  1. Project Web Sites

  2. Project Web Site Design Identifying users and use cases Designing content and navigation Evaluation of design

  3. Identifying Users • Who do you want to visit your page and why? • Other students at TAMU and other universities – to motivate them to participate in community-oriented activities • Students in high school – to convince them to come to TAMU • Younger students – to provide them with information for science/design activities • The public at large – to communicate about the community-oriented projects

  4. Use Cases • Discuss scenarios of use – when someone comes across your web site, what do they do? • Motivating activity or application • Discuss what is rewarding about your own experience with project and at TAMU • Providing data for learning activities • Provide examples of how the contents can be used in classes • Communicating about projects • Describe what you have learned or found interesting, provide examples of alternate designs and the choices made, photos, etc.

  5. Designing Content and Navigation • Web site navigation is crucial when one web site has multiple communities or goals • Content Issues • Differing levels of prior knowledge • Differing reading levels • Navigational choices • Navigation by content • Navigation by community

  6. Example

  7. Design Methods • Traditional waterfall model • Requirements -> design -> build -> deliver • Iterative design • design –> evaluate -> design -> evaluate … • Design rationale • Forces recording (development) of reasons for design • Participatory design • Includes stakeholders in design team

  8. Evaluation for this class • Usability vs. usefulness • Discuss pros and cons of design within project group • Show it to friends and get their feedback • Ask them what is wrong, what might be better, and what they would want to see • Have a short questionnaire or semi-structured interview • Trade feedback effort with other project groups

  9. Evaluation in Other Contexts • Heuristic evaluation with experts • Laboratory studies • Efficiency (time to task completion, tasks per hour) • Accuracy (error rate, wrong turns) • Satisfaction (user perception) • Observations in practice • Log data from interactions

  10. Have a great spring break
