VIVA Practice

During our project seminar today we developed a VIVA presentation on our major project idea and research gathered. This presentation was then presented by another student in the class, the purpose was to see the project from an outsiders point of view enabling myself to take notes and identify areas of improvement. Ollie presented my work today, during the process I found useful tips on how to describe and talk about some of the research I have gathered so far. This was followed by a discussion where other students ask questions and give advice on what I could implement. 

Positive

• Overall idea had positive response from students (they agree they will benefit form using this)
• No need for the use of hardware (USB/ hard drives)
• Solves the solutions of working with various computer systems as the files will be in one place

Negative

• Software used only saves the information on the cloud it does not provide an external file 
• One of the students was not keen as he prefers using a form of hardware

Further Research

• Need to look into how the cloud will work if more than one using is working on the same file
• Shotgun program

Now it is vital that I carry out some user testing and develop some paper prototypes for my logo and homepage in order to be presented in next weeks tutorial session.
