Five Colleges of Ohio Libraries: Usability Test for the Information Literacy Tutorial

USABILITY TEST FOR THE INFORMATION LITERACY TUTORIAL

The Five Colleges of Ohio Information Literacy Committee members, along with additional colleagues from all five colleges, have been working together to design a Web-based Information Literacy Tutorial. Part of the process is to do some usability testing both Summer and Fall 2000. The summer testing is to help us with some design issues before we pilot test the tutorial during the Fall. The fall testing is to help us determine whether or not some redesigning of the Web site is necessary after our Fall pilot of the tutorial. Those who help with the Summer 2000 testing under the guidance of a test administrator will be paid for their efforts. We would, however, appreciate greatly any amount of feedback we can get on the tutorial, so if you choose to take the tutorial on your own, please print out the form, answer the questions that are asked, and send it to the contact on your individual campus.
