=Analysis and Reflection=

The page I created was an informative page describing the online web community Asianavenue.com. AsianAvenue is an Online Community found on the Internet with over 1.3 Million members. It is a prime example of narrowcasting because of their intended audience. This site is geared towards developing and helping the young adult Asian community connect, interact and improve their lives. The site offers many different features for the Asian community to interact.

My observations on the collaborative writing experience at first were a little confusing. I didn’t know how to navigate Wikispaces and found that the site was quite awkward. However, after sometime familiarizing myself with the site I found that the site was very informative and helpful. The whole idea of people editing other people’s work was very appealing to me. The site showed exactly what changes were made by certain people. It kept a very detailed record about the entire blog and how the users modified it. I especially enjoyed that people actually take interest in the data sharing and helping people out with the edits or maybe this is because it was for marks. In my opinion it was probably the latter.

My suggestions for future CCIT students are to start the assignment early when it is assigned and to continually modify your work. I am a chronic procrastinator and I realized I perform best under high amounts of pressure; however this assignment entails the students to form a sort of continual circle of editing and adding more and more data to their assignment. I realize I will suffer academically because of my negligence to start the assignment earlier. On the other hand, I did enjoy this assignment because the software is fun to use and the whole idea of editing work over and over is a very solid idea.
