The Usability Cluster was re-initiated at the ESIP Summer Meeting 2016, and during the first year of the Cluster’s reactivation, the Cluster has been working in a number of different areas, including learning about various usability evaluation techniques, discussing usability issues at data repositories, and assessing usability of several data services/tools as use cases. Ultimately, building on the lessons learned from these activities, the Usability Cluster is working on developing and introducing a Usability Test Framework that could be used when designing and applying usability evaluations for Earth Science-centric data repositories/services.

During this session, the Usability Cluster members and anyone else who is interested will have a hands-on opportunity to review the current progress, create content, and recommend feedback/future opportunities for the Usability Test Framework. 

The session agenda is included below:

  • Report Out from the RMap team regarding the team's experience with the Framework (~5 minutes)
    • They won’t have performed any usability tests at this point, but can talk about the process of developing the test using the framework.
  • Introduction of the Usability Test Framework (5 - 10 minutes)
  • Creation of a new test script for the Data Management Training Clearinghouse as a demonstration of the Framework (~45 minutes)
    • Introduction to the Data Management Training Clearinghouse
    • Explanation of goals for performing usability testing using the Data Management Training Clearinghouse
  • Critique of the Current Content and Discussion of the next steps for the Framework (15 minutes)
  • Completion the "Post-Test Reflection" section (can be reserved for the next monthly call as needed)
