This design is probably the learnability of this design is low. Here, the design goes as follows. Martin enters the today's workout and creates an event. In the event he adds his users one by one into the event he wants them to do. This establishes them in the system as a user. On the same page, after entering in a user, he can immediately start timing by clicking on the line next to a person and writing down his time. This saves it to that user listed right there on the page and so forth till practice is over. For certain tasks such as forgotten parts of the workout, adding in a new event is easy. simply hit the + new event button on image 1, and then add the people who need to be there. Afterwards, he can review previous workouts individually at the past workouts tab, or go to the graph picture to view the performance of his runners over a period of time.
Learnability | Unfortunately the learnability of the design is not the strongest. The design of each screen is different to suit each's needs. The today's workout page is a close metaphor to the original clipboard layout. The past workouts is slightly altered to fit more information in a smaller area due to being able to collapse each event to only see the runners of a specific group if you're searching the previous workouts. Learning by doing is pretty heavily focused, as there isn't much room or place for explanations. By having fields that look clickable, they will allow the coaches to click them and write. | ||||
Efficiency | This design is designed to be efficient while at practice. As a result, it's easy to add new information into the system quickly, easy to check the most recent workouts quickly, but digging through the archives is difficult. However, it is difficult to search groups of athletes as there is no sense of grouping in this design. It is made to avoid having to create profiles for each runner or athlete and to simply be able to take times down. The only thing correlating different days of workouts is the name of the athlete used. | ||||
Safety | There is little safety designed here. There is no error prevention, as the focus is on speed during workouts. Fixing errors would have to be done at a later time. In addition, there is very little error recovery built in. Maybe by double clicking on the time entered, a coach is able to edit the time, but the emphasis again is on quickly taking down numbers and fixing them later not during practice. | Safety | HI | WORLD | THREE |
