Meeting notes

Database of test users
- It would be useful to have a database of users who would be prepared to participate in usability tests from time to time
- Users could be grouped according to their specific knowledge and experience of the platform
- It may be worth investigating how tools like UserVoice, Gainsight, Segment and FullStory use segmented lists to address specific user concerns, as well as how they measure platform usage
- There are certain privacy concerns to consider, such as listing a test user’s email address publicly
Proposal to address certain content creation needs of non-technical authors
- EduNext has created the following proposal:https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OEPM/pages/3887071233/Problem+Authors+don+t+have+enough+options+to+create+the+content+they+would+like
- The proposal addresses the need for non-technical content authors to embed videos from platforms such as Vimeo, use iframes to add custom content, and add links to other sections of a course
- TinyMCE may facilitate the first of these user needs (embedding videos, and using iframes). A TinyMCE plugin already exists in the platform, but it is very old, and has not been updated to the latest version
- The proposal will be put through the Core Product Review process
List of UX/UI projects
- The original list (created in Google Sheets) has been moved to the wiki
- @Ali Hugo will add a column for links to the relevant Github spaces
- The Mobile Working Group is investigating naming options for different versions of design files. This could possibly become the naming convention within the community
- We will introduce a slot at the beginning of each of our meetings where we run through the list of UX/UI projects and ask for updates (if there are any)
The new Studio home design is ready to build!

Action items

Database of test users
- @Jenna Makowskito investigate UserVoice, Gainsight, Segment and FullStory as possible tools to facilitate usability testing
- @Ali Hugo to ask client owners at OpenCraft whether they know of any users who would be willing to be added to the database
Santiago’s proposal:
- @Ali Hugo volunteered to review
- @Jonathan Fay to share prior Figma designs
- @Santiago Suarez to ping product WG for more reviews and to triage in next meeting and include figma files for UX/UI to review
