Learning goal - become familiar with usability testing Before
beginning - learn about the "Think Aloud Protocol" - Work
collaboratively in groups of 3-4. - In a Google doc, develop a
series of three tasks that a user must accomplish at a website.
- One of the tasks should be to find a piece of information. -
For the purposes this exercise, the user should be able to
complete the tasks in 5-10 minutes. - Export the Google doc to a
PDF and submit it. - Pair up with a person from another group -
Follow the Think Aloud Protocol - One starts doing the other's
tasks while the other observes - Switch places. - As an
observer, what did you learn about your site's usability? - Now
that you have conducted a pilot test, how would you change your
set of tasks? - What was it like to follow the Think Aloud
Protocol as a user?
