Too Busy!

Well it's been a while since any of us have had time to post. We got really busy. The first week seems like cake compared to the second one. Once we got through the book material and moved into the application of what we learned in usability we had a lot of work to do so that we could make our usability test count. In such a short time period for work there is no going back and doing it all over again. Our pilot test seemed like an absolute disaster but we made it through, learned a lot and applied it the next day when we did the test for real. That was gruelling!

Just to give you an idea of what we were up against and how quickly we are moving we ran five test subjects through the lab from 2 - 6 one right after another. We took the evening off and prepared for our presentations. Oh by the way, you have to do an individual presentation while you are here to your peers. On Wednesday we began to crunch the numbers and analyze the data so that we could draw correlations on which we could write our paper that we plan to submit for publication in Computers and Composition. It's a lofty goal but we'll have to see if we can pull it off. Only two more days to do it. I'm sure we will do but we are definately going to be tired when we are done.
