- Ryo! Fill me in! 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 Problems Questions: 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 Steps 3. No Filtration System 4. Shown options are not intuitive (i.e. Edit Profile  Change Password)

Thought it was Necessary… but Surveys Incentives Video-record

Timeline of the Next 5 Weeks Week 5: Finish student and experimenter interviews as well as the interpretation sessions Week 6: Group Meeting - analyze data, make affinity diagrams and prototypes Week 7-8: Redesign the Website and Start working on the Final Paper Week 9: Work on Final Paper and Presentation Week 10: Group Final Presentation

The Five Week Plan Week 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 Plan Week 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 Plan Week 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 Plan Week 9 UI Design and Paper Prototyping Create Paper Mockup & interview one of each user groups Commence building Web Prototype Build wireframes and functional prototype for new system Skeleton of the new system Emphasis will be on Web Prototype (we are considering eschewing paper-prototyping to design a web-worthy prototype)

The Five Week Plan Week 10 Continue development of Web prototype Mop up any remaining mess.

Expert Experimenters Difficult to reach, 5 questionnaire responses Done 3 and have 3 more contextual interviews scheduled Novice Experimenters Have access to a researcher’s account so not difficult to find – anyone who hasn’t used the site as a researcher before Watched each other try to set up experiments, will find other guinea pigs Community Access Reassurance

Expert Users Have used Experimetrix before for classes Completed 5 contextual interviews Novice Users Have never used Experimetrix before Completed 5 contextual interviews Community Access Reassurance
