Usability Instructions

Note: You can add more tasks, if desired.

(Suggestion: try to work with three volunteers to gain a better understanding of how well your interface functions).

Usability Study Basics

Volunteer Instructions

1. Thank you for volunteering to help me understand this interface. (With your permission, I will be recording the audio from this usability study).

2. In this study, you will need to imagine yourself at times as a community partner (business or nonprofit), at other times as the student seeking an internship opportunity, and lastly as the manager or faculty member. I’m going to ask you to complete five tasks using my community engagement app mock-up.

3. When completing these tasks, you can only make choices, as there are no mistakes, only choices. Please don’t feel any pressure to preform a certain way.

4. When you perform the tasks please think out loud so I can understand what you’re thinking as you complete these tasks.

5. If you get lost, don’t feel like you made a mistake. Even if you do get lost, that will only help me understand this interface better so I can improve it.

6. Please know that I cannot help you complete these tasks. So please don’t ask me what to do, or what certain icons represent, as that would hurt the results of our study. Thank you.
