 Thanks so much Robin, What a lot of work! Enjoy the rest of the day...I hope! See you for the presentation jeannette

Hello again, >  I think the final changes have been made – unless someone notices anything else. > That linking to the Work log page thing was weird, Jeannette. When trying to insert a hyperlink I continued to get the ‘page doesn’t exist’ message. Yet, when I pasted the same link in the document it worked. I’ve just inserted the link as is rather than linking to the text and now it works ... Weird. > I changed the ‘Home’ page of the wiki to reflect only our final copies – hopefully Michele will find it easy to navigate and to locate needed files. > I think that’s it! > Have a great day everyone! > Robin

 Thanks Jeannette. R

Great Robin!  The paper is fabulous

 Okay, here is the ‘final, final’ (perhaps) version. Let me know of any issues. Thanks, Robin

Thanks, Jeannette. I changed the direct quote to: As Preece, Rogers, & Sharp (2002) note, using the DECIDE framework helps to identify the necessary steps for successful studies. As it is not a direct quote, no page reference is needed. Vanita – the quote is not on p. 438 – this page has two graphic images on it and the only text is a description of the graphics – no worries – we’ve solved it with the above change. I’ll re-do the link, Jeannette – don’t know what’s up with that as I believe I just copied and pasted. Thanks for checking carefully. I’ll send out the revised docs when I am done. Robin

 hI Jeannette, The reference is from the page mentioned on (left side-at the bottom.. )There is a large section further on, however it staqrts from there. I don't have the book handy to recheck since I am at school. Thanks, Vanita

Hi all, Sorry to mention this, but is the page reference to the quote from the Preece, Sharp, Rogers book, on the DECIDE process, page 438, correct?I couldn’t see the match up here. The large section on the DECIDE process is pp.624-643, but so far I haven’t located Vanita’s actual quote....it’s probably me I know! And maybe it doesn’t matter anyway? Also, Robin, sorry to say this but the link to our Emails, Meetings Work Log is not correct...it says it is not created yet? Sorry to be bearer of further work... Thanks all for amazing work Talk soon Jeannette > 

 Sorry Robin, You already stated that you were going to post and send all...it’s late, what can I say? Goodnight JJ

 HI Jeannette, I'm now reading the pdf on a pc, so no need to resend. I wonder what gives with my mac?? Robin

 Hi everyone, I think that the work log looks great, Jeannette – thanks for pulling it together. I am attaching the final version (perhaps) of the paper – I included your suggestions, Jeannette, and yes, I could read them, so thank you. I will also post the paper in the wiki. Let me know if you notice anything missing. Thanks. Robin

 Wow! Thanks Jeannette. Good luck for tomorrow. Eager to hear your great voice. See you Vanita

 Hi Jeannette, I don’t know why, but I cannot open your pdf. I get the message that the ‘file is damaged and could not be repaired’ - yikes, don’t you just love computers?? Will you please try saving your document again and re-sending? Thanks. Sorry about that. Robin

 I take that back – found it – I mean I take back my last email saying that I couldn’t find the pdf. I yi yi yi. I’m going to look at it now. Thanks, Robin

 Hi Jeannette, I’m afraid that I don’t know where you’ve posted the pdf of the paper with your suggestions – can you point me in the right direction? Thanks, Robin

Hi team, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have put is as much as I could remember, as well as emails I could find and the like, into our work log. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Please check for major omissions etc. I just can’t find anymore! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Good luck tomorrow y’all <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Looking forward to final read of paper...yahoo! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Ppt Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Mini Video Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Research Components Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Trouble Shooting Chris-work Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Flow of Navigation Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Mock-up of Device in use Great...Check <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> WOW! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi, Robin et al, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have read through the pdf copy and tried, I hope successfully, to annotate some small issues...hope that is okay and that you can see what I am meaning! (Pdf is attached) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Also, I found the reference in the Preece, Sharp, Rogers text, page 425, point #3, about ‘iterative design.” I think this was the reference we needed to support our research claims near the end? Hope this helps! There are several pages which encompass iterative design here. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> If you can, please let me know if the annotations are visible to you...not used pdf tool for this before <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //And the beat goes on,// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //Bye// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //Jeannette//

I have tried several ways, but can not view this video...even within the doc above...do you think Michele will be able to see it? I sure hope so! JJ It needed me to download a codec called divX ? Then, no problem viewing!

