phaseII
In this phase, we focused on refining the interaction design of our application and developing wire frames to reflect user workflows. The primary goal of Phase II was to improve the usability and clarity of the user interface based on what our team learned from previous research. The team focused on improving certain parts of the app that caused users the most trouble. We also focused on improving design features.
To achieve this, our team conducted cognitive walkthroughs using defined user scenarios and personas to evaluate how new users would interact with the application step-by-step. In addition, we gathered undergraduate software engineering students during a demonstration of the application, and posed them certain questions. This feedback provided insight into real user design problems and what the user might expect.
Based on these findings, we refined the flow and created updated wireframes to represent new layouts that would conform to user expectations. These wireframes show how users move between key pages such as login, home, and question screens. They serve as a foundation for future UI development and usability improvements.
!!! Describe research methods you used to discover new insights, which explains the purpose of each. Provide enough detail that someone would be able to faithfully reproduce your research. Only include research methods in here, not design documents/techniques/artifacts !!!
!!! For each research method, detail each of the findings to clarify new discoveries of users' needs !!!
The findings from our evaluation highlight key usability problems and places for improving the user experience. Users benefit from clear navigation and immediate feedback when interacting with the system. Difficulties observed during navigating the program suggest a need for better designed workflows and highlighting certain visual elements.
Based on this we recommend simplifying the navigation structure and providing clearer feedback during user actions such as login and submission. Also we should enhance consistency and reduce unnecessary steps. The recommendations should guide future design to better support user needs and improve their experience.
!!! Considerations and/or limitations to the methods you chose and the findings/conclusions drawn from them. In other words, give warnings if there are limitations to your research such as not being able to find enough users of a particular demographic, the methods not being able to expose certain information, assumptions you made, etc. !!!
