Congratulations Design Tech Directors!

By now each of you has tasted success in creating your unique, personal and professional digital video tutorial!  Being the director, producer, actor/actress, camerman/woman and editor was not an easy job but you did it.  Along with your storyboards, scripts and shot lists you've all pulled off a product that could potentially effect thousands, even millions of people in the future is some very positive ways.  Becoming an information producer, instead of just a consumer, is the first step towards being an active participant in our global knowledge marketplace.

The question now is...  How well does this product you've created solve your goal?..  How successful is it?...  How could it be improved?... What could you have done differently?.. OK, that's more than just on question!

It's time for us to evaluate our video.  It's nice for us to just reference our personal feelings... but there has to be a way to get a better, clearer idea on just how good of a product we've created.  That's where our Design Specifications come in.

We can use our Design Specifications to help us test out and evaluate our product.  Many of use may also try to go beyond using our own personal feelings by collecting objective feedback from others.  One way to do this would be to create a data collection mechanism like a survey or form and have people anonymously fill it out after watching our videos.

A great place to share these surveys (with our videos) would be to embed them into our blogs with a new blog post.  That way helps us to keep our blog fresh and relevant with an update and provides us with a space to easily and aesthetically display our video and collect feedback all at the same time.

Most of you have started to create your own surveys while in class.  If you're struggling to create a quality survey, be sure to check out the first video after this (also linked here).  When finished crafting your survey, be sure to check out the next video that shows you how to embed your tutorial video and your form into a new blog post (also linked here).

In the end, we'll be able to use the data we collect to help us make a determination on how successful our product is.  Remember, before creating the question in your Google Form, be sure to think about what type of responses you're looking for.  You might even want to write down your questions first before transferring them into the Google Form.
