Test and Improve Your Project

Test the saved first version against your goal. Feedback is most useful when it comes from a real attempt, not only a general opinion.

Try it with a real reader

Use feedback to decide what to change

For the welcome guide, invite someone to use the draft to find where to get local information. Notice what they do and ask what they expected. If no tester is available, follow your success criteria as a checklist and record the result.

Ask if it is goodToo broad to guide a revision

“Is this good?”

AI may give a general reaction without checking your goal.

Check it against your goalAsk for specific gaps

“Check this draft against my goal: help new neighbors find where to start. Point out any confusing headings or details that need fact-checking. Do not fill in missing local information.”

Record what happened separately from what you think it means. “They looked under ‘Services’ twice” is an observation. “The label may be unclear” is an interpretation to test. Make one targeted change, then check that it better supports the goal.

Try it yourself

Try one check and make one revision

Test with a person or the checklist, save an observation and your interpretation separately, then revise the artifact once. Keep the original first version as a record of what changed.

Test and Revision Record

Your notes save in this browser and are included in the dashboard’s learning-work export. They are not tied to a sign-in or synced to another device; clearing browser data can remove them. On paper, use the same headings and bring your notes to the next lesson.

AI can suggest, draft, and help you review. You make the decisions and choose what to keep.

How did you test it?Ask one person to try a real task without coaching, if appropriate. Otherwise use a checklist based on your goal.What did you observe?Record exact actions, questions, or checklist results. Example: ‘They looked for opening hours and did not find them.’What are you inferring?Separate your interpretation from what you saw. Example: ‘I think the headings may be unclear.’What one change did you make, and why?Choose a change that responds to an observation and supports your goal.Save the revised versionKeep your first version above in the saved record.
