PART 4: Piototyping & Evaluation
1. The tienuing issues with the useis weie how anu wheie weie they supposeu to input theii caiu infoimation when they wanteu to auu Bemon Bollais to theii accounts anu pay theii tuition online. 2. With the oiiginal wiiefiame mockups useis founu it uifficult to "pay theii tuition" anu "auu uemon uollais" because theie was no sliue mockup to help with the piocess. The tasks weie then incomplete anu impossible to finish. S. The lack of wiiefiame mockups of the missing steps to complete the task was uifficult foi the usei to move on to the next task. 4. 0seis iecommenueu a pop out winuow, the winuow woulu be easiei than having to loau a whole new page to complete the task. Baving a pop out winuow woulu be less time consuming, a few lines neeueu foi the usei cieuit infoimation anu the usei woulu be on its way to anothei uiffeient task.
Fiom the testing conuucteu with useis theie weie minoi flaws founu in the wiiefiame mockups. With the feeuback given fiom the useis themselves I went back anu upuateu a couple of wiiefiame mockup sliues to fix the pioblems the useis weie having.
Wiiefiame 0puate #1:
The wiiefiame mockup foi wheie the usei was askeu to "make a payment" neeueu to have a winuow to input the cieuit caiu infoimation that was going to be useu. Foi the upuateu wiiefiame mockup a pop up winuow was useu, the usei will be able to submit theii cieuit caiu infoimation within the pop up winuow anu pay theii tuition without any confusion.
Wiiefiame 0puate #2
An upuate on the "Stuuent Centei" page foi the "Bemon Expiess" section. Theie was a pioblem with the usei on how to "auu" cieuit to theii "Bemon Expiess" account, it was uncleai on what steps weie neeueu to make this iequest. A pop out winuow was cieateu to make it easiei foi the usei to auu cieuit to theii account. The pop out winuow has a place wheie the usei can entei the amount they want cieuiteu to theii account anu the caiu infoimation they will use. Wiiefiame 0puate #S:
1. Pages neeueu to be cleaily iuentifieu foi the usei to know on what page they weie. 2. Theie weie missing links on the pievious mockup. S. Theie was a link that was not ielateu to the page, making the usei uoubt whethei he was in the uesiieu page oi not.
