  1. HCI Masters Project Course PSLC Project Phase 2 Report

  2. What the project is about

  3. Work Updates

  4. Data Collection • We collected more data • CTAT Winter Workshop • More Contextual Inquiries • 4 focus areas • high-level analysis tools (curves) • low-level drilling bits (logfiles visualizations, Knight graphs) • Exporting function • Multi-user issues • finding datasets of interest • access and permissions • social networking

  5. Scenarios • PSLC Primary Investigators (2) • PSLC Research Programmer • Student of PSLC PI • PSLC Member • Non-member Researcher/Grad student

  6. Initial Prototyping • Focused on one of the scenarios (Primary Investigator) • Did sketches of ideas • Consolidated ideas and made initial wire-frames

  7. Lessons Learnt • Need to have correct focus • CIs may not tell you what the client wants. • Informed data means more later on. Need context to understand early stuff • Need to talk to all stakeholders. • Conclusion: There are standard (curves) reports and we don't know how they work.

  8. What’s Next

  9. What’s Next: Refocus • Invited client to affinity diagramming • Organized design ideas • Built shared understanding • Got valuable feedback on idea groups, BUT • Missing details on LearnLab analysis tools • Needed to focus more on designing analysis tools

  10. What’s Next New Development Plan • Identify highest priorities • Interview client stakeholders • Serialize research and prototyping • Split up the group into subteams

  11. Four foci High-level analysis tools Low-level tools analysis Exporting function Multi-user issues Development Plan Why change course? Need more data for about 8 analysis tools Integrate and adapt 2 borrowed designs Should be easy to design quickly

  12. Development Plan Serialize research and prototyping What is this? Pick highest priority analysis tool or feature. Do an entire design/test/build cycle on it. Move on to next tool.

  13. Development Plan Interviews with client stakeholders • CI data didn’t address focus • Didn’t see needs for client solution • Client solution not obviously applicable • Lacked understanding of client solution • Analysis tools needed for collaboration • Need to understand analysis techniques. • Talking client stakeholders is fast

  14. Development Plan Serialize research and prototyping • Prototype hard stuff early. • Concrete stuff required for June seminar • Client will be coding features • Work more closely with client • Build better partnership

  15. Development Plan Splitting up into sub-teams • Spread resources • How it will work: • Pick a set of features or tools • Assign one team to do R&D • User testing by other team • Rework and hand off final design to client • Pick next feature set to work on • Still workingthis out

  16. Development Plan Next actions • Think-Aloud on existing prototype of an analysis tool • CI to gather data for an upcoming tool • More research on LearnLab analysis tools

  17. Potholes We Ran Into (and How We Got Around them)

  18. Problems • Methods approach exhausted • Solution: breakaway from data if it makes sense • Getting requirements when clients are only current users of a feature • Solution: Use client stakeholders for CI’s • Additional CI's adding marginal value • Solution: Prototype and test

  19. Feedback • New development plan • Soliciting requirements without hypothetical questions? • Anything else you have comments on
