Hello so today I will be discussing
my usability testing that
I asked up here to do.
So this person that reviewed my
course, her name is Janelle Alcock. She
is a close friend of mine who has been
teaching for five years.
So. I initially
asked her to do a
video voice over
just because I felt like it would be
better to just be able to capture
real-time thoughts and reactions,
ensuring that she wouldn't forget any
important feedback. The same feedback
that she gave as she was reviewing my
course, she answered in a
questionnaire. So the
questionnaire is broken into sections. We
have section one, Section 2 and Section
3. So section one is a brief information
about herself. She mentions her name, her
role, her work history, including grade
levels. Basically just ensuring
credibility and being a
good candidate to be able to review
my course. From there on
we have Section 1. Which
is just going over the screen
here, the modules, module one, module 2,
the course schedule, all of that.
And in there she is providing feedback.
So for her start here section, she
included that
she believes that. It would be better
to include a
section where it shows how to use Google
Classroom. She mentioned she's not very
tech savvy in the video, so she was
struggling a little on how to manage the
classroom
from there. She also mentions what she
thought worked well. She mentioned that
she thinks that the modules are
they follow good structure and
consistency and navigation.
She did feel that even though it had a
good structure, she just felt like it was
very dull, very bland. So
in order to make it more
visually appealing, she she she suggested
that I added
emojis. Which I did. So whenever
I added the Google Classroom section, I
added a little emoji. Start here, course
schedule, weekly conferences, module one,
module 2 and
these emojis. I decided not to do it in
every single material or discussion. I
decided to only do it on the topic so
that way it could help.
The persons that will be in the
course just visually being able to
see the division of the topics
because I felt like if I added it to
every material or every assessment,
things like that, it could feel too
overwhelming and confusing.
She also reviewed all material in my
course, making sure that all links did
work. She did
suggest that she thought it would be very
beneficial to add a checklist.
So I did. So I do have in
my modules, I do have learning outcomes.
So the learning outcomes
just focus on the expectations of
that module, whereas a checklist is kind
of more of a visual thing to help
students being able to ensure they are on
the right track.
She
mentioned that she would recommend the
course and that she thinks it would be a
great. It
would be. It is a great and
structured course.
I also asked Janelle to
participate in my course by completing a
discussion and focusing on.
And completing a quiz. So the reason for
this was to ensure that I'm able to see
it on my end and also to ensure that, um,
I am just
basically for me to also learn how to
work Google Classroom because I haven't
worked Google Classroom before. She
completed, um, the module one clip quiz
and the intro this. Question. Her
engagement provided clarity and assurance
regarding the course functionality and
overall user experience.
And basically
that is all.
I also have here our conversation.
I ended up messaging her today because
the other people that I had that were
going to review my. Never
going to review my course, never reached
back out to me after multiple emails.
So I decided to use Janelle, who was
available and quickly was able to
review my course.
I am thankful for the
feedback that I received.
I made the quick tweaks to my
classroom and I do feel like it looks
more visually appealing. I am.
More confident in the structure
and the usability of my course.
