Meeting Notes December 21, 2015

Present: Colin, Dana, Michelle, Alan, Jess, Yan

Metrics Related to Personalization/Adaptation/Configuration

• Amount of sleep

• frequency of adjusting settings

• how often you change a preference you've already set

• are you revisiting preference choices later, after setting them?

• time interval between settings changes

• frequency of computer use relative to settings changes

• how often you add new preferences

• total number of preferences

• which preferences, which categories

• Goal-defined metrics:

• frequency of common errors

• typing mistakes (erasing?)

• misclicks

• use of delete key, back button, etc.

• rooted in preference adjustment

• Qualititive, self-reflective measures

• User reports on the "quality of experience: while accomplishing a particular task

• Self-identified, self-assessment of errors, etc. 

• Metrics like the above, but articulated by users themselves rather than inferred/tracked automatically

• Allow the individual to declare the relevance of metrics to them

• Framework for encouraging ongoing, reflective self-assessment around self-defined and/or suggested questions. Could be:

• Freeform ("How am I doing today?")

• Scale-based ("On a scale of 1-10", "frequently / occasionally / seldom / never")

• "How do you interpret this metric?"

• self-defined, adjustable goals over time

• Gradual refinement of goals towards the goal you really want to achieve - discovery 

• auto-tracked details (preference adjustments etc) + personal annotations

• combine with mutual usability "testing" - work together with user to annotate over time

• user continues to have access to/ownership over notes, data, etc. gathered as part of usability testing (by virtue of it all being connected to their personal dashboard)
  
  

 Next Steps:

• generalised journal (not learner-centric)

• standard tracking with added layer of personal annotation/reflection

• include self-defined/adjustable goal tracking?
