Looking to the future

The biggest problem I've seen from working on the guide so far is that there is not much room for change. Once you build it, it may be hard to describe how to change something to someone who has no idea how to work around websites. While right now the website is fine, there are things that may need to be changed in the coming years. I know I would not want to keep coming back to the same website over and over again.

Outcomes

Employ and justify user-centered approaches to technical communication.

This is the approach I would say that I have comes closest to what I have done. I have wanted to focus on bringing new information to people that focuses on them personally. This is evident in the website we just completed, freshmen helpers. It is designed and focused to concentrate on freshmen and their needs specifically.  being able to focus on the user is important to understand because once you know what they need it becomes easier to help them.

Users

Since our users are freshmen at Texas tech, they will mainly be 18 years old. A majority of the new students will also be inexperienced in there knowledge of Lubbock. Our purpose is to educate them in the diverse culture of Lubbock and all that it has to offer. We want to deliver them all the information that we feel that they may need in their time here at tech. While they may know what they want to major and classes to take, college life is much more expansive than just school. We want to offer them the full college experience, so that they may enjoy everything that tech offers.
