4. VCC: What are the Issues? Creating VCC is a problem of systems integration, performance support, and interaction design. How will users need to relate to the system? How will users need to relate to the system? What tasks do users need to perform, and how are these tasks structured? What tasks do users need to perform, and how are these tasks structured? What tools, materials, and resources will the user interface supply, and how will these elements be organized? What tools, materials, and resources will the user interface supply, and how will these elements be organized?

5. VCC: Design Approach A usage-centered design process will be applied. The usage-centered design process is a software engineering process which models: the roles people play in their interactions with a system the roles people play in their interactions with a system the tasks they perform through the system, & the tasks they perform through the system, & the content of the system's interface the content of the system's interface

6. Usage-Centered Design

7. VCC: Research Structure Role and task models will be shown to key staff members to get feedback on the accuracy, inclusiveness, and relative importance of the roles and tasks depicted. Role and task models will be shown to key staff members to get feedback on the accuracy, inclusiveness, and relative importance of the roles and tasks depicted. An initial wireframe will be created based on the UCD models, and this will undergo a usability inspection by the client and key staff. An initial wireframe will be created based on the UCD models, and this will undergo a usability inspection by the client and key staff. A revised wireframe will undergo a second usability inspection. A revised wireframe will undergo a second usability inspection. Limited usability test with a low-fidelity, paper prototype (an elaboration of the wireframe). Limited usability test with a low-fidelity, paper prototype (an elaboration of the wireframe). Final revisions to wireframe & paper prototype. Final revisions to wireframe & paper prototype.

10. Training Development Tools: Research Structure Conduct mini-survey on types of trainings AT Priority Project would like to create using software tools Conduct mini-survey on types of trainings AT Priority Project would like to create using software tools Research accessibility issues and ease of use related to five different software tools. Research accessibility issues and ease of use related to five different software tools. Based on results from mini-survey and research on accessibility and ease of use, identify two tools for inclusion in collaboratory Based on results from mini-survey and research on accessibility and ease of use, identify two tools for inclusion in collaboratory

11. Training Development Tools: Research Structure Design and develop support for usage of associated features found in software tools Design and develop support for usage of associated features found in software tools Conduct usability testing and post survey of designed support Conduct usability testing and post survey of designed support Re-design and implement support Re-design and implement support Create plan for on-going evaluation of support Create plan for on-going evaluation of support

12. Adobe Connect: What are the Issues Determine if instructional support is needed for Adobe Connect to be used in the Virtual Collaboration Center Determine if instructional support is needed for Adobe Connect to be used in the Virtual Collaboration Center If so: If so: On what featuresOn what features To what level of detailTo what level of detail What formatWhat format

13. Adobe Connect: Research Structure At least two rounds of usability testing At least two rounds of usability testing One prior to development of instructional support One prior to development of instructional support One after development of instructional support One after development of instructional support
