Feedback on UI Options from recent GPII demo

[Colin Clark]

Hi everyone,

I thought you might appreciate this comment from Jim Tobias after a recent demonstration of the GPII personalization framework in Washington, D.C. Part of the demo includes the Floe demo of UI Options integrated with the Video Player, showcasing personalized OER content delivery. Here's what Jim had to say about it:

> "Learner Options" 
> This is brilliant for demo'ing. People who have seen web pages that allow
> simple text size changes get the idea right away and are blown away by the
> depth of choice and the immediacy. We should do something more with it for
> demos; see recommendations below. For the default view of the Mammals page,
> the Table of Contents shows up in light blue on a dark blue background. This
> should be higher contrast. Under 'text and display' ...' colour & contrast'
> -- the choices are a bit confusing because they change color when
> highlighted.

Some good suggestions and a lot of enthusiasm for our tools!
