Student-facing instructions
Your task is to collaborate with peers to design a testing protocol for your digital portfolio prototype. You will conduct a peer testing session to gather feedback and use this to identify areas for improvement. Collect feedback systematically, synthesize it collaboratively, and document your revision decisions with the rationale for each change. You will need your digital portfolio prototype, feedback forms, and a space for collaboration.
