<h3 id="misc-announcements">Misc announcements</h3>

<ul>
  <li>Brian De Renzi has joined us as co-supervisor. He’s very keen to help out and is also available to help with heuristic evaluations.</li>
  <li>James notes that academics sometimes don’t reply to emails and it’s totally appropriate to ping them if urgent</li>
  <li>Our feasibility assessments should happen within the next week to ensure we’ve started coding. Contact Hussein ASAP to schedule meetup.</li>
  <li>We received ethics approval! Yay!</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="siobhan-report-back">Siobhan report back</h3>

<ul>
  <li>Needs a bit more time before performing proper heuristic testing</li>
  <li>Looked for questionnaires on learnability, presence and user-comfort. Found good sources. However, there seems to be general consensus that these concepts are very difficult to quantify and measure. James suggests speaking to Brian, Edwin and Melissa about this.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="steven-report-back">Steven report back</h3>

<ul>
  <li>Basic code structure completed</li>
  <li>Can perform heuristic evaluation within the next few days</li>
  <li>Still needs to flesh out models properly</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="statistics">Statistics</h3>

<ul>
  <li>We’re worried that our power calculations might not be accurate. We’d like to consult stats department on the finer stats aspects of our study (power, MRT, questionnaires).</li>
  <li>James approved this request, and the ±R130 monetary cost. Will reimburse us as long as we bring back proof of payment.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="deliverables">Deliverables</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Schedule heuristic testing with James within the next week. Print and bring standard heuristic guidelines to meeting</li>
  <li>Experimental Design Chapter. Due date unspecified, not over 2 pages. Find out which ACM format to use</li>
  <li>Pilot planning ideas: Where are we going to host this? (makers lab, TSL, games lab, etc.)</li>
</ul>
