GR2 - Designs
NOTE: In light of the feedback we have received, our GR1 now reflects our focus on the story tourists user group and the tourist guides user group. For a more detailed description as to why, please see our GR1 page.
Task Analysis
Before coming up with our scenario, we analyzed the needs of the two user groups we were focusing on (the Story Tourists and Tour Guides) and came up with 4 higher level tasks that would be important to our user groups and which needed to be accomplished through our designs:
- Find out about events on campus
- Facilitate interaction between tour guides and tourists
- Facilitate student-tourist interactions
- Find out about general stats/frequently asked general questions easily
Scenario
Alex is a sophomore tour guide at college. He is a current Engineering major who lives in one of the co-ed dorms on campus. Aside from Engineering, he is involved in intramural sports and is an editor for the college newspaper.
...
At the end of the tour, Taylor provides Alex feedback on the tour through the system (Task 2). He is then able to set up a tour of the dorm he's interested in, with one of the students who had a description in the system. He sees through the system that the student is a business major and plans to ask the student questions about the college's business school and more about the major (Task 3).
