Reflection

Remembering: What did I do?

See the Team-Assigned Tasks for specifics. I also completed the assigned reading for the week. The vast majority of my work this week was on production of the alpha and beta-1 prototypes, along with beginning to implement the Formative Evaluation process. I also communicated with my team, the sponsor, and client.

Understanding: What was important about what I did? Did I meet my goals?

The importance of this week's tasks are obvious: they help build the actual project, and assure that it is effective. Most of my goals were met, though the birth of my daughter caused me to miss the deadline for completion of the alpha prototype by 24 hours.

Application: When did I do this before? Where could I do this again?

Though I seem to be repeating myself, to answer both questions, other projects.

Analysis: Did I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?

Apart from the inverse relationship of the age of my computers and the relative efficiency of production, no.

Evaluation: How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?

Quite well, this week. In what could have been a very chaotic experience, I found time to produce high quality content. My teammates also did so, allowing for the production of a solid beta-1 prototype.

Creation: What should I do next? What is my plan/design?

I will send the beta-1 prototype to the SME for review. My team and I will receive the SME recommendations and create a beta-2 prototype from them. I will continue to schedule student evaluators for the remaining portions of the formative evaluation.
I will prepare for the meeting on Tuesday with my team, and the Project Showcase on Thursday.
