Usability Report #1

TEEL 3162 DC Circuits Theory Laboratory Web Page

EdTec - Online Session 4

 
  Subjects
 

Three people took part. One was a professor of the Electronics Department with a background in Computer Engineering. Another one has a background in Quality Control and Statistics with some experience electronics. The third subject has very little knowledge of the field.


  Think Aloud Task
  Find out how would you measure resistance.


  Summary of Think Aloud Task
 

All three users found the correct page where the procedure to measure resistance will be. No one had trouble with the navigation bar. One of them said that he would like another picture on the home page. All said that the design was simple, clear with pleasant colors.


  Summary of Post-Test Interview
  All the users suggested that text in the navigation bar should be larger and that the light blue text should lighter to make easier the reading.

One of them said that he would like more animation or interactive resources on the site. Another one suggested to provide the opportunity to see a larger view of the pictures.

All of them said that the navigation was easy.


  Findings to be Implemented
  As a result of the test, I will make the following changes:
  • Increase the text size and light up more the light blue text of the navigation bar
  • Provide the opportunity to see a larger view of the resistor pictures.

  Findings that will not be Implemented
 
I do not foresee including many animations or another photo in the home page. Animations will take a lot of time to design and right now the main purpose is to provide the students the opportunity to review lab concepts and procedures out of lab hours.
