Notes from today's meeting with Roxanne

We took a look at my drafts of the demonstration portion of each module. I'd sent these to Roxanne via email on Tuesday, but she'd had trouble viewing them (possibly because I produced some in Camtasia 5 at TIS and some in Camtasia 6 at the IT lab). Roxanne was able to look at the keywords and controlled vocabulary module over the last couple of days and create a script and notes tied specific times in that video. I shared the rest of the modules with her via webspace - hopefully this means she'll be able to view them better. Here are the notes I took while we viewed the other videos detailing some of the changes I need to make:

• Boolean & controlled vocabulary module - I need to include a segment where I go to the search history after doing all three searches.
• PubMed module - When you do the searches while logged into MyNCBI, your search terms are highlighted. I either need to redo the module while logged in or add highlighting in Camtasia to simulate this tool. I need to remove more of Camtasia's auto-zooming from this module - especially in each search's results, when limiting the search by date, and when view the search history at the end.
• Research vs review module - I currently have a slide with citations of two articles listed, then I have a video of each scrolling through each article and highlighting relevant aspects. The citation slide shouldn't make the titles of the articles look like links (since they don't actually link). Instead, I'll include a slide after we the video portion with links to the articles for future reference. In the video portion, I need to be sure that I show the article outline (below the abstract) for each.
• Scholarly vs popular module - I need to make the same changes to the citation slide as in the research vs review module. I'll also move the chart of criteria for distinguishing between scholarly and popular articles to the end - after the interactive portion.

Another overall issue to address is that some of these videos looked much fuzzier than others, despite the fact that I made each of them in pretty much the same way. I need to check in with Matt about why this might be the case and how to make sure that each video is as clear as possible.
