Just finished phase two, an all morning session at the college. We had two groups and again worked through 3 tasks with minimal intervention.
Letting the participants play with the phones over coffee and getting to know each other at the beginning of the session was a triumph. This is definitely something we will carry forward to Phase 3.
Lots of great feedback and fun had by all.
Just need to write up the results
The session went well and participants manged to forget that they were being observed despite my frantic scribbling. All of the participants attempted the tasks and helped each other.
The ‘play time’ at the beginning allowed the participants to get an initial feel of the phones and hepled them to feel less daunted when faced with a specific task.
It was very successful and all participants indicated that they had made progress technically and emotionally during the session.
