Scot Muncaster asked me to review his estimates for different permutations of an upcoming project. He gave me a walkthrough of that project before giving me access to the spreadsheet. These are my notes from that walkthrough.

  • May need to bump up internal hours for general course framework setup
  • DO TESTING
  • Thinks the total for internal may need to be more like 300 on the max side
  • 1-to-1 conversion, as much as possible
    • Can make improvements but not required
  • No accessibility requirements we are aware of
  • Introduction- video with next button after playback
  • Gary and Tariq (scenario 2 is identical)
    • Audio over full-screen image
    • Text boxes over full-screen images with next/back buttons
    • Video observations: watch video and rate on a spectrum your answer to a question presented as text
      • Is currently drag and drop. May use slider instead.
    • Video indicators: Multiple choice questions with same video as above
    • Boxes are checked as video plays
  • Timeline recap of events of the scenario
    • Hover over dots on timeline to see an image and some text
  • Margaret and Les (Annette and George is identical)
    • full-screen image with text dialog
    • Video interview: multiple choice branching w/ 32 videos
      • ask the right questions and follow-up properly until the end
      • selecting wrong may let you go a little further but will eventually cut you off
        • bad answer you gave is no longer selectable
      • notes pop-over- notes are jotted down as yo move through the interview
      • coach feedback popovers with image and text
        • tell you if responses are good or bad
      • XML lays out the branches
      • may be able to use interrogation screens used in POST
      • takes a while to go through
      • If you fail, you must try again, either now or later
    • Determine charge: like video indicators
      • multiple choice
      • list of penal codes that may have been violated
      • show correct set of notes from previous exercise
      • try again until you get it right
    • DA feedback: text with graphics
    • Timeline: same as before
  • Elena and Tomas
    • Can’t do until complete the others
    • Scene explores: hidden object games (4x)
      • image scrolls as you move mouse to the edges
      • click items you find
      • incident report fills as you find items
      • get DA feedback- attempt to end scenario. DA will tell you when you have enough
      • click on people to get to interviews (below)
    • interviews: like the previous video interview
      • these don’t start over, just loop back if you ask the wrong question
    • timeline
  • Conclusion: same as intro
  • dumped back to menu after that is done
    • may add some directions about what to do at the end
