Today in class, my group evaluated the example web essay “Haiku Deck.” After looking at this student’s interrogation of the Haiku Deck interface, I was able to take away some key items that are important to keep in mind when interrogating/analyzing an interface and presenting it on a blog.

One thing that is important that this student did not do was to separate the different sections of her interrogation into different tabs within the project’s page. Instead, the student made the entire interrogation on one page, which made it a very long page. However, despite the sections not being in different tabs, the student kept her analyses brief and to the point, so the audience was not bored with what she had to say.

Another thing that I will remember when conducting my own interface interrogation is that pictures are important to include when providing an explanation for an audience. This student used several relevant pictures that really helped me to get a grasp of what Haiku Deck is all about and how it works. I appreciated her use and placement of the pictures that she used. One thing I would suggest though would be to put more space between the pictures and the text or even to wrap the text around the pictures so that it flows better instead of the page being so long.

Overall, it helped me to see an example web essay of an interface interrogation and hear what my group members thought of the example, so I know what appeals to others and not just me.
