We tried to make the data collection side strong with increasing the quality of data able to be colected and the system in which it happened. We kind of started to forget about the behaviour and interactive side of things. It was the newest part of the concept of interaction design that we'd been trying to grasp so we have to make sure that we really hammer that home over the course of developing our product home.
As we had been dwelling on such a different difection for so long we were pretty behind. Slow to get moving on ideas bt when we did, we would run forward with them quickly. We kpet heading in so many directions then having to abandon that we were at a primative stage when we presented. But this was good because when we talked to them, our idea chaged alot so we had to go backwards again anyway and start from base camp.
We presented to the tutors and through a round table discussion and ideas session started to move the interaction away from a wall so much, away from external and really bring it in to something personal to the child. Something they own- a toy that senses when theyre in the classroom perhaps. Something that they feed information to and it records data within it then trasfers to the teacher or the office, but still gets returned to live on a wall station or something as to not get lost at home. Things like that.
As Will and I had been the only oens able to stay till the end of the class (the other two had important meetings for other subjects to run to), we didn't work out completely where we were heading as we still had to discuss it with the others. But over the couple of dayd following when we had time to sit down and discuss with them, we manged to articulate it to them and they loved it. We went away and started thinking aobut more ideas with this in mind.
