Our primary stakeholders for this project were Geology professors Dan Maxbauer and Chloé Fandel. Over the course of two terms, we tried to communicate with them as much as possible about their needs and expectations, but busy schedules often prevented this!
We met with each of them in person to test our wireframe prototype before developing our website. However, we never got another chance to do another round of user testing with our finished product. Similarly, we never got the chance to test our website with a current intro geology student, which ended up being our main use case. Each of us conducted informal user testing with our friends, roommates, etc., but this is nowhere near as extensive as proper user testing should be. Future iterations of this project should incorporate a few rounds of official user testing to ensure the product is as accessible as possible.
