Project name: whale morphology
Hi, Audra,
My name is Jiwon You from Ewha Womans University. I reviewed your project site (http://www.identitywebandphoto.com/6210/ ) on April, 14, 2008 and I enjoyed your project pretty much. I can feel that how much your team put an effort and enthusiasm into this project.
I like to share a couple of my ideas about your project and I hope that it helps you to complete your project. I liked the video clips that you used because it made me feel that I was on the whale tour on the sea. Also I think that the information on the glossary was helpful; especially some of terminologies were scientific ones the glossary provided easy and clear information about whales. However, when the video is playing, it will be better to show the progress bar so that users know how long this video is and where they are. Video playing and audio file are not synchronized so replaying video does not play with audio file. I think if you solve this issue, it would be much better. The other thing that I noticed was changing "continue" button on the screen. Depends on the lengthy of the contents, the location of the button seems changed. It would be better if you locate the navigation buttons at the same place and this will improve the consistency. In addition, there is no back button within a lesson. Adding a back button will support users to navigate the content more freely.
It was exciting to see your work and I learned many new things about whales. I like to thank you and your department for providing this opportunity for sharing my ideas. Thanks and Good luck to all of you.
Regards,
Jiwon You
