Changes
• Research Section
– From Cognitive Walkthrough and User
Testing, users were confused with the
Answer/Edit button
– Redesigned the page so that it follows a
more standard format with a two-column
format and text boxes for each question.
Flexibility and Efficiency of Use &
Visibility of System Status
Changes (continued)
• Log in
– From critiques in discussion, it was suggested that
people might want to go back to look at their previous
researches or interviews.
– So we added an optional log in system which will
allow people to save their previous work, and resume
a task not finished
User Control And Freedom
Changes (continued)
• Navigation Bar
– From the Design Review, people wanted to see a
sitemap or an outline of where they are
– Navigation bar on the left so users can see their
progress through the system and can easily change
to a different section
Visibility Of System Status
Changes (continued)
• Save Voice Recordings
– From User Testing, the user did not see this option
until the bottom of the page.
– We removed the additional page for saving voice
recordings, and put the saving links onto the
Evaluation page so people can save each recording
during evaluation instead of at the end.
User Control
And Freedom
Changes (continued)
• Re-recording Voice Recordings
– In User Testing, a user said that she wants to be
able to re-record her voice recordings.
– We added this option to keep consistent with the
text boxes because users can edit typed answers, so
they should be able to edit voice recordings.
Consistency and Standards &
User Control And Freedom
Changes (continued)
• Message Board
– In Task Analysis and Design Critique, users have
said they want to hear opinions from other people
regarding interview experiences or wardrobe
suggestions
– So we will add a message board for all users with
a log in so they can share information
