evaluation done

fixed the evaluation, going to send my tutor the questions and see what she thinks. it doesn't have to be up by end of next week, so there's no rush with it...

first ci reported

got the first critical incident reported today... was a programming error, had changed a thing in one place but not in the other... and now it's fixed :)

mail sent to norway

got a mail sent to norway... we'll see what happens there.

small updates

fixing small things here and there at the request of the coordinators. seems that the evaluation is working quite well :) they have been posted on the forum, so it's good to keep and will be of use for the report.

have started thinking a little bit on the questionnaire and the questions. will probably work a bit on fixing the report as well, the things I have to change and add in the background after the comments from my tutor, and also the addition of the new article.

help done!

took me a while, but finally finished with the help, and I think I managed to cover everything on all pages. hope it helps...

ci fixed

critical incident reporting is fixed and working. I also fixed the motd to reflect evaluation phase. will send basically the same mail out tomorrow. have to prepare the questionnaire so it's ready and done when needed.

slow day

didn't get much done today... took screenshots of all pages and prepared a help page, but I need to put some explanations to the pictures. haven't really gotten started with the evaluation yet, have to fix the CI and then send a mail...

major facelift!

the whole site underwent a major facelift today, and now actually looks good! thank you kertu for your help :)

I got a reply from my tutor, where she asked me to think about how I was going to do things, after I explained a bit. hope she's happy with my further explanations, I have quite a good view of how I want to do things.

found another article (Remote Evaluation: The Network as an Extension of the Usability Laboratory) that explains something called critical incident reporting, where users/evaluators report critical negative or positive incidents as they happen, directly from the tool they're evaluating. the advantage is that the memory is fresh, and they can hopefully describe things well, so that the developers can fix them. I'm going to set it up so it can be done, and incorporate it in the site. I think it can be a very helpful tool. that article also had a few versions of remote evaluation, including digital questionnaires and automatic logging, so it means I'm not totally off.

forum use!

we agreed through the forum with the coordinators that they shouldn't be able to add studycircles, but should instead urge the tutor to report it through the page. if they really need to add it, they can go report it themselves through the report page, in the tutor's name.

I added so they can change start and finish time of the circles, might be good in case something goes wrong. I've also improved the logging system a bit, at least for updating persons, now I have to fix it for updating study circles. shouldn't be too hard I think.

tomorrow evaluation starts! first task: help page!

help?

did some minor updates, fixed a few bugs, or perhaps I should call them "features" ;-)

figured it would be a good idea to set up a help system as well... or at least some sort of manual that tells and shows what can be done where. I'll work on that.
