Your role:
The faciliatator has a number of tasks for you to complete that
involve finding information on the University of Manchester web
site. The aim is to test how easy the web site is to use, NOT to
test your skill in getting around web sites. Please feel comfortable
to take your time when you make your choices, and to think aloud
and communicate with the other team members.
Guidelines:
Try to think aloud whilst you're looking at each page and deciding
what to click on. The observer needs to be able to keep a record
of how you respond to the pages, what you think about when looking
at the page, and how you decide where to go next.
Please don't hurry, this is not a test of your skill, and the other
team members will need time to make notes.
Getting started:
- Log in to the computer using your usual (Novell) username
(if you have any trouble, try putting a full stop in front of
your username - don't know why, but it works sometimes)
- In the Novell Applications Window, find and open the Accessing
the Internet folder, and open a web browser (Netscape or Internet
Explorer, whichever you prefer)
- Go to the University of Manchester's home page (http://www.man.ac.uk/)
- Wait for your facilitator to give you the first task.
Remember - it's the web site that's being tested, not you!
