The Process
In this lesson of the WCWC tutorial, you will learn...
- To understand how the Webucator authoring process is managed.
Constituents
There are usually three people involved in the authoring process:
- Author
- Editor
- Project Manager (PM)
In most cases, the author or the editor will be the first person to deliver the course.
Versioning System
All course files are stored in a subversion repository at http://svn.webucator.com/svn/Category.
The Process
Each constituent is responsible for specific deliverables, which are laid out in a spreadsheet containing project specific milestones and timeline.
The process is most easily understood by laying out the deliverables for a five-day course:
Deliverables
| Deliverable | Description | Constituent |
|---|---|---|
| Complete outline |
Text format. Must include:
|
Author |
| Review Outline | Must agree that complete outline is appropriate. | Editor |
| Sign off | PM signs off on deliverable. | PM |
| Course Skeleton | All shell lesson files created with titles, h1s, h2s, and placeholders for demos and exercises. (Examples of Demo and Exercise placeholders are shown after this table.) The ClassFiles structure must also be built out. | Author |
| Build File | Build file created and first build should be run. | Author |
| Review of Build | Build reviewed and compared to text outline. Editor agrees that Skeleton build matches Complete outline and that the demos and exercises are appropriate. | Editor |
| Sign off | PM signs off on deliverable. | PM |
<p>A demo showing how to write a for loop</p>
<div class="Exercise"> <h1>Looping</h1> <p>An exercise to practice creating a for loop.</p> </div>
