Good News/Bad News
On Friday, Paul dropped in the FLCC Marketing Department to
let them know about our Capstone Project and to find out what they needed us to
do to be in compliance with the school’s standards – basically getting their
blessing. He came back to class with the
bad news: The College had already hired an outside company to put together a
virtual tour app and it is getting ready to launch soon. Great minds think alike, I guess.
So, was the project dead in the water? Not exactly.
Heidi Marcin, the Director of Marketing, had some ideas for us. The three of us met to discuss the options
and which project would be most valuable to the college. We decided to create an additional virtual
campus tour, in the same style as the one being launched in Canandaigua, but
ours would be of the Victor Campus. This
was actually great news and a much more manageable project because the semester
is moving along and our time to complete the project is getting shorter and
shorter.
We are meeting with Tracy Archie at the Victor Campus this Thursday morning to discuss moving
forward.
Also, Heidi discussed using this story - a New Media Student
creating a utility that the college can use even after graduation – as a
marketing piece for the college. That’s
pretty exciting!
Stay tuned!
Hey- when making your app...Don't forget the PARKING. This is the hardest thing when you are new to the campus. Do I need to pay? What if all the visitor spots are filled? Can I park in any lot? Of course I am running late... It seems simple but when you are entering into this new adventure at the college it is best to be very clear as to where you need to go...starting from the entrance to the campus.
ReplyDeleteHighlighting the parking lots was one of the alternative projects that was suggested. Heidi in the Marketing Department wanted us to concentrate on the Victor campus for this project. However, I wouldn't be surprised if parking lot maps/tours aren't in the works pretty soon.
