Over the last couple of weeks I have completed:

• Collecting information for leaflet.
• Choosing suitable categories to put in the leaflet.
• Narrowing down information for input into leaflet.

Over the last couple days and the following week i have been working and will working on my leaflets first draft. I will send a copy to TobyHenness the project manager for his input as well as melvyn second life developer. On there suggestion and my opinion and evalution of the first draft i will re vamp for the second draft.

My main task after the project brief was to research and get familiar with second life. During the past few days a considerable amount of time were spend on researching and analysing possible simple ways of presenting 802.11. The next phase will be to spend time on learning how to create and built objects on second life.

Over the last couple of weeks after we had decided and written our project brief we started our individual tasks.
Last couple of weeks I have been researching all areas of wireless. These include:

• History
• Why it used
• How it works
• Its capabilities
• Future advancements

I also created a task breakdown with a rough outline of time. This task break down will be the start of my gent chart and planning that will be started in the next couple of weeks.

Over the last two weeks an in depth research work was carried out by the team on the history,advances and future of 802.11.

The next step accomplished was the assignment of tasks amoung the team.

My main tasks for the project will be to research and master Second life and create a presentation for the project.

1st blog

Within the last 2 week certain items have been defined.

Firstly - the members of the group and their role within it.

Melvyn Abeelack - Virtual Environment Expert - Creation of a virtual environment where a presentation can be displayed.

Liam Mann - Product Creation - Creation of a virtual teaching material as well as a physical teaching material.

Toby Henness - Project Manager - Ensuring the smooth running of the project and that deadlines and quality of the project are kept.

The project board consists of 2 University tutors - Paul Sant and Marc Conrad, their purpose is to ensure the project meets the requirements of the university and fulfils what the project set out to achieve.



Secondly - The project deliverables have also been defined;

Firstly a Leaflet explaining what the purpose of 802.11 is

Secondly a teaching environment within a Virtual Environment again explaining the purpose of 802.11

Personally I have be defining people’s roles within the Project Team and starting on the project documentation. Also I have created a blog regarding the project.

Within the next 2 weeks, I will have achieved project definition and all project documentation to occupancy this will have been created and shown to the project board allowing the progression of the project.

Over the last 2 weeks my group and I have been discussing ideas for a project incorporating computer networking.
During the 2 weeks the idea for the project was to do it on 802.11 wireless networks as it is still quite new concept. We brainstormed ideas within 802.11 these being such things as user guides for wireless, how wireless works and what is wireless.
We choose to do an introduction to wireless through a leaflet and presentation that will be viewable on an interactive interface. We chose this idea as wireless is a new concept and possibly the future of networking which many people use but have no real understanding of.
The first task was to set up project roles for the project. this went as folows:

• Our tutors will act as our project board Mark Conrad and Paul Sant
• Toby Henness will be our project manager chosen for his experties in management. This be a euro skill team manager and his previous studies that have incorparated network management
• Melvyn Abeel will become our interactive interface poffessional where the presentation will be viewable. This is due to his experience within software and the fact that his background is predomently not networking, Also his personewl choice to study the virtual interface.
• Me Liam Mann I will be creating the leaflet and the presentation for the project this due to my experience with publishing software and my networking background.

In the following weeks i will be creating a breakdown of the tasks with in my individual project.
