EXERCISE: Meta Sites

Two exercises are planned after todays lecture.

  1. Search the web for material that can support you in the start-up of your project work. Classify the 'sites' you find regarding what domain they cover, what level of information they contain (superficial - deep) and how complete you believe the information provided is.
    Save the results in your project file.

  2. Plan what IT resources you need to support your project work (communication/collaboration tools) and the project work/results documentation.
