Tori          Working Knowledge

This working knowledge is a collaboration of articles about urban farming, how to create a feasibility study, background information about SEED Wayne, and information on successful websites/ website projects.  We will use this to give us a good foundation for our project so we do not start researching a subject we know nothing about.  When it comes to writing our feasibility study we will not necessarily use any of it in a specific part of the report but it will be a foundation for the entire report.

Everything can be compared in today's world. That is what is used to measure a certain standard on how things get done and how effectively they get done. This will be crucial to our feasibility report I think. We are going to gather as much useful information from other university urban gardening websites to check out different things like layout, design, and ideas to see what works and what doesn't. This research will help us focus on certain areas to help improve and the benefits of improving these areas.

This in my opinion will be the meat of our persuasiveness.  After all, it is the entire purpose of our report.  These sources show us the benefits of a properly created website, the minimal costs, and provide an understanding of why it is important to communities and the organizations image and goals.  The information will help us provide credibility and help us persuade SEED to change their website.  This may also lead us to an obvious choice, leading to a proposal.