Here is the navigational flow framework so far! Please let me know what is missing or how far I need to go...I'm not even sure whether we need it at all! JJ http://www.mywebspiration.com/view/630653a27312

Looks great, as far as I can tell, Jeannette. Thanks for doing it! Sorry you had to try so many different approaches. R I'm going to add in the TAG system as well...okay?JJ

Hi team, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin, the italicized text you've added looks great, I like the section you've added on Research from apple and similar products.. ,It Looks great ! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks for compiling all the parts together. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Enjoy your trip! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Regards, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Vanita

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Robin, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I just downloaded a thing called DivX, a codec for Mac, and WAS able to see and hear movie!!! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Just sending as .mov didn’t seem to make any diff. so who knows why these things are? Anyway, DivX is the magic solution! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Yahoo! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Way to go, Jeannette! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> We should be okay for time then. Thanks for reading the doc. and the comments. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Could you view the .mov file? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">HI Robin, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I’ll read the text right now, so it will be done for your trip...enjoy by the way! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> The italicized section is brilliant, thanks for summing up from our chat yesterday! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I’ll see if I can find a good reference for us.... <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Also, I timed my reading, and it only took 4 minutes actually! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Jeannette

Hi all, Jeannette – the iphone didn’t have anything to do with ‘Bob’, so that’s not an issue. I’ll try to save it as a .mov and send it – see if that makes any difference. Thanks for the work on the flowchart – it looks great! I’m attaching the latest version of the paper. I still need to print and proof. Please let me know if you notice anything glaring. I’m sending it as a pdf as I’ve discovered that the images do indeed pop around and I don’t want to put them back in their places yet again. I added the italicized text below to the end of the research section – have a read and see what you think. Does it need to have some references? Suggestions welcome. //It is our intent to engage in an iterative design process in which feedback from users is gathered in an ongoing fashion and suggestions for improvement are quickly incorporated into the design. Feedback from users will be solicited through invitations on the download website as well as through mail-outs to registered users in the cloud architecture.// //To investigate the efficacy of the program and the success in meeting learner goals (i.e. learning appropriate social behaviours) our plan is to design a qualitative study in which the learning outcomes of individual children using the application are studied. Virti-Cue is based on empirical research (e.g. Apple, Billingsley, & Schwartz, 2005; Buggey, 2005; Litras, Moore, & Anderson, 2010; Maione & Mirenda, 2006) that reports on the success of video-self modeling - a process very similar to Virti-Cue, yet differing in that video-self-modeling, as it currently exists, requires users to incorporate a number of different types of hardware and software in order to create a finished product. Virti-Cue presents as an ‘all-in-one’ package, where all of the user’s video, photos, text, and audio components are captured and modified on one device.// I also added a wee bit under ‘Survey Log’ at the end – with links to the wiki for more information. If you have changes that you’d like or notice something wrong, please use the ‘annotate’ function in the pdf to insert your comments. As well, you could you the same feature to highlight the area of text that needs attention. I’ll print a copy and take it along for my car ride today. If I don’t hear from anyone regarding changes, I’ll make my changes and send the final version to you all tonight (which I’ll also do if I hear from you :-) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Enjoy the day, everyone. Thanks for all of your work. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

> <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Jeannette, > This movie thing has me puzzled. I’ve converted the .avi to a .mov – should be playable with quicktime. I used Quicktime pro to do the conversion – if you’re interested. > Let me know if you are able to play it. > Robin > (Actually, I think I’m losing tract of time and you did see the movie when we met Thursday evening – remember, the last two slides have my voice blasting?? Yikes.)

