Discuss your answers to the following questions in 1 paragraph: 1. How did you use the Design Specification in your survey questions? 2. How will you distribute the survey? Who will answer your survey? How many people do you need to answer your survey? 3. How will you and your intended users test the product? How will you and your intended users check for technical errors in the design of the product? 4. How will you determine if your product successfully solved or addressed the problem/situation it was intended for? I asked questions that determined whether or not others thought my creation was true to my design. To distribute it, Ill put in edmodo. Anyone can see the survey and answer it, Id like to have at least 6 people answer it. Anyone can take a look at the clock, test out its timing etc. To determine whether or not it was successful, Ill conference with random people to get their views on it.
