I am still implementing the user study and hope to have it finished by the end of next week so we can start recruitment. We will need 48 students to complete the study. Thus, I have created an advertisement flyer and have started recruiting some eligible candidates. By the end of next week, I will also have run through the user study with a test subject (another member of the lab) to make sure everything is running smoothly.
This week I have been busy continuing my implementation of the user study in python and django. Here is some progress!
We have revised the design of our user study a little bit more. This week I have been brainstorming questions and problems that have to be completed at the end of each task to capture immediate learning. I will be removing the post-test at the end of the user study, since it does it help us to differentiate the learning that occurs at the end of every task.
This week it was my turn to present in the weekly CSI for Learning Lab meeting today. I presented on purpose and design of my user study and was received valuable input from others in the lab group on how to keep some of the variables constant to make sure they are not affecting the results.
This week I have been continuing to implement the web app. I have definitely learned that design is a very important aspect of the user study. It is important to make everything look nice and professional to not distract the user. Fixing CSS problems can also be very time consuming.
