Summary

High-level summary to be added after testing has been completed.

Notes

Goals

For File Uploader user test we want to consider ease of use for uploading files to Sakai [fluid:to start with].

Excerpt

Research questions/goals include:

Do users realize they can upload files? Do they realize they can upload multiple files?
Are users successful at uploading a file in general? A single file from their computer? Multiple files from their computer?
Can a user find a particular file easily?
Do users recognize and understand intuitively how to upload files?
Is pause/resume upload understandable or does this confuse them
Does the user understand that you cannot "cancel" the upload until you first "pause" the upload? Is differentiating between paused and not paused states understandable to users?
Are visual affordances meaningful and helpful to users?

Success Criteria

A successful design has been achieved when:

80-90% of users can successfully upload a file from their desktop.

Protocol

Method and test coordinator script.

Uploader User Testing - Round 1 Protocol

Users

The File Uploader will be used by a wide cross-section of students and faculty in higher educational institutions. We'd like to include keyboard-only users in the user test if possible (can prototype handle keyboard nav?).

Our access to participants is limited primarily to students over faculty. We will try and include a few faculty. We want to test a range of non-technical and more tech savvy students as well as faculty members of the University of Toronto and UC Berkeley. For our user test with working prototype we will have 5-7 users [fluid:combination of students and faculty, but primarily students].

** If doing: For earlier paper-prototyping sessions we will work with a smaller number of participants.

Interaction Design
