Question/Task:-

Compairing and measuring the effectiveness of specific website or application.

Application:-

iii. Forward and rewind

iv. Drag the frame

v. Stop the player(done)

So, base this tiny experiment, the result that we get are base the table below.

What can you say about the efficiency of each media player on your tiny experiment?

- Media player classic (MPC) has higher efficiency compares to the other media player due to its time to learn, time to explore the media application function’s.

· What worked, what didn’t work?

- The media player that completed all taslks smoothly is MPC. It can play fullscreen, forward, rewind, pause, and stop without any constrains. VLC also completed all task but to explore the player’s function it take more time. While KMP not completed the forward and rewind becouse there is no GUI for that function.

· Where were you confused, frustrated, suprised?

- We were confused at the toolbar design in KMP because the toolbar’s symbol meaningless and unidentified. Not only that, we were frustrated at the some button that didn’t have in some media player. For example, the button for full screen that don’t have in MPC and KMP. To full screen the view, we have to double click the screen that seem unfriendly user and also increases the times of click on mouse. However, we also were suprised at the first time use KMP because we see a different graphical user interface especially the design of their toolbars that display by using symbols.

· What did you enjoy? And, most importantly, what recommendations do you have to improve all three systems.

- The thing we enjoy when did this assignment we were enjoyed watching movie even we watched using different media player because they all have same quality. For recommendations, increase the GUI so that it is easy to understand and has modern style or design. There are lot of improvement that we can implement in the media player such as, a media player that can plays all formats of video, changes the format of video, automatically download the subtitle of the video, can detects all sort movie in user hard disk and stores them in a library, can downloads media sources directly through the media player, and lastly can streaming video like Youtube.


The technique that we used to collect the requested statistics while doing this homework.

During doing this assignment, the technique that we used to collected the requested statistic is by using the camtasia studio program. By using this program, we can record the video that show the activities to use the media player classic, VLC, and KMP. We also count the number of mouse clicks, how long we take to explore the application, and the number that we switches the devices between mouse and keyboard. We did all this in three trial foe each application and record the statistics result. The result show the differences between each trial where by it contain the improvement of handling the application.

The unforeseen problem that we have when do this tiny experiment are weh can’t get the number of pages due to the application which we choose don’t have the pages because there are media application. Next, the number of mouse clicks maybe not accurate. it is because, sometimes when we do a task, we have more drag the video or less in the three trial of media application. That’s mean, we don’t do the same thing for the three media application in each trial.
