Once accepted, the "AOL IM Message screen display" was very rapid. While watching the activity in the main screen, I wasn't able to keep up with the messages that prompted below. Took several times to go back and read them. - Consultant |
1st Prototype (LDT)
- The animations were too fast.
- No context.
- Pathogen should be more noticeable.
- A lot to read in the Message window.
- Did not know what to do.
2nd Prototype (High School Students, Consultants, and LDT Faculty)
- The animations were too fast.
- Agent was confusing.
- Timer was annoying.
- The cells should come out of the cell button.
- Hard to read the messages and keeping an eye on the "playing field".
- People using Macs had a hard time opening the web file.
3rd Prototype (Content Experts)
- There were some content discrepancies, for example, lysosome was not accurately portrayed.
It (SimGerm 1.0) is very beneficial in the sense that it gives you that information and by choosing that it reinforces that. I know that the first thing that comes in now is the macrophage and not the Helper T. - High School Student |
- Provide more definitions (e.g. interleukin 1 and 2).
- Clarify/reword some text descriptions.
- A formal assessment is scheduled for next week.
- The plan is to have 9 people divided into groups of 3.
- The first group will read a page of text on CD4/CD8 and take a test.
- The second group will go through the simulation and take a test.
- The last group will read the page of text, go through the simulation, and take a test.
- Hypothesis: The group reading the text will perform better than the group going through the simulation; however, the group reading the text and going through the simulation will perform the best.
