C-CS

History of the C-CS site

NOTE	:Although I authored all of the early entries, I expect to announce developments by other contributors once the site has some basic content that invites commentary and textual additions.


August, 2007	Toward the end of August, I paused work on Communication as a Cognitive Science as the fall semester approached and mapped out the introduction to the Analyses section and a configuration segment in the Configuring section, planning to compose them as "readings" in my two courses. In mid-August David Downing & Richard Doherty reviewed the website and offered suggestions which I incorporated into the site. Early in August, I began drafting the entries for the Communication as a Cognitive Science section.
July, 2007	By the end of July, the Comm&Cog entries were drafted. As I composed the entries to Comm&Cog, I made several design additions: footnotes, abstracts, and snippets (having upgraded to Adobe Creative Suite 3. In mid-July, I began work on the Communication and Cognition section of C-CS. I added the projects section after talking to Jordan Stalker about a C-CS project. In early July, the glossary and correlative works cited page were brought up to date. The illustration, examples, appendices, and this section of the site were added as I needed them to complement the glossary and works cited.
June, 2007	Having reconstructed the C-CS site using CSS, I began to introduce content into the presentation layout. The first content area was the glossary which had been adopted from earlier course based web sites.
May, 2007	Reading up on current web design, I recognized that the C-CS site needed to be built based on CSS. So I began learning the CSS code.
March, 2007	Realizing that frames were regarded as problematic for a site open to the public rather than a course specific site, I recreated the layout of the C-CS site based on tables over Spring Break.
January, 2007	The first version of C-CS was based on frames (the technique I had been using in web sites I built several years before). It was built prior to the begriming of the spring semester at UIC. At this juncture, I decided to abandon plans to publish my work on "configuring" as a book in favor of publishing it on the web structured as a collaborative site.

October, 2006

The first incarnation of the C-CS site was as a power-point presentation I gave to the Department of Communication at UIC entitled, "The Potential Implications of Recent Developments in Cognitive Science for the Study of Communication." This talk was based on work on cognitive science and interpersonal communication that I had done during my sabbatical year which was initially formatted as a book manuscript.