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi there, team <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin, the PPT is fabulous, great to have story notes on each slide...thanks for that. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> The Navigational Flow framework is as up to date as I have done. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Sadly, Robin, I still can’t view Bob’s movie on the laptop...I wonder if it’s some conversion thing to do with the iphone to laptop...who knows? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> However, thanks for sending it for a try! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I am in middle of adding any bits of email or meeting notes I can find on a new wiki page called meetings, emails work log...it’ll be there if Michele wants to know if we are keeping some sort of work log, anyway <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Is there anything else I need to do, think about, add to, complete or otherwise help??? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Anything else for tomorrow’s presentation? I will look at the final written piece when posted and do a check if needed? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks all <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette


 * Skype Conference Sat 6th Nov. 11:00**
 * Chris has added introduction and conclusion to the presentation for Monday
 * Vanita will start; Chris will introduce and recap our project; Jeannette will be storyteller for the User Case walk through; Chris will wrap up; Robin is tech. controller for the PowerPoint and VirtiCue jingle, and Bob's completed movie!
 * We practised reading through...need JJ to tighten up the reading time to 7 1/4 mins!
 * Robin will finish a few more edits to the PowerPoint and make sure we have script and slides synced up.
 * We read through and group edited new additions to the 'Paper" copy, and added in Vanita's section
 * The Survey Monkey will be linked in paper...graphics are difficult to transfer here.
 * The Navigational Flow Framework will be linked in paper...we don't think it's needed during the presentation?
 * Big discussion regarding the issues with public and private sharing of the completed social stories; if sharing to cloud we need to tighten up the acceptable use process and decide how this will be monitored; who will monitor? We can involve our user/adult population to monitor for any abuse of the system as well as use them to work the iterative design and development process; we could try using the blocking mechanisms via key words although this gets sticky...some things are blocked that are just fine! Maybe some combination? We would probably need an assigned person, however, to keep this well policed; our community of users do have to register, so we can remove an inappropriate video and revoke membership.
 * each of us has family that have and will be our users at the moment; we should observe and not prompt!

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Jeannette, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I’ve posted the ‘final’ powerpoint on the home page of the wiki – it has speaker notes on each page will may help as you practice. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Let me know if you notice anything missing or awry. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Sorry Vanita, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> For some reason I have difficulty opening your docs – they are converted on my computer and I do not get the graphics. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Can you send in another format? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

Sorry Robin, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I seemed to miss this one yesterday! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> The Navigational Flow Framework link is the updated one now, okay? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Jeannette, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Will you please let me know when you have posted the final version so that I can add it to the report? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

This is one of the Navigational-Flow Frameworks to consider: I still need to add in the Tagging directionality? JJ Done! JJ []

Here is another discard: Cmap tools...too many issues with arrows and the like...so, on to the next one! JJ

Here is a discarded version using MindNode Pro: I was restricted, or confused, by the automatic-ness of this app. JJ <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> VirtiCue Home.pdf

Bob's Social Story.avi <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Here you go, Jeannette! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> R

Click to open: Virti-Cue Interaction Design Nov 5.pptx Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">hi <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Do we want to have these graphics?? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Vanita Gupta

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">hi all, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> please find atach the research part. I will put it in the wiki too <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> thanks <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> vg

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Great work everyone. The mockup looks solid. Here are a couple of observations: <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> On the Get Cloud Story page, the Browse option does not link to anything. Is it supposed to? How is browse different from search? Redundant? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Under Shared Cloud Stories, is there an option to delete stories I have previously shared? What if I change my mind? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> We talked about restricting the “busyness” of each screen, but would some visuals be appropriate? Ie. in edit stories under add picture, consider putting a camera icon, etc. Is our rationale for not including visuals a sound argument? Many of these learners respond to visual cues and while Virti-Cue is mediated by an adult, I think the goal of this personalized social story experience should be that it is driven by the child. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I'll post the conclusion in our wiki. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Chat soon, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Chris

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi all, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Well I went through many versions, but here is the most recent...I used Webspiration in the end! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> The link is <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> __[]__ <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Which I have also put on our wiki...can’t remember which page! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Please let me know if this seems even needed...I really don’t know anymore. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I guess we could include it anyway... I may not even have the essential stuff Michele wants? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Talk soon <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Thanks, Jeannette :-) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I see that your posted version isn’t in CMAP ... I yi yi yi ... What a chore it has been! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I think that what you’ve come up with looks great – don’t add any more. I hope you didn’t spend too many hours on it. (Remember those Kowch papers ... ) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> ‘See’ you tomorrow at 11 ... Latte in hand! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> (Sorry I didn’t respond to your question below earlier – my computer and I needed some apart time.)

