Users were asked a series of questions:
- Were you able to successfully navigate through pages?
- Did symbols make sense?
- Was there any aspect that confused you?
- In three words, how would you describe the website?
- What did you think about the spacing of objects on the page?
- Do you think pages followed a logical sequence
The way users interacted with the application was documented. Upon arriving at the Home page with all the suggestions, most readers read the entire list of prompts before selecting the 'Meant to be studying?' prompt... I assume that has nothing to do with their procrastination skills that are frequently used to avoid doing things like write blog posts... And they were then redirected to the song recommendation page. At this time we did not have the song suggestions randomised and all songs redirected to the same page. Nor was the search bar functional at this stage, but somehow the feedback received was largely positive.
Aside from our incomplete features, there only seemed to be one common query among users; they couldn't find the Home Page to return to choose another emotion. It appeared as though the Home button in the header was not visible or clear to them.
From this feedback, we've decided to implement an 'another mood' button that sits at the bottom of the Trove article, beside the 'next song' button. Hopefully with this addition it will be clearer to users how to navigate back to the previous page.
Aside from holding this workshop, I worked on the Progress Demonstration & Report document this week. I want to finish as much of it during this weekend as possible. On top of that, next week we will be making lists of key words associated with each emotion for the search bar. Angus has been working on implementing a working version of the application so hopefully the randomiser will be working soon. Hope it all goes smoothly!
