Agenda:
1) Progress of the online journal

Progress of online journal

1) As Mr Ang have asked for the journal URL to be given to him by Friday, we decided to have a meeting to discuss the progress of our online journal and how we can improve it further since it will be graded.

1.1) After reviewing the articles as well as research done, we realised that our points were very scattered. Even though we were supposed to do a specific part according to the Scope of Research (minutes of meeting 2), many articles and research will have more than 1 point in them. Thus, we decided to collate these points together, as well as answer the questions from the scope of research, and add any extra information if needed. Subsequently, after someone has posted her article or research, she will edit the post and add on the the collated points. Hence, the whole journal would look more organised.

1.1.1) Jiali will be collating points 1 and 2 from the Scope of Research (Minutes of meeting 2). Joan will be collating points 3.1 and 5, and Marie will be collating points 3.2.

1.2) We realiesd that most of our annotations in articles or reseach do not follow a specific format i.e. Marie and Joan were posting the whole article with the annotations, as well as a summary of their annotations on the blog. However, Jiali summarised her main points and just posted the main points. In the end, we reached an agreement that we would leave it as it is, and leave the authors to format the blog for themselves, as different people would have different preferences. Furthermore, the format of the post would not affect the quality of the research.

1.3) We have also decided to extend all the datelines so that it would fall on the same date. The datelines for all 4 points would be on 25 April as we thought that more articles might surface given a longer period of time.

1.4) Jiali reminded everyone that the font colour should not blend in with the skin of the blog, as problems might arise when the words cannot be seen clearly.
