Thank you for evaluating our prototype!  Please see our main wiki page for a description of our app and the problem it is meant to solve.

Platform: Web browser on PC/Mac or mobile (preferably try it on both).  For mobile, best viewed with phone on its side.  Javascript must be enabled.
This prototype has been tested with: Firefox 12.0 and Chrome 16.0 on Ubuntu; Chrome 10.7.3 on Mac

Child homepage: http://rchasin.scripts.mit.edu/6.813/gr4/ChildMain.html*
Parent homepage: http://rchasin.scripts.mit.edu/6.813/gr4/parent.html*

What works and what doesn’t:
On all pages, you can interact with the UI but it will not change any data in the back-end.  Therefore no changes will display on the pages.

On the child main page, the check-ins are produced randomly, so they will change each time you revisit it.  Attempting to view more gives you more random check-ins.  On the parent main page, they are static, and you cannot view any more of them (to be implemented later).

(Note: deleting checkins from the parent’s schedule appears to have no effect because it does not change pages, and the data remains the same)

Scenario:
Feel free to explore the prototype, but here is the scenario from GR3 (copied with a few changes - removal of the child tasks that involve a phone notification):

Parent Tasks
You are a parent, and your name is Marge.
Task 1: You expect Lisa to be home now, but she isn’t here. Please ask Lisa to check in now.
Task 2: You want to know where Lisa was when she last checked in. Please view the details of Lisa’s latest CheckIn and tell us where she was last.
Task 3: You know Bart is out at a party. Please ask him to check in later today at 10pm and ask him which friends he is with, so you’ll know he’s ok before you go to bed.
Task 4: Lisa just joined a soccer team, and so she’ll be getting in late many days because of practice. Please schedule a CheckIn every Tuesday at 6pm for Lisa.

Child Tasks
You are a child, and your name is Bart.
Task 1: Later this afternoon, you want to check when your next CheckIn request is. It is now 4:45 on Friday. When is your next CheckIn?
Task 2: You realize that your next CheckIn is soon, so you decide to CheckIn now so you do not need to worry about it later.
Task 3: The party you are at starts to get crazy, and you would like to leave. Please request a ride.
