DESCRIPTION
Tight budget and short on time? This CodeMash 2.0.1.1. session taught attendees how to get a quick start on user research. Three discount user research methods were covered: observations; interviews; and card sorting. These quick and inexpensive methods will provide you with rich information about users including their goals, needs and abilities. This session also introduced ways to effectively share and communicate this information such as through personas and mental models.TRANSCRIPT

Interview Experts• Who are the users?• How many are there?• Common complaints?• Show stoppers?
• Understand:- Assumptions and stereotypes - Differences between users
![Page 16: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Focus On…• Tasks

![Page 42: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Card Sorting• Maximize probability of users finding content• Explore how people are likely to group items• Identify content likely to be:
- Difficult to categorize - Difficult to find- Misunderstood

43
Benefits of Card Sorting• Easy and inexpensive• Use to determine:
- Order of information- Relationships between info- Labels for navigation- Verify correct audience

• One title/subject on each card• Short for quick reading• Detailed enough to understand• Supplement - short description on back• Use printed stickers (handwriting)

46
Participants• Representative of users• Minimum of 6 • More participants = more data to analyze
• Allow one hour for 50 items• 30 – 100 cards
![Page 47: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Facilitation/Direction• Shuffle cards• Ask to:
- Group items in own way- Talk out loud
• Think about:- What expect to be together- When expect to see
47
![Page 48: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Issues• Card doesn’t fit: make separate group• Not relevant: tell me• More than one place: tell me and put in best fit
• Items not understood- Correct audience?
• Items without consensus - Re-name item?- Include in more than one category?
48
![Page 49: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Grouping Cards• Ask to
- Describe groups and name them- Describe overall rationale for grouping cards- Show best example from groups- What was difficult? What was easy?- Happy with final outcome?
49
![Page 50: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Analysis• Codes on cards = faster data analysis• Standardize group names • Look for patterns
• Excel Spreadsheet (Donna Spencer)• Online tools - limited analysis
![Page 51: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Online Tools• Moderated• Un-moderated

Patterns
52
![Page 53: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Looking for Patterns• Identify repetition
- Groupings or clusters of users- Overlapping characteristics
• Relevant to design problem
• After pattern is found, continuation of study: - Adds cost - Delays reporting- Low probability of many new findings
![Page 54: User Research 101: DIY Quick Course - CodeMash 2.0.1.1](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c7746d4a7959b6248b467d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
