LocaShare overview | All the users looked at the home screen for a long time to figure out how
to find the overview. They did not realize that the photo was clickable.
One user explored the map because that user thought that it indicated
the overview information of users that were able to see that user’s
location. This user then tried visiting the friends page and asked if the
user had to navigate to all friends pages to determine who all could see
this user in a particular location. Once at the profile page (after being guided
there), they were able to spot the “LocaShares Overview” button and knew
what that meant.
Found the overview pages easy to use. One user discovered a system error
when that user found a few locashare names that weren’t states listed in
the “States” tab. There was another system error when a user tried navigating
to the home screen from the overview pages using the home icon in the header. | * Photo on home page does not
give the affordance of clicking
or being a link to view the profile.
* The location of overviews did not
match the match the mental model that users had.
| * Users mentioned that a lot of
steps were necessary to accomplish
this task.
| * This task did not involve any updates
to the state of the system and therefore
no safety measures were necessary. |
