Prioritizing Research
Question 1:
What websites are available to me in order to develop the website?
Why do you need this information?
The reason as to why I would need to research the types of softwares and programs that are available within my skill range in order to make a website, is for two main things.
Firstly, one of the programs that I will choose will be one of the ones that I will be utilizing when making my own website, thus assuring that I will be able to have a clear understanding of what this program already does.
Secondly, by researching a range of different softwares, I am able to compare them to each other, and choose which one I am able to use based on the complexity of the program, as well as the quality it can produce to my website.
How will you obtain this information?
Secondary Source
The way that I will be obtaining this information is through searching on the Internet, and looking for the programs official website by checking the authors and publishers of said website.
The reason as to why I would want to look into the programs official website is because of how it will give me access to a variety of information, such as the quality that their program can create, as well as who has made it which will lead into me deciding as to the complexity of it. Additionally, some websites will have a separate page/tab/link which will present to me on how to use the program, thus further having an impact on whether or not I will choose it.

What information are you looking for?
I am looking for a variety of programs/software which will help me create a professional website on the Internet, and will start to look into its functions (through possible tutorials on how to use the program), its quality output (based on possible previous website designs), as well as who uses it. These factors will then help me determine which one I am going to choose when designing and developing my own website.
Question 2:
How do you make a successful informative website?
Why do you need this information?
The reason as to why I would need to understand on how to make a successful informative website is because of two main reasons.
Firstly, because the targeted audience that my website will be utilized and presented to is the IB Curriculum Grade 11's, the standard that my website needs to have is of top quality. By researching on how to design a successful informative website, I am then able to understand during the manufacturing process how I am able to create a website that is of a professional standard and one that is usable towards the Grade 11 students.
Secondly, it will provide me some general tips on how to create a website which will be successful. With these tips and key components to an informative website being researched, I am able to be aware of the both the general as well as the small details when I do begin to design my own website, thus making my product highly successful
How will you obtain this information?
Primary Source
Because the product that I will be creating is a website, which involves technology and possibly coding, I will be interviewing Mr. Matthew Steel on the what are some of the key components to an informative website.
Secondary Source
Another way that I will be able to obtain this information in an effective and efficient manner is through searching on the Internet. This includes quotations and general tips and possibly tricks about the softwares that I am going to utilize within the previous question.
Primary Source
The reason I would want to interview Mr. Matthew Steel is because of how experienced he is with how to develop a successful informative website, as well as he could give me some key criteria which should be met when making the website.
Secondary Source
The reason as to why I would want to research on the Internet is because I am then able to be exposed to multiple trusted authors who have made successful informative websites before. With this idea of then having a wider variety of people whom are reliable at designing a professional standard website, I am then able to find out some quotes these websites might have of them providing tips as well as key components.
What information are you looking for?
I am mainly looking for information that regards to the way to make a successful website. This is done in the sense at looking on how to create a professional design, what things I need to incorporate within my website in order to fully make my viewer understand on my topic, as well as any other tips on how to further enhance my website's quality (both visually and functionality).
Question 3:
What are the types of IB Computer Science courses that I can choose?
Why do you need this information?
The reason as to why I would need to research the type of Computer Science courses that are available in the IB Curriculum i because I need to understand the type subject's material before I am able to collect it's information.
Through understanding the material, I am then able to choose a variety of specific courses from the subject and then be able to research it more effectively since I have already been introduced to the course previously. Additionally, it will make the organization of information much more easier due to how I would understand how each information that I have gathered correlates and links to one another.
How will you obtain this information?
Secondary Source
I will be researching the different Computer Science courses under the IB Curriculum through researching on websites, specifically ones that are approved by the IB department, and documents that was made by it.
Through researching the information about IB Computer Science courses, I am able to collect information on what it will provide towards it students. Additionally, websites usually provide documents as well as many other course material that could be directly made or approved by the IB Curriculum, which makes the information much more reliable.
Websites Used:
https://ib.compscihub.net
https://www.ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/curriculum/sciences/computer-science/
What information are you looking for?
For this question I will be researching the different types of Computer Science courses falling under the IB Curriculum category, and looking into the each of the course's materials and choosing ones that will be able to link to each other (developing a concrete theme) as well as choosing ones who I am confident I will be able to collect high quality information from a variety of sources.
Question 4:
Analyzing Products
Why do you need this information?
The reason as to why I would need to analyze a variety of websites is do to how it will give me information into how to successfully design my own website, while also giving me ways to further enhance my final product.
Through analyzing the website's negatives and improvements (these will be based on the results gathered on Question 2), I will be able to utilize this information in order to understand how to make my website successful.
Additionally, I will also be comparing the websites to each resulting in me finding out what common aspects website developers put onto their product. This then allows me to understand what my product is expected to contain, and have that information included.
How will you obtain this information?
Secondary Source
The way that I will be able to obtain this information is through researching on the Internet a variety of other websites that focuses on the topic of Computer Science, as well as look into how they both organize their information as well as the quality of it.
The reason as to why I would want to research this question by looking on the Internet is due to how it is the most effective way to access a variety of websites. Additionally, I am able to collect a wide range of information that relates back to to the topic Computer Science
Finally, I chose to specifically analyze websites that contain information correlating to the topic Computer Science. The reason for this is it allows me to analyze and obtain data and the PMI's of a product in which is the same as to what I am doing.
This then leads to me applying the information I have gathered from the analysis of these website and being able to implement it into my own website therefore making it more successful.
