Students evaluate the usability of "My Page"
2013-12-13During the fall of 2013, students on the course ISGC16 "Usability testing, prototyping and evaluation" were asked to evaluate "My Page" at Karlstad University's website through user tests. "My Page" was tested in two iterations with 30 students users.
"My Page" provides features for students such as course registration, sign up for exams, and exam results. The user tests showed that the "My Page" also includes some unexpected features such as "My notices". Further, users found it troublesome to navigate to "My Page", to interpret the menu headings and to logout.
The results of the three student groups' usability testing has now been summarized by two students and sent to the web team, to help increase the usability of the students' "My Page" and Kau.se in general.
