If a mistake or slip does occur, a user can just simply click the redo button to return to the previous state as many times as is necessary to backtrack the mistake or slip. Since most features seem to match our conceptual model, the app decreases the frequency of mistakes. Good design is featured when it comes to errors because the app is specifically designed to avoid anything that can’t be undone. This use of constraints, will prevent the user from engaging in any errors. My suggestion to fix this would be to allow users to rotate or resize the object with two fingers– which is a much more common gesture. The contents within the “lasso” can then be moved to another page or another location on the same page (Figure 4.2). The user can then highlight the desired text that is on the digital paper.Īnother really amazing feature, that is not possible when using a traditional pen and paper, is the ability to “lasso” written text or images. When a user decides that they want to highlight something, they need only click on the highlighter which is found through good visibility (Figure 4.1). This is a great example of good feedback. When choosing a color for the writing instrument, (after the color has been selected) the app changes the color of the writing instrument (Figure 4). If we decide that we want to write, there is a correct signifier of a pencil/pen/marker that affords writing. Going further on our mission to complete the goal of notetaking, we are greeted with a pleasant interface where a lot of the capabilities are discoverable through signifiers.

Using the natural mapping that students typically recognize, the notebooks are separated by having a dedicated notebook assigned to each subject. Notebooks afford being written in and folders afford holding things.Īs we further click through the folder that is displayed, we are met with a set of notebooks that were created for my semester at Pratt (Figure 2). As human beings we already have conceptual models established for how notebooks and folders are used in the real world. The Documents page of the GoodNotes app is the perfect example of using mapping in order to allow users to navigate through notebooks and folders (Figure 1).
All notes are searchable so nothing can be misplaced.
