- Collecting and Applying Usability Data from Distance Learners Mitchell, Emily West, Brandon Usability Distance Education Online Courses Task Analysis Academic Libraries Web Sites Masters Degrees Graduate Students Education Majors Information Literacy Use Studies Librarians Online Searching Search Strategies Student Surveys Growth of their college's off-campus and online course offerings led librarians at SUNY Oswego to run usability tests with off-campus students to compensate for a lack of responses from this population during earlier usability testing. Constraints on testing with off-campus students included lack of funding and librarian time, as well as difficulty in attracting student participation. A brief usability study that could be completed by students in the first 10 minutes of class was devised, consisting of a first click test, a survey question, and a top task analysis activity. The study was conducted with 22 students from a satellite-campus Master's in Education program. Discussion includes selecting appropriate tests, analysis of study results, and application of data for improving Website design and information literacy instruction in an academic library.
