Criteria D

Testing the animations:
I chose a student in the class to test my product and check if it works properly. The student first checked the organ systems animations. After checking the animation without stopping, the student watched it all over again to see if it is meeting a list of things that has makes the software successful. I gave a list of things to the students and he checked if these things met the standards. The list included: Background changes, talking sprites, If the sprite is in the right positions, if the broadcasted messages are being receives and etc. All of the things in the list worked. So this shows that the first animation was successful. Then the student checked the second one and to observe if the details in the quiz. Like before, I make a list of things to check to see if they were working. Then the student checked if the these things worked. Things in the list included if the questions were shown, if each of the option can be clicked on, if there is a score in the end, if the music plays properly etc. All the things on the list was succesful. I wanted to see if the animations work from different viewpoints, so the Ms.Lubnah (my interviewee) also observed both the animations and checked the things on the list. All of the things on the lists were successful. 


Improvements:

  • I could have had audio the organ systems animation and the quiz. This will make the audience more engaged and would also give them a better chance to understand the information since it would be stuck it in their head. 
  • For the quiz, I could have made the questions timed. This would be better for the students to improve their time management skills.
  • For the quiz, I could have could have made the theme and backgrounds more colourful. This will attract the students.

Impact on the audience:
  • The students will enjoy learning more since both the animations are very interactive and educating.
  • The quiz will refresh the student's mind and would also be great as a revisions for and assessment.
  • Teachers can use these animations to help their students and to make the student's learning more engaging and fun
  • Teachers can use this for students with special needs as its is very easy to understand.
  • All students of any kind of level of knowledge could use it to broaden their knowledge and understanding about organ systems.  
  • Students all around the world who have access to the internet can use this to study about organ systems.
  • These can help teachers to find another way of teaching other than using books

PROCESS TO CREATE MY ORGAN SYSTEM ANIMATION

1.



I used the burger as a curser to click each part of the digestive system. I made the burger hide in the other backgrounds except the  digestive system background. I did this by broad casting a message and then command hide, this will make the sprite hide in the unnecessary backgrounds.  This is for the burger sprite that is a curser for the digestive system. Every time I click on each organ of the digestive system the reindeer would say the function of it. If I click the sprite and the sprite is touching the color of the organ then the reindeer would the function of each organ. 


2.


This is for the monkey sprite during the first conversation. As you can see the monkey starts the conversation and then waits for the other character to speak and then the monkey replies.  then I sent a broadcast with a command to hide. This is because the character should be present when the background changes into the menu. 


3.

 This is the dialogue for the polar bear called Fluffy. The character has to wait for the other character to speak and then replier. I found the conversation coding very easy. but, I had to be aware of the timing. I then I broadcasted a message for the sprite to hide.



 4.

 As you can see when the sprite that is clicked on each organ will broadcast a message to the reindeer sprite. When the reindeer sprite receives the broadcast the reindeer will say the function if the organ in a specific amount of time.

5.
 The is a coding for another sprite which is a curser for the respiratory and skeletal system. when the colour of each organ is clicked the message will broadcast to the reindeer.  When the message is received by the reindeer the sprite will mention the function. When the backdrop switches i dont want the sprite to be present to I added hide when backdrop switches.


6.
When the curser clicks the go back to menu box it will go back to the menu that shows the different organ systems to choose from. I put when sprite is clicked, if the curser is touching the  colour of the menu box then switch backdrop to the menu.

These are the three different codings for each of the multiple choice questions.

Date Task to be completed Time frame Evaluation of the results Task completed
1st Nov I created the background and the sprites. I started to create the background 1 hour  I like how the background and the sprites looked. They were arranged well.  Yes
2nd Nov I first started creating a dialogue and then put it together. I also crete a menu for the systems. 2 hour 20 mins I had a short conversation about organs. It is bred but informative. Yes
3rd Nov I created the background. Then I created a reindeer sprite which talks about the digestive system.  2 hours I had very informative but straightforward pints on the digestive system Yes
4th Nov I created a background for the skeletal system and then I extracted the facts from the secondary research and added it to the coding 2 hours 20mins I was very interesting and the facts about the skeletal system was surprising and engaging.  Yes
5th Nov I gathered research for the respiratory system and used coding to put it together. The I edited everything to make it look good 2 hours 50mins I was happy with the way it turned out. The animations looked good and was played out in a proper format Yes
6th Nov I came up with the quiz questions and finessed off the menu. I watched the tutorials of how to create a multi-choice quiz. 3 hours The quiz questions are quite challenging and encouraging. The menu is simple and attractive

Date Task to be completed Time frame Evaluation of the results Task completed
7th Nov I finish all the quiz questions and started working on the sun effects.  3 hours The quiz questions took the most time since it was very challenging to code everything perfectly.  Yes
9th Nov I tested the software and checked it on different devices to see if both of them work. 1 hour 10 mins I was happy with the way ot turned out and how it looked. Both of the animations worked on the devices tested Yes
10th Nov Fixed error and edited everything for the 1st animation 1 hour I had fixed some minor errors. Yes
4th Nov I fixed a few eeros on the quiz. 1 Hour The quiz had some errors that were challenging to fix. But then I got the hang of it. Yes
