As the LDT students, we have shared our innovation designs and provided feedback on each other's designs. I believe that feedback is so important to refine the design and make it more user-friendly for end-users.
I find my classmates' feedback invaluable because they show me different perspectives.
Especially, two comments have attracted my attention:
The first one belongs to my classmate Dan. She has suggested to insert some more visual aids into the hyperlinked texts that I provided on ReadJoy. I totally agree with her because I also believe that it would increase struggling readers' motivation.
The second one is from Katie. She has recommended me to integrate or revisit the diagnostic test that I provide in the beginning of the MOOC to make the toolbar more personalized. I think it is a great idea because one of the affordances of digital scaffolding is that struggling readers can adjust it based on their needs. Thus, we should definitely utilize its merit by revisiting it. I agree with Katie.
As you see, my MVP is still evolving thanks to my friends' valuable feedback. Maybe the next step is a mini pilot study with end-users!
