Peer Eval - Multimedia
This is a very unique multimedia presentation. I really enjoyed the way you went step by step through the process and how it really went well with your user documentation. I have never used the software to create a presentation like that but you definitely did a great job. The only thing I would suggest is having the voice be a little more enthusiastic. The talker seemed very monotone and if you are trying to pitch this to a business I would definitely have something a little more upbeat. Other than that I thought this was a great presentation and I can not wait to see the final product.
Multimedia Presentation Draft Review
I agree with the previous reviewer. This is very unique and the audio that goes along with the video leaves no room for error in your instructions since you show the client how to do it. I had a few comments though. First, I would try to fix the resolution so it fits on more screen sizes. My 15.4" Widescreen laptop screen had the controls on the bottom, while most of the action in the top, so that didn't work great. I would cut off the video from the bottom and scroll more when you need that half. I liked the general concept of the video, I would say it might be useful to instruct the user to turn up volume or something because my volume was down and I couldn't figure out it was video... It was quite confusing. Good job nonetheless.
(By the way, my laptop resolution is 1280x800)
Multimedia Presentation Draft Peer Review
Your multimedia presentation is very impressive. I have not checked other group's presentations, but my gut tells me that is nothing to compare to this. The steps are great and I like how it is assisted with voice instructions. You made use of the software very well and deserve the utmost recognition and highest grade for this presentation. Like the other students mentioned the resolution may be a problem. This is always problem when dealing with webpages and the internet because there is not a constant resolution and browser that everyone uses. I would possible take the space around the video in your html if you do not want to change the resolution, just in case it is not a quick fix. On your tag for the presentation you can add the VSPACE='0' tag if not done so already.
Comments
Overall, your multimedia presentation is very effective in showing users how to use facebook for their purposes. What is really effective is building on your steps with effective persuasion to tell your users why facebook will help them. Investing your steps with persuasion makes this really effective. Make sure you maintain that throughout. As a presentation, you could add even more persuasion at the beginning and end to better engage and persuade your reader. You can also make sure that you have more specific references to ENGR 126's goals for the facebook group. The screen capture is really effective and engaging throughout. Good work with text.
The documentation is effective, but you need to make sure it is directly related to your client. Revise it so that individual steps correlate more with ENGR 126 goals for the facebook page. Refer to my comments from the graded Project Two. And it is imperative that you make your project more specific to the needs of ENGR 126 and your client.
