INTRODUCTION
Usability testing is a critically important step in the user experience design process. In order
to create a quality experience that meets the needs of your users, you will need to collect
data and feedback from those users at multiple points in the design process. You will then
need to consider this feedback and make any necessary modifications to improve your
design.
For this task, you will submit your prototype from Task 1 for usability testing via the
“Prototype and Peer Review Dashboard” in the web links section and clicking on the “Usability
Prototype Submission Form” in the dashboard. You will then be prompted to submit recorded
feedback on your fellow students’ designs through the Panopto platform. You will need to
confirm the permissions for each of your videos are set to “Your Organization (unlisted),
anyone at your organization who has the link can view” and submit your video files on the
platform.
After you have provided user feedback for three separate prototypes, you will be able to
view the video feedback from other students on your own design. You will use this feedback
from your users to inform the remainder of your submission. You will also need to complete
and submit the “C856 Task 2 Template” for evaluation as outlined in the Requirements
section below.
By conducting usability tests and evaluating the results, you will develop a deeper
understanding of the users you are designing for and may even uncover user needs and
wants that you were previously unaware of.
Incorporating your findings into each subsequent iteration of your design allows you to create a
product that satisfies your users.
