The small program will be released in early August, so stay tuned. A big thanks goes out to all the people that helped me!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As I have mentioned in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotthyoung.com\/blog\/2006\/04\/11\/multimedia-project\/\">previous post<\/a>, I am working on a project to teach goal-setting. I am in a prototype testing stage with the project and I would like to get some more people to try it out and give me their feedback. The project isn&#8217;t currently at a beta-testing phase, so I&#8217;m looking more for testers to give me their general thoughts as opposed to a comprehensive search for bugs and defects.<\/p>\n<p>The project attempts to combine written chapters (like an e-book) with interactive elements like those used in computer games. Each short chapter in the project will be followed with a few &#8216;levels&#8217; in the interactive section that reinforce the ideas presented earlier. This blend of interactive elements and written elements is fairly new, so I need testers to help guide me in making changes and improving it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written about half of the chapters already (each has a length of a bit longer than most my blog posts). The program likely won&#8217;t be very big when it is completed. Because of its fairly experimental format, I&#8217;m hoping to release the final version for free so I can improve it even more. If this format of interactive mixed with written elements works I am planning to follow it up with much larger and more extensive products.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve liked the articles I have written for this blog then I invite you to help me out. I have a lot of hope for the future of interactive methods of learning, but without adequate testing and feedback I won&#8217;t be able to get it past a prototype stage.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in helping out, just <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">send me a message<\/span> and I can provide the download link. The more testers I can get to give me feedback the better. When I don&#8217;t need testers anymore I&#8217;ll edit this post, so until then anyone can contact me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I no longer need testers for the prototyping project.