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Oh my, Robin! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> You are THE MACHINE!!! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have also been on it today...with rather frustrating mapping. SO, I downloaded CMAP, I think it’s WAY better and user friendly-for me, or, at least, better suited to this project! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> First, I had to sort of teach myself some of the do-dads that it employs! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I will have it done probably later tonight. I’ll find a way of letting you all see the outcome! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> So, should I use the Latest PPT as my route guide now? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks Robin...our savior <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi everyone, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> This is what I have done today: <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Got up <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Walked the dog ... No, just kidding. (Well, actually, this is where my day started, with my new Nike Workout app in hand - now that's a cool app!) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> This is what I’ve done: <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I think that’s it. I can’t look at it anymore today because my head hurts and, quite frankly, I’m sick of it. ;-) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> How are you doing, Jeannette? I didn’t hear from you so I’m assuming that things are going splendidly ... Or am I doing that ‘ass-u-me’ thing?? (with emphasis on the **me** part) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Lt me know if I can be of help. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I’ll check emails later tonight. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Take care, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">adjusted screen shots for use in the pp and in the paper
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">changed the mock-up – to reflect the above screen shots
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">added the additional slides we talked about yesterday (to the pp)
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">combined the wiki info into a draft of a final document (linked on the home page of the wiki, so please take a look through. I still need to print and look it through again – I haven’t looked at the entire document since I put it together – so you will probably find errors/gaps)
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">added a page to the wiki with links to the Survey and the PowerPoint – most recent version – still need conclusion – We’ll add the ‘story board’ link (Jeannette) once finished
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Paper still needs the section on research methodology (Vanita)
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I’ve made a suggestion under research – please respond (do we want to find victims to go through the mock-up and take notes on their user experience?)
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I went through the social story (Bob) on the wiki and included ‘change slide’ cues – take a look and see if they look okay – I guess we’ll see when we do a run-through too
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I added some red arrows to the pp – to focus attention
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">added another slide – focusing on Back, Help, & Home buttons

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">hi all, here is the questionnaire <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hello all, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have added a new page on our Interaction Design-wiki -called QCC-(Questions, Comments, Concerns) some points and thoughts for our tomorrow's meeting. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I had a few questions around the slide17-20. I have mentioned about it in detail on our wiki.

 * Please check out the different styles of Navigational Framework tool we can use (On StoryBoard page)
 * Please check out the cute video Robin made to illustrate a hypothetical social story creation..on Miscellaneous wiki! It rocks!

Referring to the outline of requirements for this phase:
 * I read through the usability Docs. and can't see what we have to do differently...perplexed!
 * I really think this must be the same controls we have decided on...how we navigate, what they are called, their functions etc.JJ
 * Also, how they look...and we have decided to keep visuals to a minimum, given our users.
 * I think, perhaps, we need a little bit of color or images... motivational factors?
 * Navigational Flow?

Hello all, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have added a new page on our Interaction Design-wiki -called QCC-(Questions, Comments, Concerns) some points and thoughts for our tomorrow's meeting. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I had a few questions around the slide17-20. I have mentioned about it in detail on our wiki. (QCC page) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> If they do not make sense, you may ignore them, just a few thoughts... <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I am facing some problems with my internet connection at home, I am in the currently in the library, shall send the page tomorrow morning from school. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks all <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Vanita

Hi all, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Wow! Robin You have done an amazing job of putting the power point together that I don't see we should touch the powerpoint. I am working on the second page our wiki and shall send it out tonight <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks all <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Regards <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Vanita

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I Get It! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I am, in fact , using your mock up as the way to sort each level. And, yes, I think the Navigation system has to be represented in the schema I am working on...to show the non-linearity <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Actually, your Ppt is of great use too! Thanks for that! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have to meet with my group soon, for the dreaded Thursday event, so will talk, and continue our project later! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Bye for now! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> JJ

