The internet provides an abundance of career-related tools and resources, yet lacks streamlined access, campus-specific essentials, and cultural components. The purpose of this usability study was to evaluate a website of self-assessment tools and career-related resources for UHMC faculty and staff who actively assists students in career exploration, planning, and decision-making. Principles of instructional design and multimedia learning were incorporated during the website design and implementation process.
Following rounds one and two of usability testing, revisions were made to the prototype based on participant feedback. Adjustments contributed to decreased response times for seven of the nine total tasks completed during round three. Overall responses indicate positive results of the website design layout, navigation, ease of use, and effectiveness including the application of the website as a go-to resource tool. This session will discuss design, development and modification of the website, participant data, results of the usability study, and lessons learned.
