Prototype 1.1

2/28/2023 Revised Protype 1.1

Testing 3/3 - 3/10/2023

In order to gather feedback to improve our prototype we did two main activities:

1. We talked to an expert to see her perspective on how our prototype was doing to guide teachers and novice practitioners into mindfulness awareness and practices.

2. We created a survey and shared our prototype with some volunteer teachers to get their opinion on the prototype.  

For more information on the survey and get to know more about the expert please click the following links: Survey and Expert Webpage. 

Expert Feedback: Phyllis Hicks (3/3/2023)

• • Include Mindful movement under video or audio (5-20 minutes to reset nervous system)

  • Dive deep into how the brain the nervous system work 

  • Include mindfulness stress reduction exercises

  • Include exercises that would speak to the stress of not being in the native language

  • Reasearch and include "Oh!" experience

  • Include insight dialog, at least the first 2 steps

  • Link app to resources like retreats, meditation courses and other webpages for teachers

  • Include exercises that point toward being aware: "I have arrived in the here and the now"

Target population feedback: Teacher 1 (3/7/2023). 

• • Initial thought: It is a fresh app

  • Registration Process: Very simple

  • Navigation: Easy

  • Feature to add: I think is ok

  • Questions: What is this app for?

  • Doubt: None

  • Anything else: Nope

Target population feedback: Teacher 2 (3/7/2023). 

• • Initial thought: Love it! Very useful. Excellent name. People need this.

  • Registration Process: It's straightforward. Makes sense to me!

  • Navigation: Very creative for tour vs. non-tour options. That was a helpful way to allow users to jump right in and will hook them a lot quicker. 

  • Feature to add: I've explored it several times clicking all possible options, and I don't see any missing pieces that I think need to be added!

  • Questions: Not really a question, but if someone isn't familiar with seeking help from an expert or even with this concept, maybe there's a way to highlight the experts' specific research or high level offering.  

  • Doubt: I'm not sure how to get back to this page, but there was one that had two options, "Daily Thoughts" and "Praise Yourself" but I'm wondering if these can be scrapped because you already have so many resources. I wonder if these specifically would take away from the "Practices" you offer and potentially add too much for the user. Not sure though!

  • Anything else: I love it!
