User Interface Design 1.0
In the original design we had four tabs at the top: Profile, Jobs, Schedule, and Contacts. These swapped between screens. The names were confusing and not sufficently self-descriptive. After an initial user test, we made the change to design 1.5.

User Testing Notes:
Round 1:
User 1:
Task 1 - post your avalibility
...
- Tabs are not self descriptive
- From the parent's perspective, it seems strange to call them 'jobs'
User 2:
Task 1
- While viewing the contacts pop-up, asks "Can I just click on the background to make this go away?" (instead of clicking the small exit button)
...
- Had trouble realizing he had to click 'edit schedule'. Tried clicking 'display schedule'.
- Wasn't sure what, if any, the default color to paint is. If we want it to be 'good' we may wish to highlight this.
- "Every week I have to come enter/reenter my schedule?"
- Suggested log in/out button.
