MIT Open - Meeting Notes 11/29/17
Peter, Rob, Mark
1. We reviewed UX Strategy Deck
2. We reviewed the 3 stories in order to determine precisely what pages we want to test.
3. We honed in on the following as candidates for the clickable prototype:
Ramon:
- Arrives on home page and explores what it contains
- Performs search and explores search result
- Finds an appealing course and signs up
Hsu
- Arrives on theme page and explore what it contains
- Visits specific detail page and notes recommendations
- Explores other members and wants to make connections
- Signs up for notifications
4. We decided that the primary goals of the test will be to focus on the following questions:
- Do they understand the concept of MIT Open in general and of the specific page they're visiting?
- Does the experience resonate and appeal to them?
- Do they understand what they can do on any particular page - what are the possibilities?
5. We decided that the nature of the test will be to
- Present a series of pages
- Narrate the user through a focused series of tasks.
- Pose open-ended and task-based questions at each stage of the test – (what can you do here? what do you think? would you use this? how would you...?)
6. We decided that the current sketches are directionally accurate – they contain the elements that we want to test – but we may want to:
- Shift levels of visual emphasis or hierarchy on the overall page, in order to clarify primary goals for each page – for example, make search bigger, or increase presence of people / members on page.
- Reconsider some details around specific page elements – like the proportions and elements of a "card"
7. We decided that we want to keep more or less the same level of "high-fidelity"
Any other thoughts?...
