GR3: Paper Prototyping
Prototype Photos
Digital photos of the pieces of your prototype. Show the prototype in interesting states; don't just show a blank window. Although you will iterate your paper prototype during this assignment, the photos only need to show one iteration.
Briefing
The briefing you gave to users that describes orally the purpose of the application and background information about the domain.
This briefing should be at most a page of information about the purpose of your application and any background information about the domain that may be needed by your test users (who may be classmates) to understand it. These are your notes for the briefing, so make them short, simple and clear, not dense wordy paragraphs. This is not a manual or quick-reference card. It should not describe how to use the interface.
Scenario Tasks
The tasks you gave to users, as you wrote them on the cards. Your scenario should have involved at least three tasks. You should write these tasks down to give to your users. Just write the concrete goal(s) of the task (e.g. "buy milk, tomatoes, and bread"). Don't write the specific steps to follow, since that's for your users to figure out. The tasks should be brief, roughly 5 minutes to run.
Host User Class
Host Task 1 (Feedback request stage) Upload the digital visual work ("Countryside Landscape") you want to get feedback on. Specify that this is an updated version of an existing art piece you've requested feedback on previously.
Host Task 2 (Feedback request stage) Customize the type(s) of critique you are looking for. In addition to general comments, at this point you are only interested in feedback about "Context", "Technique", and of "Emotional" nature.
Host Task 3 (Feedback request stage) Select the individuals and groups you would like to get feedback from: your peers Amy and Kyle, and your mentor Rob. You don't want feedback from your peers to be visible by the mentor(s).
Host Task 4 (Feedback view stage) Find out what are the comments (not specific to an area in your art-piece), coming only from your peers. Identify general (non-categorized) comments, and those about "Technique".
Host Task 5 (Feedback view stage) Find out all comments (coming from all reviewers) that are specific to the background in your art piece.
Host Task 6 (Feedback view stage) Find out all comments, from all types, coming from your mentors, on the Feb 22 (previous) version of your art piece.
Commenter User Class
Commenter Task 1 Enter a comment explaining that you disagree with the other reviewer's comment on the right. Make it clear that your comment is of "Emotional" nature.
Commenter Task 2 Enter a comment regarding the "Technique" used. You want to make sure the artist knows which area of the art piece (Foilage of the tree) this comment relates to.
Commenter Task 3 You actually meant to have the comment regarding the Foilage be about "Context" (no leaves in the winter season!). Edit the type of comment.
Commenter Task 4 Rate this version of the art piece.
Observations
Usability problems you discovered from the testing. Describe critical incidents encountered by the users, but don't record users' names. Record these as a series of high-level takeaways, focusing on the usability problems you saw, rather than what each participant did. For instance, you might describe how you had some learnability issues with your prototype, as evidenced by users B and C clicking all of the menus to try to find option X.
Prototype iteration
You did two rounds of paper prototyping. Describe how your prototype changed between those two rounds.
