User Testing
22nd March 2022
This week I created the usability test report with the findings I received. Below are some snapshots of my the responds received for my usability test form.
Usability Test Report
Sustainability test included 10 questions and a total of 20 responses were received Short and brief questions that can be finished with in 5 -10 minutes. Discovered how usable the website is and how it can improve
The responders were between the ages of 9 – 50. Among them the highest responders were below 20. From which 55% were Female and 45% were Male. Among these 20 people, 15 people that is 75% agree practicing sustainability is a priority in their lives. The other 5 people, 25% agree it is not a priority to live a sustainable lifestyle. Meaning that they are not mindful of their plastic usage and avoiding them isn’t a priority in their daily lives.
However, 100% of the responders believed that plastic pollution is an issue that needs to be addressed. The next question I explored was if the interactive story was perceived by the audience to be a tool which could raise awareness about plastic pollution. 75% of them agreed that it can be used, 30% said maybe and no responders disagreed. Therefore, it can be proven that the public approves interactive digital story telling can create change.
Moreover, all responders believed the ‘Blue Earth Vision’ Website has content relevant to raise awareness about Plastic issue. Furthermore, in evaluating what the responders understood from the interactive story it can be concluded that all the users understood that plastic pollution is a real problem and that their actions have consequences. For example, one responder wrote “it is important to take care of the earth as we need to think about the future generations and the damage we are causing to the earth”.
Moving on to how user friendly the story plot. 95% agreed that they did not get confused at any point and did not encounter any missing links. However, 1 responder felt the story was a bit confusing but got the general idea of the story.
Next, they were asked if they had any comments to make It better. 17 people that is 85% responded that it is good. The other 3 responders had comments such as that there could be more story plots with different characters to make it long. Overall 60 % of the people said they were likely to share the website to their family and friends.
Apart from the form, one of the users privately messaged me that the website moved his family so much and his son requested to donate to the UNICEF building school out of waste donation to help these kids. It made the research very successful to have such impact on a very young heart. As I say baby steps. We must create change by creating awareness. The more the younger generation knows, the more they care, and different more conscious generation is brought up that practices sustainable lifestyles.
