[Design and Technology] Resource for Unit 4 in today's Herald Sun

[Tran, Lorraine I]

Dear colleague

In today's Herald Sun 30 April, Your Time supplement, a very simple survey based on three reader views titled How to stay a step ahead, explains how they evaluate walking shoes. The article includes criteria on which the shoes can be evaluated, and discusses and rates each of the three different shoes 'tried and tested by our jury - readers give their verdict'.

This resource would be useful for introducing aspects of Unit 4, Outcome 1, key knowledge dot point 1 in the VCE Product Design and Technology Study Design
'Qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluating products, including user trials, research of users, and expert appraisal methods of product evaluation'

Regards, Lorraine.
