(CLICK THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE)

So as of right now, this is the direction I'm heading in. My general thoughts are that I really like linear graphics and things that are very streamlined in presentation (the Bates model really spoke to me and seemed straight forward) I'm not a huge fan of bubbles and squiggles that make things look like a choose your own adventure novel. The only trouble with this is it doesn't lend itself to appearing to be iterative. Though it's not displayed, there will be a feedback component from Evaluation back into the Design & Development section (and possibly back into FEA section too). My other struggle is trying to represent the communication aspect, and bringing the focus onto the students.

Another issue I'm debating is something Steve and I spoke about- when assessing the students , something along the lines of an observational checklist would be beneficial. I'm creating something similar for my Front End Analysis class, but it most likely will not be ready for this project submission. Do I include what I have as an appendix, or maybe have a list for one of the learning styles, or leave it out all together? Part of me feels that the more that's included, the richer the material becomes as a whole. On the other hand, the fact that it's unfinished bothers me.
