We conducted six user tests with our paper prototype during the class sessions. Two of these students were international (one was a graduate student and the other was an undergrad). We also ran two additional tests on international students in a dorm. Below are typed notes regarding each task and a summary of the feedback we received regarding each task.
Task 1
Notes
- Users generally click on input field and then start typing
- A couple of users use tab to move between input fields
- User sometimes tries click on hint bubbles
- User expected correct examples in hint bubbles
- One user would have preferred separate start and end date input fields
- One user thought “Relevant Coursework” meant include a single class
- One user tried to add a long-form description into “Comment” field
- Bullet points could prompt the user to use short, direct descriptions
- “Address” field might be confusing (is it a mailing, home, or college address?)
- “Comment” field might be confusing, consider changing to “Accomplishment”, “Task”, or “Objective”
- “Add Comment” link sounds like it saves the text typed in the “Comment” field
- Missing a “Save” or “Next” button on first iteration
