2. Importance of Survey
The point of having a survey was to test the fitness for
purpose of my website, in other words, to test whether was
website was useful and easy to use and navigate through
This was done by providing a short and simple quiz on
www.surveymonkey.com
The quiz was sent as a survey so it was easier to collect
results and analyze them.
My survey link was:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N29RSHR
Conducting the survey also enabled me to learn from my
mistakes and make final improvements on my website which
would further enhance the effectiveness of the revision
website being more useful and helpful.
3. My Survey
To test how effective the information I put on the website was for my target users, Year 10, I created a short survey
which acted like a short test to show evidence in areas such as ease of navigation: how easily could they find the
answer, and how useful and helpful the revision information was when it came to answering the questions I gave.

wrong with ‘speed’. This may have been a mistake as communicate this concept has been successful
some users may have guessed, thinking it was the
obvious answer coming from the name ‘SPEED-time
graph’. However, I think from this data, I will check
over my revision information and clarify points such as
this concept, maybe by bolding and underlining key
words. For example, if on my website, when
discussing the speed-time graphs, I could display my
information like this: ‘Speed-Time graphs show
acceleration’
5. RESULTS!
Q3 results:
As you can see from the results shown above, the answers target
users gave was quite spread out, but still the majority got the right
answer which is ‘Change in Velocity’. This means that this concept
is communicated quite clearly, but maybe it the format of how the
information is given should be changed a little bit to make it easier
for other people who find answering these questions difficult. I
could do this by putting this sole concept in its own textbox so that
it is highlighted and emphasized.
Q4 results:
This question was to test the ease of navigation by seeing how
many clicks it took to find an answer to a question. The results are
quite scattered. Most people found the answer within 1 -2 clicks,
but others found it more difficult and so they answered the number
of clicks it took to range from 3-6. The odd result was that very few
people had to click more than 10 times. This shows that I may need
to consider editing the layout of my information to make it easier for
my target users to find information. I plan to add references. For
example, if one target user is in one section studying a concept, I
could say that more information is shown or also explained in
another section. This would hopefully make it easier for year 10s to
answer questions such as this in the least possible time.

very successful, and the target users seem to be able to
understand and use it.
7. RESULTS!
Q7 results:
The answers for this question was ‘Tired Driver’ or
‘Drunk Driver’. As you can see 100% of users
answered both these answers, but since the test is
given in the form of a survey, answers could not be
limited to two when this survey was made, so a small
number, very few people, gave three answers, showing
they did not read the question correctly, but got the
answers right. Therefore, there is no need to correct
any of this revision information, as this concept is
clearly communicated.
Q8 results:
The answers for this question was: ‘Wet/Icy Road’and
‘Worn out Tires’. As you can see from the image on the
left, all users who answered this question got it correct
and showed complete understanding of the concept.
Overall, for both question 7 and 8, they ask similar
questions and generally, the users have understood
the concept.
8. RESULTS!
Q9 & 10 results:
All users answered both these questions correctly. The answer for Q9 was : ‘Thinking Distance + Braking Distance’(or vice versa)
which is shown on the image above to the left. The answer for Q10 was ‘the object remains stationary or remains moving at a
constant speed’. This is reflected in the image shown on the above right. There may be slight variations in the answers given, such
as ‘inertia' but it is defined as ‘property of matter which remains in a state of rest or retains its velocity along a straight line’. This may
not be accepted in mark schemes, but the basic concept is similar to the one I was trying to obtain by asking this question, showing
the user has a good understanding, but may need to refine his revision a little on this concept. I could do this by making a small sub-
section titled ‘the difference between the outcomes of balanced forces and inertia’, so the differences can be pointed out.
9. Conclusion
Overall, the results from this test have
showed that the information presenting on
the revision website is very useful and has
been effectively communicated, however,
some areas may need some refining and
touch up.
10. Evaluation
The data collected has helped me to point out tiny
errors that remain.
Therefore, final corrections have been made to finally
enhance the effectiveness of the website before it is
able to be launched as a website open to many
younger years to use.
Now, I hope the information provided is sufficient
enough and is clearly communicated enough so that
users will cause minimum errors of their own, and that
the revision website will be sustained in its use, so that
future younger years to come will also find this website
useful, as it is on par with the syllabus (as stated on
the website).
