I finally have access to the WAS dev site. Yippeee!
After many emails back and forth between me, my site supervisor and the IT department at WAS, I am finally able to access the as yet unreleased dev site from my home computer! We were trying for access both from home and work, but I'll take what I can get. I think either way would have had pros and cons. During the week, I am definitely more productive if I just stay late at school and work on grad school things in my classroom. On the weekends, I am much more likely to be productive at home than I am to drag myself into work. Regardless, I am thrilled that I can at least access the site from somewhere!
My site supervisor and I didn't have a chance to meet this weekend since she had to deal with some family stuff, so my goal is to have the first video created and ready to show her by our meeting next weekend. I am sure she will have tons of valuable feedback to give me so I want to get this first tutorial done as quickly as possible so that I have lots of time to make adjustments and can also use her feedback to guide the creation of additional videos.
I'm still a bit curious when the site will go live since "late February/early March" was mentioned and we're nearing on the middle of the month. It no longer matters as much, but I'd still be interested to see the site live. My access provides me with the ability to use all the new features that will be added, but it doesn't actually look any different so I guess I'm a bit confused by that. Something to ask my supervisor next week...
I'm looking forward to actually getting into the video creation part of this internship (that's what drew me to it in the first place!) and to be catching up on my hours. What a relief!
