All pages are estimated to take more than 10 seconds to download over a 28 kbps modem, with the longest

being SequenceB3.html at 79 seconds.


Access will be either:a) At work via TBIT’s administration

networkb) From home with a recommended

broadband internet connectionc) On a TBIT laptop with a locally

installed copy of the tutorials


3 guinea pigs tested the site:

General observations1. What is the first thing you notice on the site?2. Which items on the page do you think are

clickable?3. What do you expect to find behind a link?


Activities1. How do you set the automatic focus on the

digital camera?2. What is the name of one of the web sites for

tips on taking great photos?3. Which Photoshop tool is useful for removing

the background of a photo?4. What formatting option in Word can you use to

get text to wrap around a photo?5. What must be done prior to installing the

Interactive Whiteboard software on a computer?

6. How often should the “interactive calibration” be performed?



Tried to click

on buttons not

available yet -

grey out these

buttons.


Tried to click on

“Video” button -

change question

to specify “digital

camera”.


Tried to click

on description

on Images intro page – add links.


Had trouble

finding useful

tips – add to

description on

intro page.


Suggested a

print version would be

useful – add.


No problems so far.


Change “Part B

Connect to

laptop” link to

“Part B Connect

whiteboard to laptop”.


Also suggested the top

navigation links

would look

better centred.


No problems.

Colleen suggested I add a Voki animation instead of this swap image I had drawn...


... Well it’s hard drawing with a mouse!
