[Air-l] usability testing expertise needed

[Bunz, Ulla K]

In my dissertation I am examining perceptions of usability from the user
perspective. As recommended by Virzi, Sorce and Herbert (1993), I would like
to add some heuristic evaluation. 

I am writing to request help with this.

If you have researched the topics of usability, human-computer interaction,
and/or human interface design-
If you have experience with conducting usability tests and/or evaluations-
If you have designed many websites and feel you have gained knowledge from
within the process-

If any of these conditions apply to you, you may be able to help me.

Do not worry. I will not ask any of you to conduct a full scale usability
test, as this takes much time, and usually costs much money. What I would
ask from you would be a very informal impression forming evaluation (based
on Brooke 1996, and Ravden & Johnson 1989). It would take only a few minutes
to click through a (small) site, check off a few questions I would provide,
and type a brief paragraph. 

If you are interested or willing to help, please reply briefly to
ulla at ku.edu and I will supply you with more detailed information. I'd also
be happy to talk about this at the conference if you are not sure whether
you want to invest the time in helping me.

I appreciate you sharing your expertise!
