After the preliminary Usability Test Result presentations, your team should meet with your client (scientists) for a final review. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss changes that would be made to a new version of the app.

Professor Kuilin       Our Team

(Looking at instructor lobby view)

Wil users show up as they sign in?

Yes, on this intermediate screen between the Professor’s “Game Setup” screen and the actual game screen. We’ll be improving the look of this screen as well.

(Looking at main Student View)

Is this the screen that students will see?

These two pins must be the origin and destination

Is the green or the red the origin?

The green is the origin and the red is the destination, although this can be changed if necessary.

No, this is fine.

There is only one number on the road, is this the number of users on that segment?

We ran into trouble with the weights on the road because it will always show two weights and they overlap.

Oh I see.

Are there values for each direction on the links?

Yes, right now they unfortunately overlap, but they’re both there. We haven’t yet been able to figure out a way to properly display the values for both directions. They’re both there, but due to overlapping you can only see one right now.

A path is a sequence of links. The number on the road should be how many users/travelers on the link. Right now I’m only seeing one number for each link.

Would it be possible to move each number a little bit so it’s possible to see the difference in directions?

Yeah, this should be something that we can do. We’ll be making improvements over the next week and we’ll see if we can add that.

Is this the travel time or how many users on the link?

Travel time. It’s the current weight on that edge given the algorithm chosen at the beginning. I think the one we’re looking at now is BPR.

Oh! I see. Travel time is fine. Another thing is maybe show how many users are on each link. That would be very helpful to me.

Was there anything else?

No that’s pretty much it. We’ll be implementing the post-game stats export and possibly the “import network” button on the main Professor view

So it’s just automatic when students join that they’re displayed on that “lobby” page?

Yes, as you can see someone just joined and appeared there.

Oh! Awesome, Excellent.

If you can solve the overlapping problem with the numbers that would be wonderful.

If you can change it to show how many people are on the road, that would be helpful.

But we also have to be careful so that it doesn’t get too crowded.

The more information you’re able to display the better.

And on the post-game stats screen show the Total Cost.

And maybe how many students made selections for each iteration so that I can keep track as the professor of how many students have participated.

Overall, it looks like the core functionality is done!

I like your work summary very much.
