Usability and Finale

Hello! Guillaume, Anissa and Luke, my partner here at UCF, have finished usability testing for our instructional document. The two are already well-versed in computer-based technologies so they found some important areas in the instruction that needed fixing. The findings were added to each draft and sent into Slack for any necessary repairs. Michael Clarke has also arranged for an informal testing from a colleague of his, so our document is mimicking the steps needed for usability testing in a professional environment. I realized that there were some issues I originally found when reviewing the document myself, but did not consider critical or in need of editing. However, in testing, the user highlighted those same issues and mentioned that they might cause confusion. Michael really worked hard to compile all of the information discovered in our user tests and our document is better now than ever before. With Guillaume’s translational help, the French document also underwent major overhauls to achieve total clarity. Guillaume also found some issues in maintaining proper layout while continuously uploading, editing, and saving different formats of the document itself. Google Docs gave us many issues, and the PDF versions I originally uploaded weren’t usable for all of the editing that needed to be done. So, that was a bit of a pain. However, our document is in its final stage. I daresay we are complete with our Google Forms instruction. I look forward to wrapping up the end results in my reflective post.
