Our third user created a folder for class before creating notes inside of them.  She explored the interface and inserted snapshots before the tasks prompting her to do so; she also assumed that the text wrapped around the image.  She browsed through notes instead of searching to find notes to review.  She did not discover the ability to click on text to jump in the video.  She also said she was unsure whether taking a snapshot would cause video recording to stop, and found the autosave confusing.

Wiki MarkupThe final user began with no difficulties creating a new note. He didn't create a new folder for the class, though. The user was confused by our \ [important keyword\] notation in the task. He thought he was supposed to use some special syntax to tag it as important. While taking notes, he was able to recognize the buttons for bulleted/numbered lists, but that he would not interrupt his flow of typing to click them so he was hoping there would be some keyboard shortcuts for added efficiency. While  While searching for all lectures with the word "learnability", he successfully used the search bar. He noted that it would be nice if he could click on an occurrence of "learnability" from this search menu and have it take him to that spot in the notes, rather than just to the beginning of the notes containing that word. While reviewing the video, the user made a good point that if the notes and the video were synced up exactly, then by clicking on the notes for a particular section the video would probably be past that point, since there is some delay between the lecturer saying the words and the user typing them. He expressed that the video slider would likely be difficult to use because the long video would result in granular video seeking with the slider. He said there might be a safety issue with pressing "record" while reviewing other video, because he wasn't sure if the video would insert where he was currently viewing or at the end. He wanted a search bar to be visible while in review mode. He also said that the video is too small and that there should be a full screen button for the video player. The user also suggested that the video might be moving too quickly to take notes along with it, especially if viewing the video at faster than normal speed, so he said we could maybe have the video automatically slow down a bit whenever the user is typing notes.
