Planned March/April:  Accessibility testing at Landmark College and ATRC

Summary

Notes

The Uploader will be used by a wide cross-section of students and faculty in higher educational institutions.

This round of testing will mostly focus on users who use assistive technologies (i.e. keyboard-only users, screen reader users).

Goals

Success Criteria

A successful design has been achieved when:

• 75% of users realize they can move portlets after exploring the interface.
• 50% of users realize immediately they can move portlets.
• 75% of users can successfully drag a portlet to a chosen location and drop it.
• 75% of users can differentiate between locked and unlocked portlets and understand that they cannot move locked portlets.

Protocol

Users

The goal is to test across a range of users in higher education.  We want to get feedback from a variety of roles, experience levels, time and level in school, institutions, etc.  For more on choosing and recruiting users for testing see Selecting and Recruiting User Test Participants.

How many users to test? Neilson suggests that testing 5 users, with a minimum of 3 from each user group, within an iterative design process should be sufficient to find most usability issues.
