Briefing
KaJaMi Participant Briefing
Thank you for taking the time to help us test the prototype of our system.
You will be acting as the “user”, our goal is not to test you, but to test our system and find flaws or inconsistencies that will improve the final implementation.
One person from our group will act as a “computer” who will control the experiment and provide tasks that we would like you to perform using the interface.
The other group members will act as “observers”, and will be taking notes on the experiment.
We will be asking you to perform tasks that relate to your current music director duties, but using our interface instead of what you are normally used to. At a high level these tasks will include importing digital music, previewing music and getting CMJ reporting data. We ask that you do not ask interface related questions during the test itself (as this will better help us find faults in our interface) but we can answer anything after the test is complete.
Thanks and have fun!
Scenario Tasks
Scenario |
Task |
|---|---|
Imagine you are a music director, Lana, and you wish to upload some albums to the digital library via the KaJaM! interface |
Open KaJaM! and log into the system |
You have downloaded 2 albums onto your computer: Starmarker.zip and KaJaM.zip and wish to import them to the library |
Import Starmarker.zip and KaJaM.zip into the digital library |
While KaJaM.zip is importing, you wish to preview one of the tracks |
Preview (play) a track in the KaJaM album |
The track from the KaJaM album sounds familiar, and you quickly realize you have already imported the album and don't need it again |
Delete the currently importing KaJaM album |
The Starmarker.zip file finishes importing, and you wish to make sure all the track details are correct |
Inspect track details* |
You find incorrect and incomplete track details you want to fix |
Edit track details to reflect the correct information* |
You wish to approve the album to finish loading it |
Approve the album (Note: might require going back to add required information) |
Before you leave, you wish to complete College Media Journal reporting for the week |
Take a look at the reporting data in the digital library |
You notice the reporting data is displaying all genres, but you only want to look at "Electronica/RPM" |
Filter the reporting data to show only "Electronica/RPM" |
Now all reporting data is on "Electronica/RPM" only, but it is not sorted by play count |
Sort the reporting data by play count, in descending order |
Everything looks good, but you still want to make adjustments to the reports based on physical CD play count before submitting them |
Export the reporting data to Excel file format for further editing |
Now that you are all done, you wish to go home |
Done! |
