Stage 2 ---- Stage 4 | 6 | Animation: |
1. Discuss with CUG the kinds of activities to be used in the animation, using public forum threads to facilitate and inform the discussion too | ||
wIME pilot evaluation: | ||
1. Used CUG discussions on facilitators and barriers to inform vignette design for pilot evaluation | ||
Stage 3 ---- Stage 4 | 7 | Animation: |
1. Character artist develop eight prototype characters. Feedback from CUG and online survey. Changes made to characters based on feedback and least popular ones removed. | ||
