"Hello. As part of CS147, Human-Computer Interaction, we are conducting usability tests for a new app we are developing. This is a very rough low fidelity mockup with low quality graphics and limited functionality. When we ask for your feedback we are interested in what made intuitive sense to you, or not, how well or badly the process flow went, and how you liked the tools and abilities provided by the app.
As you go, please mention out loud your thoughts. What looks like a button? What kinds of motions make sense? Can you accomplish what you want to?
First, please discover where your resources come from.
How did that go?
Now, learn about political action and news.
How was that?
Finally, compare yourself to other users and other people in general.
How did that go?
Do you have any further feedback?
Thank you!"
View Raw DataThe Drop application is being produced as part of the coursework for Computer Science course CS 147 at Stanford University. Participants in experimental evaluation of the application provide data that is used to evaluate and modify the interface of Drop. Data will be collected by interview, observation and questionnaire.
Participation in this experiment is voluntary. Participants may withdraw themselves and their data at any time without fear of consequences. Concerns about the experiment may be discussed with the researchers (Megan Lu, Kelsey Josund, and Mathieu Rolfo) or with Professor James Landay, the instructor of CS 147:
