Incorporating FeedbackLesson 5
Agenda
Topics • Database• App testing and incorporating feedback
Activities
• Check-in (20 mins.)• Database (20 mins.)• Presenting prototype for testing – ( 60
mins.)• Sharing prototype for feedback (20 mins.)• Wrap-up – (10 mins.)
3
Check-in: paper prototype• Team members share paper prototype of their app idea• Explain the key functionalities and features
4
Databases• Organized collection of data• Intended to organize, store, and retrieve large
amounts of data easilyExamples:• iTunes is a database for all your music• Google has a database of websites which is
used for Google Search• Facebook is a database of people
5
Databases in App Inventor• Reference to the colored Dots tutorial from last
session: http://tinyurl.com/k2qahq7• If participants want to save data after the
application is closed they must use a database Two types of databases:• TinyDB stores data directly on the phone and will
only be used by that phone (hand-set)• TinyWebDB stores data on a web database that can
be shared among phones
6
Data• Key – label for what’s inside• Value – data that’s insideWe use the Key to look up the Value in the databaseExample:
Phone Book (a database of contact information) Key = name Value = phone number
7
Database for App?
How can you use a database for your
App?
8
Incorporating feedback: Making your App better
• Feedback from potential customers will… Tell you if your solution (app) to a
problem is accurate Suggest improvements that can be
made in the design of the app Suggest other features to add (either
now or in the future)
9
Activity: Usability Testing• Test your paper prototypeIdeas for testing paper prototype: Create a short video walking the audience through
the features of the paper prototype Create a PowerPoint presentation listing each screen
on a slide Share the video/presentation with your survey
respondents, friends and colleagues, WeTech team ([email protected])
10
Activity: Usability Testing• Create video/PowerPoint presentations• Decide on how will the prototype be circulated for
feedback• Create timeline for collecting and incorporating
feedback
11
Collecting Feedback on PrototypeQuestions Notes Suggested ChangesIs there anything that isunclear or confusing inthe user-interface?Would your user preferthe app look or behavedifferently?Which features of yourapp interface and usabilityare of highest value toyour target market?Are there any missingbuttons or other contentfrom your app?Did the user’sexpectations differ fromthe intended functionalityof the app?
12
Task List• Collect feedback for prototype • Each team member can be assigned
responsibility for updating different prototype screens based on feedback received
Wrap-Up
• Share a photo of your session with WeTech at [email protected]
• Encourage participants to join WeTech Technovation Facebook group to stay connected with the larger community - http://tinyurl.com/mmzjwed
