Novice Experimenter: Questions and Problems

Novice Student Users: Questions and Problems

With their feedback, we can..Get an idea of what problems students face when using the website

for the first time

Gain an understanding of what the laymen considers good/bad about the site

Ultimately: find ways to make the website easier to use for newcomers

Expert Student Users: Questions and ProblemsQuestions:1. How can I sign up for

an experiment as quickly as possible? Why do I have to wait so long for a password retrieval?

2. How can avoid signing in so many times?

3. How can I filter out experiments that do not apply to me?

4. Where can I go change my account information?

Problems:1. Impatience,

Unavailable Time Slots, and Extensive Wait Time

2. Excessive Steps3. No Filtration System4. Shown options are

not intuitive (i.e. Edit Profile Change Password)

The Five Week PlanWeek 6

Interpret and Model Remaining Data At least 2-3 persons to interpret data from CI

inquiries We have aimed for 20 interviews [5 interviews for

each group] Most likely going to get 12 interviews [which is

enough]

Consolidation Build affinity & consolidate sequence models. This is to see the specific steps that we need to

redesign from the user population

The Five Week PlanWeek 7

Visioning Review consolidated data

Define key issues from the models Create high-level view of what the work flow will be

for the users This is necessary to outline what we want the new

system to do. Note that we already can see a fundamental flaw in

the existing system’s infrastructure

The Five Week PlanWeek 8

Storyboarding Make detailed stories of how new system will be

used.User Personas

Build user personas of each of the four user groups: Novice Students Novice Experimenters Expert Students Expert Experimenters

This step will refine redesigning the system

The Five Week PlanWeek 9

UI Design and Paper Prototyping Create Paper Mockup & interview one of each user

groupsCommence building Web Prototype

Build wireframes and functional prototype for new system

Skeleton of the new systemEmphasis will be on Web Prototype (we are

considering eschewing paper-prototyping to design a web-worthy prototype)

The Five Week PlanWeek 10

Continue development of Web prototypeMop up any remaining mess.
