- 12. Challenges Finding participants, who can give time. Eg. It is harder to recruit faculty than grad students than undergrads Hard to get the attention of transient users, who visit your site briefly< Hard to work with participants who may not be tech savvy Real-time recruitment of users (while they use technology) and having an interaction at the same time can be challenging
- 13. Ideas to enable studies Grab a user's attention to recruit them Recruit people who use that or similar technology as part of their job Have a help/FAQ page for users to refer to Have Live meeting/Skype link on the side (not as a pop-up) Make connecting with them personal - use your blog, twitter, linkedIn Ask users what features to build
- 14. Remote usability/user studies tool recommendations Morae – capture user data remotely Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting: screen share/capture Skype: screen sharing QuickTime: screen capture QuickTime: Audio capture as a separate file Camtasia facial/screen capture meet.webex.com share screen, video camera WebEx save files to computer or server Phone to PC audio adapter Google Docs - share documentation, scripts, and other information Mechanical Turk - do repeatable, simple, tasks Twitter - connect with participants TeamViewer - remote screen sharing and presentation tool

- Our study spanned over three weeks.At the beginning of the study, for each participant, we provided an overview of study, got their consent, setup SuperIDR on their personal computers <CLICK> and trained them to use it, including having them complete a set of training tasks.Then, we conducted a pre-study interview, asking participants about their fish ID practices and their fish ID background and experience.
