What I already know
I already know the use of the PhotoStory.
What I want to know
Oscar and I are going to handle one part of our visual. How do we bring them together as one final visual in Flash? Besides, each of us is going to develop one option, yet, our project has to be displayed on one screen in one go, how do we go about to do it? Further discussion on the design has to be carried out within the team to find a solution.
What I have learnt
After reflecting on the presentation of our storyboard, I learnt:
- our visual has to be focus
- when designing the visual, it will be more effective if user interactions be built-in rather than just animation.
Final Assignment – Ancient Egypt Technology
Taking into account the comments from Dr. Churchill, we decided to narrow down our project’s options from 4 to 2. Oscar will handle the “Shadow clock” and I will do the “Great Pyramid”. Here is the updated planning of our visual.
As for the Great Pyramid, the users will learn about:
- the different parts inside the Great Pyramid
- how the pyramid was sealed
- how the Egyptian leave the pyramid after sealing
The following is the newly updated storyboard of the Great Pyramid:

Your group has considered the comments and tried to represent visually in one single display. A good progress. You have a panel for showing information for the rollover of the mouse. My group will also employ the same skill. I think this skill is very useful. Besides, we need to consider how large the hotspot area is in order to represent the information efficiently. If it is too small, we may not be able to convey the information to others.

Absolutely agree! As for the hotspot area, I will try to include both the label and the related part of the diagram. Thanks for your comment.

I agree that in designing a visual display, addition of user interaction in the representation is more effective in teaching rather than just animation.
