Final Preparations

How to describe the final weeks of the program? Chaotic progress...hmm, that works. We are collecting early drafts and looking at the progress in the project, analyizing user testing information, worked on the presentation outline for the capstone presentation, working on a summary of the cognitive walkthrough and heuristic analysis, and deciding what we each will bring to the potluck for next week. I'm amazed at the ability of everyone on the team. Thank you everyone.

User Testing

During our April 5th class with Dr. Butcher, we did user testing with other class members playing the role of the users. 7 people went through our website. Their words and some of their actions were recorded using Adobe Captivate (only 5 of the users were successfully recorded). The feedback we received was helpful. Changes have been made to parts of the powerpoint and bugs are being worked out on the drag and drop activity. Overall, users liked the junior scientist.
