Objectives:
To create at least one input and output HCI.
To create some information to document the creation process.
Welcome back to Monday Madness!
Over the half term, I have been spending time working on various pieces of work. This includes the resubmissions I have for U20_A3 and U20_A4. I also worked on my personal statement which has been sent to my tutor(s). Returning to college has been difficult to re-adjust the time, but I arrived awake and ready to learn.
The first thing Zoë showed us was a video regarding Virtual Reality on mice - this was quite recent so I was fascinated by it, this is because the testers are trying to understand how the brain makes decisions. Though, it feels a little cruel to test it on innocent creatures like mice.
After the above, Zoë went through U23_A3 with everyone by explaining our objectives via PowerPoint. It was a load of information which we had to process quickly. So for anything I couldn't catch, I asked Zoë to quickly repeat it after. Our task is to recreate the order form protocol we designed as well as linking the different screen designs we did from our HCI pencil projects. A strength of this is that I was able to quickly understand what we had to do and cracked on by planning a list in my head. Though my weakness can be confusion when things got difficult. Within a few minutes, I was able to link all the screen designs and export it as web HTML pages but I was unsure if I needed a fourth screen design because the home page may not count (will ask Zoë later).
Then I started to code the order form. I firstly wanted to create the overall form and I did this by using HTML. My inspiration was w3schools because it help remind me of everything I need to know. Through the process, I used table tags and more, which helped me understand how it works more. Afterwards, I started to validate a part of my form by using JavaScript script functions along with Zoë's guide. For this, I have spent almost the entire day and possibly more time tomorrow to complete - this is because my weakness was the inability to understand JavaScript quickly, so as an improvement I kept focused and tried to analyse line by line, then rewording and commenting my own words.
Nearer the end of the day, Zoë helped me with my resubmissions as I asked her a few questions I had in mind over the week, then I submitted instantly. The remaining work I have is predominantly U23, an improvement and goal is to get this completed soon. My other aims is to revise for maths and get more art done as a test and lesson is coming up.
Reflecting over today, I have got a lot done but due to the complexity of the Scheme of Assessment, it has made me think of more worrisome questions. This can be a bit annoying, but I am happy and confident whenever Zoë helps me out. I may or may not come into college tomorrow. If I do, it is because I want to get further ahead. Otherwise, it means I am A-OK!
