Bad Affordances on Landing Page
The During Task 2, users look for specific content uploaded by their spouse. In navigating from the landing page, the titles for “Recently Added” and “Recently Favorited” were meant to be links themselves, but we did not make that clear enough, as all three users were unaware that you could click them to bring up the mosaic view for those pictures.. However, none of the three users clicked on these links. It seems we did not give these link proper visual affordances and they just looked like static text which did not initiate any action.
Unclear Result of Mobile Upload
In Task 2 when uploading a picture from the mobile site, Users 2 and 3 both expressed that they were unclear if the picture had been uploaded on the mobile site because hitting “submit” merely removed the picture from the screen. This was due to a complete lack of a message confirming the upload had indeed happenedThere was no feedback confirming the result of their action, leaving it ambiguous.
Bad Learnability to Close Popup
When the View/Edit popup window for specific pictures came into view, clicking to view a specific picture to tag during any task, the modal view appears over the current page. Users 1 and 2 were not aware that this was in fact a popup window and it could be closed as such with the X in the top right. Perhaps the visual affordances for making it seem like a popup window were not apparent enough in our prototype or the X was not large enough and too far the from the locus of attention of the user.
Tasks Were Noticed!
One During Task 3, one great success we had was that all three users noticed the new Task to refine the tagging on their pictures they have task in the upper right corner of the landing page. This task indicates that certain pictures need to be refined that were previously uploaded from the mobile site.
