Apps

Welcome to App design

[Bhanvee]

Please go through the following concern, that came up while deciding the content for App screens!

CONCERN No. 1

A session of say 10 candidates in audience. One speaker.

If every user puts up a question, as and when they wish.

There might be too many questions raised. As such, how will a user, go through all the upcoming questions, upvote /downvote or even comment? It might break the flow or concentration of the user while listening to the what the speaker is saying, if he repeatedly keeps checking the questions

So, what possibly could be

Solution 1- Either there is a predefined time intervals + predefined limit to number of questions. Let me explain through a example. Say the conference is of 60 minutes, and interval is set for each 5 minutes. So during each 5 minute interval, the first five questions that are raised will be valid for voting and comments.

concern here : what if a question comes to me, just after 5th minute of that interval, and I want to raise it! Do I save it on my side and upload it in the next interval?

Solution 2 - catering to the above concern, you get to save your questions as and when they come. Post it as and when you feel. But what about voting? There is a break given to the audience, to go through all the questions raised till yet, uproot and down vote.

Break either- in the middle of the session + at last as well (would divide the quantity and make it easier for each user to concentrate on each question equally well. OR - only at the last ( questions would sum up to maybe large numbers)

Solution 3 - a moderator decides relevant question. But that might bring in personal bias.

CONCERN No.1 a)

While jotting down the above, it came to mind, if for a certain question, the answer gets discussed among the audience, and the asking user is satisfied. So that question fades away or still goes for getting an answer from speaker?

Regarding above concern some more questions raise- For solution 1: If users save the questions for next interval, you can't control the quantity of questions. In the next 5 interval there will be lot of questions, than also user had to read lot of questions (burden of questions).

For seminars and webinars solution 2 will work good but if 1-2 hr conferences than meeting has to modify in such manner (if they are using this app). So due to app, modifications in meeting. Have to think about it.

A link to web conferencing reviews website that tells some essential features that should be allowed in online conferencing. Interesting read! Though something might not be valid for our concept..!

Some questions which come in our mind while designing app:

1. Active conference option, where we should include in app ? For now we have included active conference option on main screen as well as on organization screen. Main screen indicate all conferences on that day from all organizations. At organization screen, active conference indicate conferences of that organization.
2. What all options to be included on main screen under three dashes on left side of screen? For now we thought of About(ConQ), New group (inside it will be contacts, or wants to create group with organizations or some particular members from organization), Sending invites, Block contacts/Organization, Sign out, Status, Settings, Help. Anything else to include or something to delete from above options.
3. Is there a need of option, where we just type number and give a video call ? Or we select it from contacts and than a call?
4. On video calling screen, while switching from one discussion to other discussion, one will miss what has happened during that time, so how to solve that? One solution which we include for now is that even if you are in other discussion for particular time, the whole discussion will either video recorded or the whole conversation will be seen like a chat, second option also enable person to know who says what in conversation.
