Evaluation Research

This candidate uses the technique of having a YouTube video with a voice over and other over lapping images throughout for 3 out of the four evaluation questions. This technique is generally effective as it is visually appealing and isn't necessarily visually heavy on the text used. However, I think she could have been a bit more creative about which techniques and websites she used for each questions to explore and demonstrate her different ideas. Overall, her work is detailed and thorough.

This candidate took a completely opposite approach to Katie's (above). Although these tasks are highly detailed, they aren't visually appealing as she only used a couple of screenshots/ photographs in each question and it appears to be too chaotic due to the amount of text used. I think it looks too busy and she could have used a variety of techniques and skills to show her evaluations. Personally, I don't like this approach so I wouldn't like to use something like this in my own evaluations.

This student tried using variety of techniques by including having a YouTube video to carry out his second evaluation task and for the first and second one having software equivalent to Prezi and Slideshare to do so. This student however, didn't carry out his forth evaluation question so I wasn't able to see if he used any more different websites that I could also use.  I like how so far from the two previous blogs I looked at, he has tried using different software as well as ideas to make his tasks seem as visually appealing as possible.

This is also another example of how a student tries to use different websites to carry out their evaluation tasks. For her second evaluation task she has used Prezi, however, I feel although she tried to make it look as visually appealing as possible it does appear to look quiet busy.  For another question she uploaded a video on YouTube and added text and a voice over on top of her main product.  Her work appears to be detailed yet visually it's a bit busy.