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Sounds good ... Remember that our original storyboard (flowchart) has changed somewhat and you may find a more accurate representation in the mock-up. I think that the mock-up has taken us as far as it can – it is a linear environment, yet I don’t think that our navigational system is necessarily linear ... Make sense??? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Yours in confusion, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Jeannette, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks for your comments. As to the pp – it just made sense to put those screen shots in as I was the one who had them – would have been more work to send it to someone else to do! :-) I don’t feel that I’ve done a very good job keeping the ‘big picture’ in mind so I think that’s where others can really contribute. We need to take a look at Michele’s guidelines and see that we’ve met the criteria. We can do that on Thursday. I’d be very happy to pass the pp along to someone else to fine tune ;-).

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I talked to Rick (the Hub) about our navigational dilemma, and he thought it meant showing a more detailed view of the hierarchical pathways! Huh! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Anyway I am using MindNode pro to TRY and understand this! I’m really just taking our original storyboard and adding more details. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> And, yes, I, too, am a basket case! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette...in terror academia

Hope the nav diagram is going well – when I look at the Mock-up I wonder if we haven’t made things too complicated – we’ll see, I guess. Hope that all is set for tomorrow night and that your presentation goes well - I truly do understand the additional pressure that it brings – I was a basket case the week of mine!! See you tomorrow. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Glad you are looking at 5 – I haven’t done anything for it yet – just looked at it and I still don’t know what it means. :-( <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi again Robin! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> However...the Powerpoint is SOOOO neat! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I love it, I just wish you hadn’t felt the need to do everything...what else can I contribute? I am looking at #5 and investigating the navigational diagram as we seemed to need again!!! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> You rock! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

Hi all, I put the social scene into a possible powerpoint template. Take a look and see what you think - change/edit/delete, whatever. The movie at the end is a place holder only. I'll see if I can take the story that Chris revised and make a new one. I didn't add much text to each page, so that may need augmenting - or we can go from the script in the wiki - on the screen definitions page. Suggestions welcome - starting point only - don't mind scrapping and going with someone else's brainstorm. Robin


 * So, decisions around the buttons...yes, will be mainly an image as much as is able to be.
 * Decided on PowerPoint with the images from Robin! Robin is on this as well!
 * Vanita has researched much on the idea of how to assess usability and the reactions of our users. She has started a questionnaire type survey.
 * VG will also put together section on the research...send to Robin to add to our written compilation.
 * Robin says we can put it into Survey Monkey...all like this idea
 * Chris led us into clarification of each of the steps in our application...some questions still remain about e.g. save/cancel/delete
 * Chris led our discussion around safety issues and the need for an acceptable use policy of some sort...each shared experiences and ideas for this.
 * We discussed the need for public and private storage spaces.
 * Looked at several of the Flow framework designs...still grappling with this concept...what IS it for?

Hello all,Wow! Robin you have done an amazing job!. Honestly I had thought of making a story board but after i saw your work on Saturday, I thought it is exactly what we want. however I'll try to do some more. I like the idea of graphic rather then text, on the buttons... the back button and home graphic are I think more appealing than having words..Eager to meet all this evening. Regards <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Vanita

Team,outstanding work on the first phase of our project. I want to be upfront with all of you - I am buried in report cards at present. I will set aside some time first thingtomorrow to look through our wiki. Thx for your understanding, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Chris

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Robin, you have done such an amazing job...I am so impressed and chagrined!!! > I have been ‘out of the scene’ for a bit...family you know! > I promise that I am back on it now, and will indeed do some work before we meet today. > Thanks SO much for your dedication! > Jeannette

> <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi everyone, > I have spent some time going through the Mock-up and looking at the wiki this weekend. If you get a chance, please take a look before class tomorrow to see where the gaps are and to see if you think we’re on the right track. > I’m getting a little confused about the ‘checklist’ that Michele gave us and where one item ends and the next begins – does anyone else have a clear picture? > Thanks for taking a look, > Robin

