May Update

Just reporting that I haven't made much progress with project as I have been snowed under with corrections.

However, before exams started I was able to chat to some students to get their opinions on what would work or wouldn't work for them.  I found that the option to use Bonfyre to post problems or questions on a topic to class mates was not favoured for two reasons 1) they had their own favoured communication channels and 2) they felt that the threads would move onto other questions before theirs was answered and they would get confused or frustrated.  Also, the mobile glossary app did not appeal to them as they felt they tended to have access to info they needed already in webcourses.  The idea of having solutions with hotspots to find out where the figures came from or why they there really appealed to them so it appears that this is the direction my project will take.
