The Access Lecture team was able to achieve quite a lot during this quarter. The main highlights include functional prototype ready for usability testing, research on related works, setting up the database required for the application and of course acceptance into two conferences!
While the fall quarter we mainly focused in the basics of iOS programming, in the last quarter (winter) we were able to actually build on top of it to make a prototype for our application. We also tried to gain some insight as to how the application would look like for people with tritanope, protanope, and deuteranope types of color blindness. So we have applications ready that include varieties of multi-touch gestures (zoom and tap) as well as colored and gray scaled version and also various images (math equations, geometry figures, chemistry equations, and biology figures) so that we could cover all the bases of the likely scenarios that the target audience would find in real life. We have also have the survey ready (both pre and post) for the usability test.
We were also able to get some work done setting up the database and some basic forms that allows to manage courses and lectures. But when it came to deployment we ran into few issues which remains yet to be resolved.
Another area that we worked on this quarter is going through a lot of related articles to gain knowledge as to what other advances have been made in the same field as ours. It provided us with some good ideas regarding some issues that we need to consider for conducting usability testing as well other innovative ideas. We were also able to get in touch with a similar research group. We hope to exchange some of our ideas further next quarter.
And last but not the least, some of the team member got accepted into two prestigious conferenes. These would indeed be a great opportunity to share what we have been doing over the last two quarter as well as the progress that we'd making next quarter. Kudos and congratulation to the team members!
Looking ahead...for the spring quarter we would be actually conducting the usability test which can yield further insights about the improvements required for the application.
