First, you will take the perspective of a study owner, creating a tree testing study.
Start your screen recording.
FullHD and with larger font size.
Remember to talk out loud as you work, describing what you see, think, and do.
Log in to Diamond using your account:
https://diamond-zs3x.onrender.com
Create a new tree testing study with the given sample university
information hierarchy
tugraz-at-en.csv.
Create three tasks of the form: "Where would you expect to find X?"
Finish creating the study and launch it. Make a note of the study URL.
Log out of Diamond and close down the browser.
Stop your screen recording. Remux the recording to MP4 and name
it NN-treetest-creating.mp4, where NN is your (main)
surname in lower case. For example andrews-treetest-creating.mp4.
Trim any junk from the start and end of the recording. If the video is too large (hundreds of MB or more), transcode it down to a reasonable size.
Copy the plain text log file template
log.txt to a new
file called NN-treetest-creating-log.txt, where NN is
your (main) surname in lower case. For
example andrews-treetest-creating-log.txt.
Review your screen recording and fill out the log file, documenting your experience and listing 2-3 positives and 5-10 negatives (problems) you found in the tool.
Second, you will take the perspective of a study participant, taking part in a tree testing study.
Make sure you are logged out of Diamond. It is not necessary to have a Diamond account to participate in a study. You only need to know the study URL.
Start your screen recording.
FullHD and with larger font size.
Remember to talk out loud as you work, describing what you see, think, and do.
Go to the TreeTest study at the URL given when you launched it as the study owner.
Stop your screen recording. Remux the recording to MP4 and name
it NN-treetest-performing.mp4, where NN is
your (main) surname in lower case. For
example andrews-treetest-performing.mp4.
Trim any junk from the start and end of the recording. If the video is too large (hundreds of MB or more), transcode it down to a reasonable size.
Copy the plain text log file template
log.txt to a new
file called NN-treetest-performing-log.txt, where NN is
your (main) surname in lower case. For
example andrews-treetest-performing-log.txt.
Review your screen recording and fill out the log file, documenting your experience and listing 2-3 positives and 5-10 negatives (problems) you found in the tool.
Prepare a hand-in folder called iaweb-ws2024-ex1a-NN,
where NN is your (main) surname in lower case. For
example, iaweb-ws2024-ex1a-andrews.
I ask (but cannot require) that you place your work under a CC
licence. To do so, copy, edit (your name inside the file), and include
the
file CC-LICENSE.txt
in your hand-in folder.
Your hand-in folder structure should look something like this (obviously with your name not mine):
iaweb-ws2024-ex1a-andrews/
CC-LICENSE.txt
andrews-treetest-creating-log.txt
andrews-treetest-creating.mp4
andrews-treetest-performing-log.txt
andrews-treetest-performing.mp4
Zip up the folder, so that you have a zip file called
iaweb-ws2024-ex1a-NN.zip,
where NN is your (main) surname in lower case. For
example, iaweb-ws2024-ex1a-andrews.zip.
Hand in your zip file on TeachCenter.
