Checklist+Ideas

Looks good, Jeannette. We will only need 5 printed. Okay, so here is the complete doc link and a small ping copy for you to see. let me know if ths is okay and I'll print some off asap J

Here is the latest ... I realized that by having all participants on one sheet we would run into trouble, so the latest has one sheet per participant:

What do you think? I think this works beautifully! I like how all is on the one sheet...very efficient and easy to understand.





Above is a png so you can't edit it - I also included the .doc above so that you //can// edit. If you make changes, please post the changes on this page. I used Jing to capture a screen shot of the file, then just posted the .doc. Thanks, R

After perusing Preece et a., I wonder if we should be more specific in our rating scaling criteria? For example, Then we have a better idea of what the choice of number indicates. Just a thought!
 * 1) Impossible to do
 * 2) Needed Help
 * 3) Difficult
 * OK
 * 1) Easy

As the mock up we have is not too complex for our testers at this point, I suggest that we also include a short overall opinion questionnaire for our classmates to fill out after completing several specific tasks. We could have a general summative question sheet such as the following...this is a suggestion from Preece et al. (p. 609)
 * 1) What did you like about VirtiCue?
 * 2) What did you not like about Virticue?
 * 3) What did you find confusing, complex, or difficult to use in VirtiCue?
 * 4) How would you suggest improving VirtiCue?
 * 5) Are there any tasks that we have not considered that you think we should include?
 * 6) Was it easy to find your way around?

This would provide us with general feedback, either as interview questions at the time of testing the prototype, or using paper/pencil, so can reflect and not feel constrained about what they wish to impart to us. JJ

According to Preece et al, (p. 628), //"combinatins of approaches and methods are often used to obtain different perspectives....the methods used in field studies tend to involve observation, interviews, or informal discussions with participants....Questionnaires may also be used....Each type of data tells the story from a different point of view." T//hey state that these variations give a broad picture of how well design fits into **usability** and **user** experience goasl that **we have identified.**
