DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK TO BE ATTEMTED

Introduction

E-mail is the new modern way to Communicate. Most people have access to the internet Now meaning that they can send e-mail to anybody in the world for example you can meet people over the internet and then get to know them better by E-Mailing them. You can use e-mail to buy things of the Internet anything from a Television to a new car. In this project I will investigate how I can communicate with people by using different methods.

Ideas Of Task

For my Project we have to solve a problem through communicating, using computers. The problem could be anything; the main ideas are openings of clubs. For example communicating to people, through computer means, about a new opening of, say a new football club. This is not the only choice though; you could just make a presentation, for say pupils who are starting secondary school, telling them about the secondary school, its teachers, and the facilities. We have to communicate ideas to a decided audience, it could be advertising, or simply information presented in either a presentation, or website.

Chosen Idea

The problem, which I have chose, is that a company wants to make more Kung–fu clubs around London because they feel that the area is not exactly safe for children to go out by themselves, and so children need to learn how to defend themselves.

The company needs to get information around about the new fighting clubs opening.

If I had to get information around about this club I could make a PowerPoint presentation about the club, and than make interviews with a group of people, by presenting my presentation. I could also make a poster on Microsoft publisher, giving details and small amounts of information. If this is to brief I could make a leaflet or flyers, also on publisher and hand them out to people. If this does not work I could make a questionnaire, on Microsoft word, asking about if they need a certain club made around their area. I could spend some time on making a web site about this club, giving all information and details on it.

The easiest way is to email a friend about this club and tell them about it, I could than ask him to forward this mail to at least five other people, and so make an Internet chain.

E-mail in many peoples mind is the best way to communicate to each other this is because of many reasons. It is very quick if you are connected to an Internet server and many others it is free and instant once you have sent your e-mail it has been delivered to destination that you sent it to. In many ways Electronic Mail is the most important part of the Internet as it allows people to communicate almost instantly with others around the world.

E-mail is an asynchronous method of communication because the mail takes time to be sent from one place to another, unlike the telephone, but it allows very fast communication of ideas around the world; it allows people to send a message to more than one person.

Full Description Of Task

The audience is obviously the children, ranging from ages of about 13-19. This is because the kung-fu club is being made for them, but children are not the only people who are going to be interested in what’s going on, the parents will wont to know what is the starting times and finishing times. They would also want to know where the clubs are situated and so I will have to put all the information a parent would want to know in my Web site and other communicating methods as well.

The data that will be contained in my problem, the kung fu club, will be information like why are we making this club, who is it being aimed at, when will it open, what are the opening and closing times, and finally where are they going to be situated.  

I will need to write out some questionnaires, for research. I will ask about there personal details, like name, address, telephone number, etc. most importantly though I will ask about how they feel about a new kung-fu club opening. I will ask if they are interested, if they know anyone else that might be interested, if they have practised kung fu and if they have, then for how long?

By asking these questions I will find out about how many people are interested in this idea, and if we are dealing with amateurs or professionals. I also asked how much they were willing to pay and when they can attend the club. By asking this sort of questions I will get a rough idea about how much I should charge and what times I should start and finish the classes.

ANALYSIS

Research

To find out how many people will be interested in the new kung-fu club I had to made some questionnaires, for my research, and gave them to ten different people to answer.

Important questions about times when people can attend classes are asked so that the answers for these questions can be used to suit the timetable for the kung fu club. Also questions about past experience is asked so that teachers know at what level they can teach the students. Whether it is at an intermediate stage or rookie stage. Also by handing out these questionnaires we will find out how many people are interested in becoming members of the club, so that we know how big our classes will be and how many students we will have.

Also for my research I will be looking at other websites about kung fu clubs in the UK. The next two pages are two different sites, which I have found from the Internet. I have annotated them, showing the good points and bad points of the websites, and what I will be putting into my website.

The first web page I have found and annotated has more good points than the second one has, and it has less bad points. So this first one should attract more members as it is better presented and will attract all the viewers. It has more colour, a better layout, and pictures, which should interest the viewers. The second one has too much text, which will bore the readers.
