EdTec - Online Session 4

Three people took part. One was a professor of Office Systems Department with knowledge on multimedia design but not in the subject. The other two were engineers (mechanical and chemical) with some experience with electric circuits but not in multimedia design.

All three users indicated that the purpose of the site was immediately clear from the home page. They said that the navigation was easy and all chose the right link. They liked the colors and the photos. One of them couldn't open the movies because didn't have QuickTime Player installed in her computer. Another one got lost when external links were selected. At first, she thought that these pages were part of the site. Also she selected the external links for the review exercises and they were not working.

The three users navigated through all the pages of the site. All were satisfied with the design, external links and information provided.

All were satisfied with the font size. The two people that saw the current and voltage measurement movies were impressed and very enthusiastic with the site.

• Improve the procedure to construct a series circuit.
• Include the equations describing a series circuit.
• Provide the opportunity to download QuickTime Player.
• Provide a direct link to the color code resistance calculator.
• Check the addresses for the external links.
  

I do not foresee including the procedures for all the laboratory sessions at this moment. This recommendation and animations to simulate laboratory practice are beyond the scope of the site. They are considered for a future project.
