Tasks for Hosts

Host Task 1 (Feedback request stageSet up):

Upload the digital visual work ("Countryside Landscape v3.0") you want to get feedback on. This an updated version of one of your existing art piece (Project "Countryside") you've previously requested feedback on.

Host Task 2  (Feedback request stageSet up):

You want to direct the type of critique you get. This art piece is another iteration of your previous work, and at this point, you are only interested in feedback about Technique and of Emotional nature (in addition to general comments). You wish to get feedback from your peers Meelap and Katrina, and from one of your mentor, Rob. However, you don't want feedback from your peers to be visible to the mentor(s). 

Host Task 3 (Feedback view stageReview):

You got a notification that feedback that feedback was entered for your latest version and go to ArtBark. First, find out what are the comments (not specific to an area in your art-piece), coming only from your peers: you are interested in both general (non-categorized) comments, and those about "Technique". Then, given what you read, you find out all comments (coming from all reviewers) that are specific to the tree in your art piece

Host Task 4 (Feedback view stageReview):

One of your mentors, Haoqi (who you knew would be too busy to review your updated art piece this time around) had an interesting comment on a previous version, that you feel you have ignored, but you are not sure what it was. Find out all comments coming from your mentor(s), on the Feb 22 version of your art piece.

Prototype iteration description

Design for hosts setting up feedback requestHosts: Setup

• Simplified the navigation buttons so it was easier to see how to make progress in the interface.
• Users thought that the upload button would upload an image dragged onto the page, but it opened the browse dialog. That button was removed, and replaced with a more clearly labeled button inside the dashed boundaries of the drag region.
• Removed the "Unused" option in the feedback grouping page, so it was clearer that users need to select between public and private groupings.

Design for hosts Hosts: viewing feedback

• Removed the slider bar for the timeline and simply used thumbnails with dates to indicate other versions
• Renamed the "comments" section on the right to "overall comments"
• Annotated comments also appeared in the "overall comments" section, in addition to on top of the image

Design for commenters Commenters: giving feedback

• Removed all timeline functionality -- commenters can only see the most recent version
• Removed sidebar for selecting annotation type and replaced with on-the-fly selection at each new annotation
• Merged comments and annotations into the same stream with annotations as a subset of comments (comments with a picture tag)
• Removed "post" button and allowed users to edit and delete comments that have already been sent to the artist
