Choose the Version of the  Assignment

This assignment replaces the Recommendation Report assignment. If your group prefers, you can do the Recommendation Report instead, but you must let Traci know of your choice by April 11.

Choose the version of the assignment you prefer. The requirements are the same. The two versions are meant to help with students who have different needs. Regardless of which your group chooses, you’ll turn in your assignment here.

No matter which version of the assignment, read the Writing an Effective Fact Sheet infographic for details on what to include.

Both versions use the following scenario:

You work as a Usability Consultant at Maroon + Orange Digital, where I (Traci) serve as a Founding Owner and the Director of Project Development. Your client is the person responsible for the website your group selected.

The client has asked you to evaluate their website and create educational materials to help employees improve it. You’ll prepare a set of short, easy-to-read fact sheets that explain specific principles, show how they apply to the current site, and suggest improvements.

AI Guidelines for Both Versions

Allowed Use of AI

You can use Copilot or another Generative AI tool of your choice on this project in any of the ways listed under the question “What can I use AI for in this course?” in the Course Policies Manual. Be sure to save the responses AI gives you. 

Prohibited Use of AI

You cannot ask AI to write or revise your drafts or final submissions for you. Doing so directly violates the Cheating and Plagiarism sections of the Virginia Tech Honor Code.
