Great evaluation Martin. Very pleased to see all the HE elements categorized and rated. The one big thing I would change is to ensure that when you video you include a screen capture of the actual thing you are evaluating, e.g. in this case the balsamiq app. Where you using ScreenCast-O-Matic? That makes it easy to capture face and screen at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHowever you did extremely well to review all the existing evaluations first - that's really commendable. You're continuing to do great work - really looking forward to your JokeAround app!
