Since we are developing e-learning it only makes since that the field test would be done on-line. My task was to develop and post a survey form in Google Forms. Once the survey was developed I posted it on my Moodle for Karrie and Mike to complete.
I choose to create a survey primarily about the format and aesthetics with yes or no questions and a space for comments under each question. I choose to focus on the format and aesthetics for multiple reasons including the fact that I like to set up the look of a project first. And yes, I color the outlines in a coloring book first.
I was partnered with two people rather than one as we have an odd number of students in class. At first I was not very happy to have extra work to do as I was running like Alice with the Red Queen in Through the Looking Glass already but.....I knew that both Karrie and Mike were excellent students who did good work so I decided to look at the situation as a good learning opportunity.
They each created a different type of survey that functioned well for their Moodle projects. I was very thorough in completing each field test survey. I looked at every posting for active links, spelling and grammar, aesthetics, chunking and segmenting, user friendliness, and whether it was audience appropriate or not. I spent more than an hour on each survey not counting the survey completion and posting. It was definitely a learning experience for me but.....I learned so much invaluable information that I wouldn't have otherwise.
And the feedback I got from both Karrie and Mike on how my comments were helpful to them was an unexpected bonus.
