Briefing
ChildFeed is a web app that allows daycare workers to share information about children under their care to the children’s parents in real time.
Using ChildFeed, daycare workers can notify parents of:
- when their child has been checked-in and checked-out of the daycare
- what their child ate that day and how much
- what general mood and energy level their child was in that day
- special events with custom text and attached photos
In addition to checking their feed, parents can also analyze daily information using customizable visual representations.
Note that ChildFeed is meant to be a one way communication system from the daycare workers to the parents. Also, ChildFeed is not designed to be used in cases of emergency.
In this scenario, you are Dan Donald a day care worker. We will be giving you a series of tasks that we would like you to try your best to accomplish using our prototype interface. As you attempt these tasks, we ask that you vocalize your thought process to the best of your ability, so that we can better understand what is clear and unclear in our design. Note that there are no wrong answers and that we just ask you to try your best at accomplishing the given tasks.
Thanks for your help and remember that you are free to leave the experiment at any time.
