Dear Students:
Today you are going to generate ideas for the requirements of a computer-based system that is described in a document of a client who wants to improve the SIR JOHN A MACDONALD HIGH SCHOOL website http://sja.ednet.ns.ca/index.html.
You are going to use the power-only EPMcreate technique as the creativity fostering technique to generate your ideas.
The power-only EPMcreate technique consists of 5 mini brainstorming sessions. In each mini session, you will pretend to think from the viewpoints of two stakeholders(roles/users) STUDENT and PARENT, and for each pair of viewpoints, you will follow the steps 0-4 that are explained in the table below
Try to produce as many as possible, don’t evaluate any idea, and don’t inhibit anyone from participating. 
You have only two hours to carry out the steps, but you may end your session earlier if all of you agree that no more ideas are forthcoming.