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Hi guys, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I have added a page for our QCC-(Questions, Comments, Concerns) for the meeting we plan to have tomorrow. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> First of all, I must appreciate Robin for all the hard work put in pulling together our Presentation. I like those characters sooo.... cute!! THANK YOU. THANKS ALSO FOR THE SUGGESTIONS BELOW. (NOT YELLING, JUST WANT TO DISTINGUISH THE TEXT AND I'M TIRED AND DON'T FEEL LIKE CHANGING THE COLOUR :-) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> All right, my questions.... I just wanted to be on the same page...( Like Vicente says, Being on the same page....) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> 1) Slide 17 and 18 have different graphics but the same title, Do you think we should slightly change Slide 18 and talk a little about "**Tagging**" how the user will now save under the correct tag?? CHANGED THE SECOND TO ONLY HAVE CLOUD - IT ISN'T SPECIFIC BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS OF TAGGING ... ANYONE ELSE HAVE A GOOD ONE? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> During our presentation this question had come back to us for 'feedback. Also Dr. Jacobsen was mentioning if Tagging is not considered at the beginning, it can lead to problems later.... any thoughts.... <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> 2) After Slide 19 can we add **another slide** <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> for example Slide 18 talks about -Tom shares his finished movie with Bob. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Possibly the next slide could be:- ( this could re-enforce the point that the product is user-friendly, and with a simple illustration or a sample story the user is able to navigate with ease. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Secondly, the product is simple and easy to use. -emphasis on 'simplicity' and 'ease of use'...) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> GOOD IDEA. I'VE ADDED THAT SLIDE IN. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> 3) Based on **Dr. Jacobsen's feedback** and question on - <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> " How might you "untangle" good teaching/parenting and use of your product, and good and not so good learner use of your product in your evaluation of 'success" <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> - Well I was thinking if we could have some kind of Stats -kind of like the websites have, telling the site-manager, how many people visited etc. etc. Of course since our product will be an downloadable app. we can't keep a tab on the Stats, however thinking a little big, what if we are able to keep a tab ....somehow.. i don't know.. offer incentives.. free offers.... so inn that way the stats could help us determine the success of our product?? just a thought.. any one with ideas... DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE ... SOME SORT OF USER FEEDBACK? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Hi again,(Vanita again) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks for acknowledging the suggestions and doing the needful.. Another one... Sorry.. <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Based on the slides from the powerpoint I have written the last paragraph under Navigation, now that the slides are modified, should I change the lines on 'Cloud' or on second thoughts, i'll change it after we **discuss a little** more during our meeting today.Suggestions?? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Thanks-vg
 * ( Bob practising using the product himself )
 * Bob now practices with his Dad. He is easily able to navigate through the story and now is ready to use it prior to encountering a situation.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Robin, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> When I asked about doing a presentation part for this Monday, people said we were not going to...I certainly could have taken this off your shoulders!

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Talk to you soon <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> jeannette

See the MOCK-UP: Do you think this is sufficient? We will include screen shots in our 'demo case' for the presentation as we walk the class through the creation of a social story. I think we need to include, somehow, either a text or animated character that verbalizes the choices they need to make. Like using an animated graphic and attaching voice? I can investigate this if you all wish? I'm thinking more for our presentation to the class, maybe, unless we could incorporate this idea somehow? I wonder if it's okay to raise issues we still have to iron out, and ask for guidance from the class?

