Feedback on my prototype

Yesterday's online session was a lot more comfortable.  I had a much better feel for adobe connect and what to check if something wasn't working.

In terms of my prototype.  The questions/feedback around the theoretical aspects was really important.  I need to firm that up and make it a more inclusive component.  I think this question is also getting me to look more critically at some of my ideas and search the literature more deeply.  Feels like I'm move from a sledgehammer solution to something closer to a scalpel approach.  I also need to explicitly address:
  • How will it work?
  • How does it address the learning problem?
What also came out was that I was not 100% sold on the wiki. When doing this I realised I need to know more about the affordances of some of the other possible tools.  I stuck very closely with the descriptions from Bower but after yesterday I feel I need to refine some of the affordance descriptions he used in example.  So this area needs some rework.  I also need to explore wiki options for mathematics!

What was interesting as well was that when listening to others present and the questions asked, I started relating those questions to my own prototype. I guess since we are all working on a prototype that is to be expected!

I've decide on who to ask for formative feedback.  Looks like I'm looking at 3 colleagues as I no longer have any students.  Need to update my prototype tonight and get it to them for the weekend! :-)

Also my replies to comments.

  1. why dont you ask Roisin for feedback? I am sure her experiences with the Anatomy wiki might be very useful for your own project...

    1. Have asked for feedback from her. Got good detailed feedback with questions and comments based on her experience. So far many of the comments echo my deep concerns.
