Seeking volunteers to participate in usability testing activities.

CUAHSI is currently working with the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Purdue University Design, Visualization, & Cognition (DVC) Lab to perform a usability analysis of our website.

We are seeking assistance to recruit volunteers to participate in usability testing activities. Volunteers will be asked to perform a series of easy tasks, like locating information on the website, and to describe their thought process while performing the tasks. These activities will provide insight on how to improve the dissemination of information on our website moving forward.

The entire activity should take no more than 45 minutes and it’s okay if volunteers have limited familiarity with CUAHSI or the website. We aim to schedule the testing now through February 8th.

Those interested can reach out to me directly with questions or to schedule the testing.

We at the Water Resources Club are passionate about engaging in education and projects that improve the quality and abundance of water for all living things. We are interested in many facets of water issues: from the science and engineering of watersheds and water systems, to management and policy of water resources, to the regional cultural and spiritual aspects of water.
