Media Viewer Research Round 4 (November 2014)

Goals for This Research
We are validating weather or not the iterations we have done address the issues we found in previous media viewer research.

How are we going to get the answers?
We are scheduling 5 readers to participate in usability testing with us. We have created a protocol and coordinated it with code in production. We are recruiting and scheduling participants now for next week (Week of November 17, 2014). We are recruiting from a group of people who provided feedback on media viewer via a feedback link. The people of this group who provided their emails and said it is OK for us to contact them for follow up got invitations to participate.


 * 1) Define the two segments of users to invite to participate:
 * 2) "Readers" = People who mainly read Wikipedia, and chose "I never edit Wikipedia" about their participation in Wikipedia in the survey (the primary users for this study)
 * 3) "Casual Editors" = People who chose "I have edited a few articles" about their participation in Wikipedia in the survey (time permitting we will talk with some casual editors)
 * 4) We have build our protocol and testing environment
 * 5) Next week we will conduct the research.
 * 6) After that, we will do analysis on the data we collected (typed notes and recorded videos of the research sessions)
 * 7) We will synthesize what we learned in the research to understand what it means for media viewer.
 * 8) Report out the findings here on this page.
