Purpose/Use
Both Mr Ashcroft and Mr Grieve were used for the same purpose: to find out about the Year 10 unit in which my product will be targeting.
CARRDSS Evaluation

Relevance: The information that I got back was relevant to what I wanted to know, since the questions I asked him were what I wanted to find out.

Relevance: This website was relevant to what I wanted to find out; which was basically how the Year 10 unit will take place. Credibility: The source is credible, written by two awarded professors at a university. Felder, the creator of the learning styles model, was one of them and received a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University.

Like the two sources above, this website was used to look into the Year 10 unit so I can get ideas of how my product could be targeted at them (my target audience). This website was used to research the different types of learning styles. From this, I would be able to brainstorm different ideas that allow for people of different learning preferences to learn from my tutorials best.

months ago. So even though there were program changes over the past years, the videos used the most updated programs and features. Credibility: The tutorials were created by a Middle School technology teacher with lots of experience in SketchUp. It may not have been completely credible due to limited expertise, but the tutorials provided sufficient information to help me with my own learning. Relevance: There were many tutorials provided and I was able to learn what I needed through them. These 5 photos of different clocks were the basis models for my tutorials. They were generated by following the Green Time website link that suggested possible ideas for the students.
