update prototype
Okay I made a Power Point presentation with information about business emails that I can try out. I just need to make some good quiz questions to test how the information is accepted by my user. When I look back to the jobs I had in high school, I always got hooked up by someone I knew, so I know this networking idea can really help people, its all about referrals to get you in the door.
Here’s my announcement for quiz time at the end of my prototype, this allows me to give them a pen and paper test instead of an interactive computer test, which was too complicated. I also ask for their comments and suggestions at the end of the quiz to see how they liked the “Tom story”, the way the information was presented and what resources they would like to see on a teen workers website.
I wish I feedback on my design concept to go off of for suggestions on the prototype but soon I guess. I looked online for a way to test people and found this “Metacognition” test to see what kind of learner I am and you know what was interesting?
Your Learning Style Test Results
Visual Learner
36%
Tactile Learner
35%
Auditory Learner
29%
I’m all THREE! I tried to keep this in mind in my prototype to include pictures and metaphors, and examples to help learners soak in the information. This is what the site said about visual learners, which I was not surprised to figure out is my strongest tactic:
Visual Learners:
• use visual materials such as pictures, charts, maps, graphs, etc.
• have a clear view of your teachers when they are speaking so you can see their body language and facial expression
• use color to highlight important points in text
• take notes or ask your teacher to provide handouts
• illustrate your ideas as a picture or brainstorming bubble before writing them down
• write a story and illustrate it
• use multi-media (e.g. computers, videos, and filmstrips)
• study in a quiet place away from verbal disturbances
• read illustrated books
• visualize information as a picture to aid memorization
So these suggestions help me figure out how to use visuals in my prototype, especially the write a story and illustrate it, which is exactly what I did.
I also found a great resource for administering tests online that 544 students can maybe use next year, but it does cost:
