Week 12: Distribution of Multimedia Courseware

::27112012::
 
Form my understanding; this topic is about how the application will be distributed. It supposed to be thought during the development progress..

According to En Juhazreen, there are 2 things:

i)                    Technology and Method
ii)                   Marketing Strategy
Sufficiency and efficiency (cukup dan cekap) factor must be considered for multimedia distribution.

1)      Multimedia courseware distribution needs high capacity storage media. For example:

• magneto-optical disks (CDROM / DVD / BluRay)
• Flash storage
• Networks

2)      Advantages:

• Boleh dibawa kemana-mana
• Murah
• Boleh di duplicate
• Boleh diletak security
• Storage yang besar (BluRay)

3)      Disadvantages:

Network- Need internet connection

***En Juhazren also shared about new technology; cloud computing (same like network). According to the article that he read, flash drive will pupus during 2013-2015. It is because people will save their things on the cloud/network

4)      Marketing Strategy

·         How to market?

-From testimonial

-collaboration with certain parties. For example, the developer of CD courseware for Mathematics Year 6 collaborates with the book suppliers.

      ·         Where to start?

 

·         What to be considered?

-Price

-Target audience

 ·         After sales?

 

5) Marketing Plan

 
 

 
Next class!!
-think of any issues that arise during the courseware development

Week 11: Evaluation and Testing...more

Week 9 : Presentation Prototype

::06112012::

Today are the prototype presentation.

Some of the comments we received were:

• Reduce the use of sentences.
• The color of bg was too bright
• The font size was too small for certain page.
• The bg ''field" is not suitable

After the other groups presented their prototype, I got some idea to improve our project:-

• Button that show u current location/page
• meaningful icon/button...button with meaningful icon
• for drag n drop: if student drag the wrong answer, it cant drop
• Button that show the current number of activities
• animated button
• insert sound for instruction/ tell some notes

InshaAllah...we will improve our project after this

Week 8: What is???

continued..........

What is?

Usability= how easy and pleasant these features are to use

Utility= whether it providesnthe features u need

Useful=usability + utility

Learnability= able to learn.(bagaimana mudah sesuatu itu)

Memorability=ex;home normally for main menu, question mark for information, arrow for next/back

Week 8: Testing & Evaluation

::30102012::

Testing

• Pengujian.
• is crucial
• To test whether the system works or not.
• To test whether the specification works as designed
• Matching the criteria that can be evaluated;to see the its performance
• See the checklist, whether it meets/fulfill the criteria or not

Evaluation

• Penilaian
• Too see larger view than testing
• Evaluate as a whole
• For improvement

So how to test the design?
--> Using test plan
=provide a checklist that consist of all functionality in the system/program
=find a potentially serious problem

To identify error/ralat, must have a test plan. Types of errors:

1.Design Flaws
-Information
Interaction
-Visual

2. Content Errors
-inaccuracies
-data of poor quality (photo image quality, text mispelling)

3. System defects (called bugs)
-broken link


Types of testing

• Content
• Usability
• Functionality
• Layout
• Link

Test Usability

= is a technique used in user-centered interaction design to evaluate a product by testing it on users
= focuses on measuring a human-made product's capacity to meet its intended purpose
= can focus to the profesional
= also can be focus to our target audience
