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: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
