We chose users who had a desire to travel to foreign places and had different travel. For example, young people who travel through Europe do so "by the heals of their pants," jumping from hostel to hostel. Older travelers, however, probably want a more set-in-stone schedule. Older travelers are probably more experienced in traveling, as well.
Procedure
We read the briefing (below) to each user. We then gave each task on an index card to each user. The next card was given when the user completed the task on the current card. No demo was given to any user.
Briefing
SMak helps you plan your schedule. When people travel to foreign countries, they typically know what you want to see but not how to go about doing it. With SMak, your job is to specify what your activities are and give hints as to how you want to carry out those activities. Smak's job is to help fill in the details of your schedule: how to get from place to place, in what order to do your activities---these sorts of things.
