In general, we found that users of our modified design enjoyed the interface and had little difficulty completing the tasks.  All users were successfully able to begin recording video, take notes, and correct their notes by re-watching the appropriate section of video, without any additional help.  We noticed that the users of our revised design were able to complete the note-correction task much more quickly, and with less confusion, than in the original design since they could edit notes while reviewing video.  We have included more detailed observations about each test user below.TODO: User 1 observations here

The first user we tested the new design on instantly created new notes.  Only after he was in the editing interface did he wonder how to organize his notes.  User took somewhat longer to navigate the take snapshot interface than some of the other people we tested with.  When he went to the reviewing tasks, he realized how to create folders to organize his notes.  He discovered the click on the tex to jump in the video affordance.  He wished there was a pause button as well as a stop, since stop makes him think the video will reset to the beginning, which wasn't the case in our design.

Our second testing user expressed quite a bit of interest in the design - in fact he said that he has developed similar software himself.  His general reaction was that the interface was fairly intuitive, and he expressed that the behavior was consistent with basically every other text editor he had used.  After the test he expressed that it was a good interface, and he was really happy that he could change playback speeds when reviewing video.  His one gripe was that inserting snapshots popped up a window to crop it right away - he would have preferred inserting it immediately and optionally going back to crop it later.
