Concerns, Comments

After bringing Samigo up on my local desktop, I've (JLR) just gone through the process of creating a survey, publishing it, then taking it as a user. Here are some responses to the process:

Big picture from an authoring perspective:

  1. The authoring side is bulky - lots of buttons to click and steps to take, the layout of the screen could be much much cleaner.
  2. It's frustrating to only be able to add one question at a time
  3. The choice of answers is not intuitively presented
  4. Typical programmer-style development: the flexibility/customizability is impressive, but it's just not organized well for the simplest case usage. For example: when I want to "publish" the survey I have to drill down under "Settings", open a hidden layer, then set three dates with no explanation of which date does what... this needs a serious facelift.
  5. As I mentioned to Kirk and Lisa - I think it would make sense to provide a (new tool/interface?) that provides a very straightforward, wiki-style single page editing of the test/quiz/survey - presumably this could be plugged into the Samigo service.

Big picture from a survey-taker's perspective:

  1. I got this screen with lots of technical info before I took the survey. None of it made sense to me if I'm just taking a survey. Think the questions should be the first thing I see after an optional text intro provided by the author.

Nit-picky issues:

  1. I entered 'feedback' for both questions, but never saw anything when I answered them – maybe I missed a setting? I clumped the two together into one page, and maybe the feedback only works for one question on a page, but still... not sure how I should know this if I'm a user.
  2. The formatting left something to be desired in the test taking.
    • I'm not sure why – if it's a survey, I see 0.0 points next to each question, or why the questions aren't set off in boxes or something to make it clear what's happening.
    • There's too much indenting going on – if I have a single 'part' to the survey, then why show that?
    • In the default skin at least, there's just too much white on the screen.
  • No labels
