Michael Bracewell, Board of Regents Usability Testing: The Missing Link to Your Users Krannert 3 Track: W eb Development Level: Begi nner When you field the same calls to technical support, you may want to blame your users for not seeing " the obvious ." The same is true for your students when they repeatedly send the same_request to help them find something in your online course that's " right in front of their noses." These are but two examples of the all -too-common problem of learning what doesn 't work for your users when it's too late to fi x it. If only you'd done a little usability testing when the product (courseware, website, intranet, software) was in development. Then you would have learned from your users about their experiences and whether your product makes sense to them and-even more important-satisfies them . This session defines usability testing, explains how to do it, and places it within a user-centered design process . The goal of the session is to give attendees the information and the incentive to get started anywhere in the design process so that users become a critical part of that process .
