Briefing

Thank you for volunteering to test our prototype for 6.813/6.831 User Interface Design.  Our website is a tool designed for parents of school-aged children to coordinate carpooling for school and after-school activities. Our goal is to create an easy-to-use interface that makes it easy to set up carpools, helps users keep track of commitments, allows for scheduling flexibility, and ensures the safety of the children.

Scenario and Tasks

We have created three roles in which you will play the parts of various parents participating in a carpool.

First Role

Your name is Jane, you have a son, Bob, who has signed up for Tennis Camp, and you want to carpool with other parents. The coach introduced all the parents to Get Your Ride when you signed up for camp and provided you with the following ID code: "09jglkwp4".

  • Task 1: Log in to Get Your Ride; your email address is "jane@gmail.com", and your password is "enaj". Join the carpool for your son’s activity and send invites to Chang, Vladimir, and Yoshi. 

You have a feeling your turn to drive is coming up, but you aren’t quite sure when.

  • Task 2: Get the next date and map for your next drive.

A few weeks later, you realize that you cannot drive on one of your dates for the Underwater Basket Weaving carpool.

  • Task 3: Swap one of your dates for a new one.
Second Role

Your name is Billy Bob, one of the other parents in Jane’s Underwater Basket Weaving carpool. Your email address is "billybob@gmail.com", and your password is "bobyllib". Jane has proposed to swap dates with you, and you need to accept her proposal to complete the swap.

  • Task 4: Agree to swap dates with Jane.
Third Role

Your name is Alyssa, another one of the other parents in Jane’s Underwater Basket Weaving carpool. It is your turn to pick up the kids, but the other parents want to know that their kids are safe. Luckily, we have a mechanism for letting them keep track of where you are on the pickup route.

  • Task 5: Use the mobile app to allow the other parents to track your drive.
