In the process of creating your website, consider:

– Presenting your rationale for how your website tackles particular needs in your given community. Explain also how your website will help your community achieve their goals. You might consider having an introductory page, or ‘manifesto’ that explains this rationale.

– The way your website communicates information to your community and on its behalf (ie., the intellectual ‘pitch’, the tone, the language you use to convey ideas, specific terminology used in the community.

– The types of information that are useful to your chosen communty. Knowledge is power, so what sort of knowledge will you include to establish positive power relations?

– Ethical considerations such as what topics is is appropriate to discuss, or not, and what images it is acceptable to use.

– Links to organisations and institutions that your chosen community could benefit from knowing more about. – Ways of empowering the identity of your chosen community.

– Methods of interactive communication and education that can create an effective digital social space. – App technologies (many free in Wix) that can be used to meet community needs, and develop positive social changes.

Assessment 2 and 3 are linked. Assessment 2 is the ‘professional back -end’ report that identifies the specific challenges faced by a particular community and identifies what that community needs in order to be supported/strengthened.

Assessment 3 is a solution-oriented website where you will create an online resource to help tackle those needs. The results of your analysis in Assessment 2 should directly y inform the online solutions you create in Assessment 3.

NOTE that your website SHOULD NOT be just an information page about your chosen community, or simply present the results of your needs assessment. It should tackle one or more of the challenges your identified with SPECIFIC and PRACTICAL solutions, as those designed in week 12 tutorial.
