Group 2 made a chronological T9 style keyboard. Too much time spent scanning + the extra tap to get a letter … 7.2 avg WPM
Group 3 made a chronological a-z keyboard that spanned 2 screens. Even more time spent scanning … 6.8 avg WPM
Group 4 tried to think out of the box… Screen starts with the most common letters in the English alphabet … after a letter is selected, you are surrounded with the most likely letters to follow. Swipe right for more letters. Too much time scanning and not intuitive to most… 6.6 avg WPM
Group 5 - another chronological T9 style keyboard… 7.3 avg WPM
Group 6 combined QWERTY with predictive letter suggestions… second screen added too much scanning time… 7. 1 avg WPM
Group 7 went with the trusted one screen QWERTY with predictive text… 18! avg WPM
Group 8 - also QWERTY with letter highlighting. 8.6 avg WPM
Group 9 - grouped chronologically with second screen - performed much better than I expected - 12.78 WPM
In retrospect, I think group 9 biased their predictive text to their text dataset to make things faster. Performance should really be around 7-8 WPM
Group 10 - T9 with the vowels positioned around the edges - 6.68 WPM
Group 12 - Chronological T9 - 6.98 WPM
Group 13 - another T9 - 6.89 WPM
Group 14 - chronological keyboard in 2 screens - 6.45 WPM
Group 15 - QWERTY 😀 - 13.8 WPM
Group 16 - Another T9 - 7.9 WPM
Group 17 - Another grouped chronological keyboard - 6.67 WPM
Group 18 - Basic QWERTY - 13.98 WPM
Group 19 - QWERTY with predictive text - 18.2 WPM
Group 20 - chronological across 3 screens - 5.9 WPM
Group 21 - T9 - around 7 WPM
22 - QWERTY - around 9.9 WPM … this should have performed better.
23 - Focused on the vowels but expands to T9 - 5.81 WPM
Last one 😅 24 - multi tap T9 - 5.4 WPM
That was a lot 🤣 Thank you for hanging with me. So proud of these students accomplished.
Summary:
* QWERTY is king … predictive text even better.
* the higher the screens, or taps required the slower you type.
* chronological keyboards are not as intuitive as we imagine on keyboards.
