Creativitea: Clickable Prototype and Usability Script

Intro to prototype:

 

This is a Figma prototype for our app Creativitea. Creativitea helps people get into the habit of incorporating creative practices into their daily lives by forming groups of friends on the platform and responding to short prompts. This clickable prototype allows users to walk through the following task flows:

 

Task flows: 

  • Create a new account and then log into your account. 
  • Check out your “Drawing Buddies” group and respond to the prompt.
  • Check out your gallery.
  • From the notifications page, try commenting on someone’s work.
  • From the notifications page, try viewing feedback on your work.

Test Script: 

 

Intro:

 

Hi, _______. My name is _______, and I’m going to be walking you through this session today.

 

Before we start, I want to share some information with you. Feel free to stop me and ask any questions as they come up.

 

We’re asking people to try using a mobile app that we’ve been working on. We want to see if the app works as we intended. This should take roughly 20 minutes. Please note that this is not a test of your intelligence or how accurate you are. We are evaluating the app, not you. As you are using the app, I am going to ask that you verbalize your impressions of the app as you are interacting with it. For example, if something is confusing, please say it out loud! If you have an idea of how you think something should work, please verbalize that as well. We encourage you to ask questions as they come up, but for the sake  of the effectiveness of this test, we may not be able to answer some of your questions immediately. We recognize that this might be a little uncomfortable and may gently nudge you from time to time to verbalize your thoughts.

 

Lastly, please do not spare our feelings. We care that you are as honest as possible. Any critique will be helpful for us.

 

With your consent, we are going to record our conversation and the interaction you have with the app. Having this will help us go back and evaluate the efficacy of our app.

 

Home Page Tour:

 

Here is our home page. Feel free to play around with and give any impressions you have of it. This is very free form so feel free to interact with it in whatever way feels natural to you. Please remember to verbalize your thoughts/impressions as they come up!

 

Now we are going to ask you to perform a few different tasks:

 

Task flows: 

  • Create a new account and then log into your account. 
  • Check out your “Drawing Buddies” group and respond to the prompt.
  • Check out your gallery.
  • Join a new group
  • Check out what Juliette has drawn recently.
  • From the notifications page, try commenting on someone’s work.
  • From the notifications page, try viewing feedback on your work.
  • Check out the profile of one user who is following you.

 

Closing Questions:

  • How’d that go?
  • What do you think about this app?
  • Anything especially confusing or that you didn’t like?
  • Anything that you liked?
  • How do you think it compared to what you do currently?

 

Closing:

 

Thanks so much for your time! Before we finish up, what questions do you have? What feedback do you have for us?
