Evaluation

Our briefing and user tasks required little change from GR3 as our implementation kept close to our original design. They have been rewritten and slightly revised below for reference.

Briefing

Thank you for volunteering to test our website. We're working on a design for 6.813 and believe that your feedback will help us revise our design to be more intuitive and easy to use.

Our site, Your Turn, is a toy exchange website. Imagine you're middle aged man (or woman, depending) whose daughter, Susie, has an upcoming birthday. Susie has grown out of a lot of her old dolls and trading cards, so now they're wasting storage space. You decide to donate the unused toys and want to find something nice for Susie's birthday. You recognize that she has been talking about wanting to learn how to play an instrument a lot lately.

We'll provide you with a couple tasks to try to accomplish, but feel free to explore the space. We encourage you to talk aloud as you navigate the site, especially if you find something confusing or peculiar. And don't worry about trying to find "the right way" to do things. We are testing our site, not you, so any troubles you encounter reflect a flaw in our design. Your test results will be kept confidential. Feel free to stop at any time.
