Usability Review of the iSchool website – Student Project

May 8th, 2009  |  Published in Design, Information Architecture, Usability

Jana Tate and I completed our review of the iSchool website.

Our report and presentation are included below.

This was our first usability study using tools and techniques learned from Dr. Randolph Bias in his Spring 2009 Introduction to Usability class. We learned several lessons along the way about study design, survey design, testing tools, presentation techniques and more.

The study is by no means perfect or complete, and we hope that we have the opportunity to  further refine the review of the site as we continue in our degree and certificate programs.
