Notes: This discussion is for collecting ideas to improving Good Point!, and for giving feedback on them.
Points:
The Good Point! site could be improved by these suggestions  
  • because: some points are not related to pros or cons, but people placed them as such. There may not be enough guidelines on how to add a point.  

    • Problem: many computer users tend to ignore written guidelines  

      • Solution: design the interaction so that the user has no choice but to do things correctly  

        • Problem: limiting the interaction restricts freedom  

  • because: the text box should have no word limit  

    • Problem: with no word limit users could add very long texts containing many points  

      • Problem: multiple arguments in one point would make it difficult to reply to individual arguments  

  • because: if my classmates add points frequently, I would also visit the site frequently  

    • Solution: maybe your classmates feel the same, so why don't you add more points?  

  • because: Good Point should have a Chinese version (Click here to see this discussion in full) 

  • because: although the presentation planner can generate the PPT for us, it cannot be saved or I don't know how to use it  

    • Solution: the presentations produced by the Presentation planner are in HTML format, and so can be saved using your browser's File > Save menu.  

  • because: categories of topics should be more clearly divided  

    • Solution: categories with a large number of topics are automatically divided into Hong Kong, China, World and Other sub-categories  

  • because: add more topics  

    • Solution: more topics are being added continuously: see the link to see the latest ones. (html) 

  • because: more promotion of site  

    • Solution: Good Point will be the subject of a workshop at a conference in June 2009  

    • Solution: Good Point! will be promoted to HKPU teachers this semester  

    • Solution: Good Point will be used on more ELC subjects this semester  

  • because: more real-time info. exchange with other sites  

    • Problem: until we have a semantic web, it is hard to dynamically update data (Semantic Web (2009) ) 

  • because: provide some video clips  

    • Solution: Good Point's reference hyperlinks can lead to external pages with video; e.g. on YouTube  

  • because: make the site colorful & more attractive  

    • Solution: a new graphic design was implemented in January 2009
