Meeting notes
Files and Uploads has been rolled out to edx.org. @Patrick Kenny will demo it in an upcoming meeting, and @Brad Brown will circulate release notes
The Course Mode MFE project is on pause, but will be revisited after the new Studio MFE work has been completed. It should be easier to add at that stage
EduNext will be leading the design work and prototype for the LTI MVP, and OpenCraft will be responsible for the backend implementation
Projects are only added to the list of UX/UI projects once they have reached the discussion phase of the Product Review process
Finding test users
We are not going to leverage any third-party tools for managing test users just yet, but might look into this in the future once we have built a bigger pool of test users
Asma Ahmed is looking for test users to participate in usability tests on Tutor’s current theme
EduNext will ask the Spanish universities they work with if there are any students that could participate in these usability tests
It might be beneficial to contact providers listed on the Marketplace - Open edX to ask if they could suggest any test users
Using Slack channels to recruit test users
We will likely start with two channels - one for technical users, and one non-technical users (@Jenna Makowski will create these channels)
These channels will be “advertised” across the existing community channels, and those interested in becoming test users will join
Users will complete a short Google Form to sign up as test users. @María de los Ángeles Aguilar and Asma Ahmed will work together to write the announcements, and create the Google Form
This announcement can also be sent via other channels across the community (this is important as the current Open edX Slack community doesn’t include many end users. This may change in the future…)
Users that match the required persona will be selected for each usability test
We may revisit developing a more formal beta-testing program in the future
We will identify the types of test users we require, as well as the types of usability tests we may conduct
Action items
@Brad Brown to circulate release notes for Files and Uploads
@Jenna Makowski to touch base with @Brad Brown to determine how to integrate the Course Mode MFE project with the Studio MFE project (once it is complete)
@Ali Hugo to investigate the options for creating a centralized space in Figma for all community files
@Santiago Suarez to ask the Spanish universities if they have a list of students for Asma’s usability tests
@María de los Ángeles Aguilar and Asma Ahmed to create a Google Form and announcement to recruit test users. A draft should be shared with the UX/UI Working Group before these announcements are made
@Ali Hugo to create a spreadsheet of the types of test users we require, as well as the types of usability tests we may conduct
@Xavier Antoviaque I agree that it’s necessary to announce this elsewhere. I've added it to the agenda for the UX/UI meeting this week to discuss.
@Ali Hugo @Jenna Makowski Could we also make sure to post those announcements and the form outside of Slack, such as on the blog and the forum? Not everyone is on Slack, and even for those who are if you don’t follow the channels closely it’s hard to get proper notifications of important topics there.
