User Testing - Developing User Testing Taskt

With the website and assignment set, we now need to come up with the tasks that we want our users to achieve.

Its important that the tasks we ask our users to do are realistic when taking into account the websites task. in order to do this, we need to be looking at the Stakeholders of the website.

while the website has a lot of different visitors, there are prehaps three or four main groups that the website aims at giving information to:

Prospective Students

Parents

Overseas Students.


Prospective students obviously want to know if the course they are investigating is available at the university. they are going to be focused towards finding out relevant course details, and prehaps more detailed information about various course information.

Parents, like students, are also going to be interested in course details. Their other considerations are likley to be secondary study factors, such as financial and accommodation matters.

Overseas Students are going to be considering all the above factors and more, as they have a number of specifics in relation to financial and/or accomodation matters. Whatsmore, there is a chance that English is a second language to these potential students, and so it is even more important that information is displayed clearly as to avoid confusion.


Taking these three key stakeholders into account, its possible to go on and develop questions for potential canditates, and i should have these produced in the next few days.
