3. Purpose
Developing on-line sustainability map of Illinois State University’s campus
Environmental assets
Academic programs
Community integration
Clickable links to further display information
History
Faculty and student research
Volunteer opportunities
Financial value
-Bennett

4. Plan Of Execution Performed project based upon agile methodology
Many applications and web platforms map could be built on
Unsure at first what was important to display on the map
Turning project over to Administrative Technology
-Kyle
-Agile is a software development technique that excels in conditions of uncertainty. We managed the needs of the product as we went along and made changes to it .

5. Our Starting Point Stakeholder analysis Developed user stories
Current Students
Prospective Students
Faculty and Staff
Developed user stories
Helped us set goals and remain on track to complete project
Held meeting with Administrative Technology
Familiarized ourselves and learned technology platform
Established a “Definition of Done”
Looked at other university sustainability maps to develop a vision
-Kyle & Bennett

6. Definition Of Done
“A proof of concept that depicts sustainable assets on a web-based platform that could easily be accessible through Illinois State University’s domain.”
-Kaycee

7. Stakeholder Research Office of Admissions Visitor Surveys
Horticulture was a stand-out quality on campus
Held stakeholder interviews
Horticulture
Energy efficiency in academic buildings
Dining Centers
Located GIS (Geographic Information System Points)
Developed of Excel databases to organize data about GIS coordinates
-Kaycee and Bennett

8. Basis For Map Development
Held interview with Administrative Technology
Link Google Maps to the Illinois State University domain
Create a data structure (i.e. database) called JSON
Incorporate GIS points
Google Maps JavaScript API
Create scripting that processes data into Google Maps API
-Kyle

9. Building A Compatible Map
Developed prototype throughout the project
Ensured a successful and complete project at the end
Picture prototype to a technical prototype
Were unsure how to code and create the scripting
Tutorials through Google’s Developer Tools
Attempted to deliver project that could easily be transferred to Administrative Technology
Housed as its own separate map on the Illinois State University website
-Kyle

10. Challenges Where to start
What platforms to utilize
Key points of contact
Data was not structured and all over the place
Time constraint
Learn a new coding language
-Bennett

11. Result
Proof of concept of how data would be displayed through Google Maps
Visualization
Created separate Excel document for certain sustainability asset categories
Organization
Consolidation
Created a document for Missy to request sustainability assets every-so-often
Acquiring
