Students from Dr. Joseph Robertshaw's Spring 2025 EH301 classes took part in a Library UX project where they used various tools at their disposal - usability studies, persona creation, surveys, observations, interviews, etc - to evaluate our Recording & Presentation Practice Room, a dedicated space equipped for creating and editing presentations, audio projects, video projects, and more.
The committee read over these submissions and chose three teams to be selectees (see below).
The committee would like to thank everyone who participated in this project, and extend a hearty thanks to Dr. Robertshaw for organizing this idea.
There were many good suggestions and found-issues in the eight reports we reviewed. As always, we discuss changes and strategies to implement information from these reports.
We appreciate everyone who helped with these - Dr. Robertshaw, his class, and their very many participants.
We offer special recognition to the three submissions below. Things that library board were looking for include a focus on the "library-ness" of the testing, a diverse [different majors, different stages of an academic career, different backgrounds in regards to library usage] test group to have well-represented viewpoints, the use of proper methods to review the Recording & Presentation Practice Room, and the general quality of the "sales pitch" to present this information.
