Soon after your walkthrough you should meet with your client, user experience experts (graduate students), the HU4628 heuristic evaluations and instructors to gather their feedback on your design. After meeting with your client, user experience experts and instructors you should list your design changes in a document.

Feedback from Client (Scientist)

Email your scientist/client before your presentation informing your scientist about the presentation and that you will need to meet after your presentation to get their feedback. You should suggest meeting times. Allow the scientist two days to watch the video. I will email links to the video the night of your presentation. If you do not hear from your scientist/client in one business, email a reminder.

Soon after your walkthrough, your team should meet with your client (scientist) and discuss the design changes suggested by the cognitive walkthrough. The purpose of the meeting is for the scientist to give you feedback on your design and to indicate any missing component or content. Your team should have sketches (hand or software drawn) of your application design, the list of data that the app will store and details of the instructional and other content for the app for your scientist to review. Email the documents to the scientist before your meeting. You may explain the application to the scientist by reading your nominal use scenario if the scientist did not attend the cognitive walkthrough.

During the meeting with your scientist/client you should tell the scientist about your team website. You should have them visit your team website during the meeting and tell them that you will post updates and more information on the website.

Record your meeting notes with the client (scientists) and post them on your team website.

Feedback from User Experience Experts (Graduate Student)

After you receive the heuristic evaluation from the graduate student , your team should meet with the graduate students that preformed the heuristic evaluation of your app. The purpose of the meeting is for the graduate students to give you feedback on your design resulting from the heuristic evaluation. All members of your team should have read the heuristic evaluation before meeting with the graduate student. You should also have accessible during the meeting your paper prototype used for the cognitive walkthrough.

At least one member of your team should record notes during the meeting. The meeting notes should be posted on your team website immediately after the meeting.

Feedback from HU4628 Heuristic Evaluation

The entire team should meet to discuss the results of the HU4628 heuristic evaluation. The purpose of the meeting is for the HU4628 students to give feedback on your design resulting from the heuristic evaluation. All members of your team should have read the heuristic evaluation before the meeting.

At least one member of your team should record notes during the meeting. The meeting notes should be posted on your team website immediately after the meeting.

Feedback from Instructors

The week after your Cognitive Walkthrough, you will meet with your instructors. See Project Assignment 4 – Design Review assignment description for details about the meeting.

At least one member of your team should record notes during the meeting. The meeting notes should be posted on your team website immediately after the meeting.

Design Change Documents

You should decide if the design changes proposed by your client (scientist), user experience experts (graduate students), the HU4628 heuristic evaluations and instructors are appropriate. In addition you can derive your own additional design changes. The design changes you plan to implement should be organized and listed in a Design Change Document. For each design change you should give a reason or rationale for the design change, so you will know why you made the change. Like all documents that your team generates, the Design Change Document should be dated just below the title. Your team will generate several design change documents during the semester so they should be dated and numbered in the title of the document. Post them in order on your team website.

Post the Design Change Documents on your website as soon as they are generated.

Email Me

After you have posted your Design Change Documents email me (pastel at mtu.edu) and Karla Kitalong (kitalong at mtu.edu) that the Design Change Document is posted. The subject line of the email should be
