that suit the needs of different on-line communities” (quoted from Key Skills of Study Design). Yet, in many of the examples and generous offerings from colleagues, this is rephrased to something like “Justify the type of web site that suits the needs of … (fill in specific online community here)

Now by “type of web site” I take it to mean blog, wiki, forum etc.
But did your students create a prototype web site that neatly fitted into one of these types?
Or did they create a web site with some elements from many types and some basic web pages too?
Do they need to create a specific type of web site or whatever they think will work for the outlined needs?
