  8. Background

  9. Study Objectives • SEARCH • RETRIEVE • REVIEW • DOWNLOAD

  10. Proposed Methodology • Objectives: • Determine if; • Users are capable of successfully uploading a symbol(s); • users are capable of successfully categorizing a symbol(s); • users are capable of successfully adding metadata for said symbols(s); • users are capable of successfully reviewing symbols after they have been uploaded and; • if there are any recurring issues or difficulties with the tool that the users experienced.

  11. Proposed Methodology • Quality metric to determine: • Success rate; • Time required; • Error rate; • Subjective satisfaction/dissatisfaction of the symbology sharing tool.

  12. Proposed Methodology Breakdown - 4 Parts: Structured interview; Written tasks and semi-structured survey; Perform tasks and complete survey; Compile/analyze results.

  13. Proposed Project Timeline 10 weeks

  14. Anticipated Results
