Last exchange

Ive enjoyed giving and getting feedback on my groups  assignments. I really enjoyed hearing ans seeing how Sydeney's textiles progressed with her focus on fabric for blind people and how she progressed. I also liked giving feedback to Annabelles refugee fashion assignment , her and i stayed after class and i helped her with her instruction booklet f or her garments that would be given to refugees in order to make her clothing.

I gave her heaps of feedback from a VCD perspective and helped her create visual hiearchies and help her work make more sense beacuse it has no writing or numbers beacus its meant to be able to be understood by people from any language but me and another vcd student discussed wit her that some of her symbols seemed decorative and wern clear enough to be read as instrucions



The feedback i recieved was to perhaps use diff types of monsters fro diff users so there would be a parent set of monsters and a set for the teen instead of the same lot for each

Another girl suggested dumb ways to die as an inspiration

Monsters

after some very delayed thinking we came to a resolution that we involve characters at this point theyre currently monsters that represent the modds in which you choose at each time you use the app. This deveelopment :
Makes the app mmore fun and lively

Creates a more sustained relationship as the people involved will get notififations saying theyre monster is unwell and some more lessonms need to be done
e.g the health relies on the amount of driving

(if they start to decline in the use of the app beacuse i means they arent practising driving as much( Through our research we noted that if lessons and learning arent sustained and consistent the progress made deteriorates with the longer lengths of not practising.)



Offers a chance to connect with others and shares the progress of their monster and their monsters rewards , this can be shared on socual media and people can compete and compare against eachother creating friendly rivalry between peers.

Interim and crit 2

From this we gainmed knowledge that all our elemtnes were there but it just wasnt fun enough and we got some relly good feedback from one of the people vistiting from Life Hack called Marea who gave us some insights based on her own expereinces and addressed who ownneeds as a parent trying to teach her teenage son to drive and that we should chnage our map and location focus from the star of our ap joumey into being  objective focussed i.e i only want to practice stop signs today and so the app will automatically map out a route for you around your current location or to wherew you would like to go with the most stop  signs
