You have been solicited as a research participant for our project entitled:
The research is being conducted by:
‚ Dr. Ali Arya, School of Information Technology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada,
‚ Efetobore Mike-Ifeta, Human Computer-Interaction, School of Information Technology, Carleton
University, Ottawa, Canada,
The purpose of this user test is to evaluate the extent to which the application of social media and interactive
technology in the design of a guidance and way-finding system can enhance an individual’s interaction with a
museum.
The functions to be evaluated at this stage of development are:
‚ The user’s ability to independently plan a tour (build a tour path) based on the level of information
that the application provides.
‚ The efficiency with which the user builds that tour path
‚ The effectiveness of the system in carrying out the desired task
The user’s task in this usability test is to plan a two point tour path using the MEseum system, edit or
modify that tour path with the inclusion of a third tour point and share her timeline (tour path) with another
individual.
This research is a part of a project supervised by Dr. Ali Arya (School of Information Technology) and conducted
by Efetobore Mike-Ifeta (M.A Candidate, Human Computer Interaction, Department of Information Technology)
towards a Master’s degree at Carleton University. The result of this research will be used in Mr. Efetobore Mike-
Ifeta’s thesis and might also be published and/or presented in conferences and/or journals, as well as grant
applications.
