OWW Internship

This space will display my main objectives and other information related to my internship that will start in February 2008.

Internship objectives *

  • Work closely with OWW users so as to produce new or better tools to accomplish desired results.
    • This should be accomplished by changing the tools to accommodate the user and not the other way around, thus minimizing the learning curve.
  • Statistical analysis
    • of the effect that these new tools/procedures have on the OWW user community's productivity.
    • of visitors to OWW as a result of changes made to specific features of OWW (implementation of tags/categories, use of multimedia tutorials video/screencasts, etc)
  • Perform various case studies on the use of OWW and other web2.0 tools to demonstrate the usefulness and application of such technologies in everyday lab work/research.

* This is a work in progress