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Usability Points to Cover: //Here's my OTHER!!!// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //I'm so impressed with the mock -up.// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //I agree that the simpler and more understandable the button directions, the better. So, using simple but clear graphics, i.e. the visual has intuitiveness built in somehow. However, I think the addition of simple text commands would benefit to users...different types of learners?// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //Should we include recorded voice commands for each section...able to be deactivated once user remembers procedures? I'm not sure HOW one would do this however...willing to try and find out though if interested?// <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //I had some thoughts around://
 * Decisions to make: do we want to use textual navigation buttons or graphical? As is, I have used buttons with text in the mock-up - we could change the 'back' button to a black left pointing arrow linked to back, and the 'home' button to a house image, linked to the home page. R
 * This is a mock-up only, and does not reflect what the actual buttons will look like in our final design - so which way should we go? Thoughts? R
 * Or, we could use a combination of image/text ... as I've done on the 'Sample Story' page in the mock-up (pictured to the right), but doing so does make the page a little more cluttered.
 * //I like the idea of text and image...hopefully simple but instinctive for users.I really like the images of the little guy! What costs would be involved in using them? J//
 * consistently placed navigation elements
 * descriptive text and images
 * links allow users to move back or home from each page
 * help button is available on each page to assist users with difficulties and provide guidance
 * our goal is to have the "technology itself become transparent", leaving users free to pursue their goals (Vicente, p. 90)
 * options on each page are limited to promote ease of use (Vicente, p. 91)
 * OTHER??
 * //do we need some indication of where, how, and choice for importing video clips?//
 * //have we addressed the issue of local storage for personal collections of video clips, sound recordings, and images for later use? Storage capacity and data management? I'm thinking there would have to be some limit on the number of items on hold for each media...lot of memory used here. Do we need to develop an attachable storage component to our device too? Hmmm...does this also mean we need to provide format options for the storage of each media...or are we going to define that E.g. jpeg, png, flv, Quicktime etc.// //Oh my goodness!//
 * //Does this mean we would need some element of a search engine designed into our product//
 * JJ

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"> VG: Cloud Saving Button – how do you think should we ‘request a tag ??? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">Hmmm. perhaps we provide a series that we have already decided upon...broad categories...and a limited choice? // <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 36pt;"> VG: Do we want online chat/ help feature or just ‘frequently asked questions’? <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //Perhaps this can be incorporated into the Help area?//

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Robin: (Anyone artsy out there?? Couldn't find anything //perfect//, so thought I'd put these in as place holders. We could use, but there would be a cost associated.) <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> //JJ Do we know how much of a cost? I rather love these guys! Again, thanks for all of your work on this...we would certainly be at sea without you!//
 * Robin PAID for the right to use the presentation images! THANK YOU!
 * Robin has found some of the cutest images for both our Mock up and to use for our PowerPoint presentation! They, however, do cost a fair bit! What to DO?


 * Discussed re: use of icons and text for our navigation buttons. Don't want too much stimulation due to Asperger's, but do want some motivational/fun aspects to our design.
 * We are narrowing down our type of device to use for the application...we reason that it has its best use in an all in one concept...not having to have a seperate video camera, or digital camera etc. So, for iPhone/Smartphones, iPods, iPad (Which should have those capabilities very soon)
 * Much discussion of what we need to do, create, and document at this point. Robin and Vanita gathering notes, research, our observations for the written component of this phase.
 * Jeannette looking into ways to represent the navigational flow etc. Chris will look at some social story samples that may be "out there."
 * Each of us is to check out and add thoughts or questions a and the like to our growing wiki!


 * Robin has created a great Mock-up which we all are wowed at!
 * We are each going to register for Skpe, although Robin and Vanita already have accounts. This will save us always having to physically meet, especially as each of us has many group projects on the go!
 * Each of us to check in Rogers, Preece, Sharp, and online linked resources to check on our procedues for this stage...we have much less time...need to be on it!
 * Robin has set us up on Mocking Bird to create a Mock up of Virti-cue...although trying to create a dynamic product in a linear environment is pretty challenging

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Great job back at you! <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> I'll pop it into wiki for our documentation and starter for development phase <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Hope your meeting went well this morning, <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Bye for now <span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Jeannette

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Verdana,Helvetica,Arial; font-size: 11pt;"> Points to consider from Michele's feedback:


 * What will the context of use be like for the kids? (I think this is addressed on page 1 - "under the guidance of adults ..."
 * clarify use/production of stories with/by parents and teachers
 * How will you organize the wealth of stories (tagging)?
 * Field research - to be conducted with? (parents and teachers //or// include children?)
 * Key challenge: story creation and assessment - if the kids need these stories, how will they create them
 * How will you know if the students who used your product learned **what** and **how** you wanted them to learn (transfer), and **why**, if any, "unintended or unanticipated learning" occurred - good and not so good?
 * How might you "untangle" good teaching/parenting and use of your product, and good and not so good learner use of your product in your evaluation of "success"?
