The first roll out of the Mentor mansion took place this week (12.10.10). It went very very well with positive feedback and excellent mentor interaction. Demonstrating the system and then allowing the mentors to interact themselves was useful, because firstly I could see how interaction worked and secondly I could view the mentors interaction.
The pilot take up for involvement in the project is slow and for many it maybe because of the newness of semester. However, working with those who are mentoring students has always been a challenge, priorities differ considerably.
A review of the Mansion has been taking part by using contacts (with those who provided data for its construction; interviews; questionnaires). Soon the wide level unveiling of the first floor of the mansion will occur.
Evaluation/Review is of the upmost importance, in terms of our development of this system.
SMART needs confirmation that the end product is purposeful and useful.
