Let's play the feedback game

Published: 26 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes a method for getting user feedback from Finnish primary school students as a part of usability and concept evaluation for an educational poetry writing tool. The game-like method uses smiling faces on a physical game board and physical tokens to answer questions on the evaluated system.
