  19. Experimental method • Participants: • College students • People expressing a desire to increase amount of social activity • Environments: • Homes • Classrooms • People • Test participant • Facilitator • Observer

  20. Experimental results • Dislikes: • Confusing terminology • Confusing buttons • Unnecessary features • Too much or too little detail • Likes: • Designed to simplify • Horizontal scrolling option for event-finding

  21. Suggested UI changes • Choose more appropriate names and graphics for buttons • Remove unnecessary features • Minimize work for user • Only show the necessary information

  22. Summary of talk • What we found • Testing is highly helpful in figuring out what areas of the app can be improved • What we thought was intuitive was confusing • Where we are going • Implementing research findings in a new prototype
