User Experience Class Blog
As the semester comes to a close and I’ve completed my user experience research regarding the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives, it’s time to start planning out the process of delivering on the results that I’ve gathered. It’s worth noting though, that as this project developed I realized that me and the other DALN personnel […]
Moving Forward from Last Week Last week I wrote about the struggle of putting together a survey and receiving limited response while I was at CCCC. This resulted in a bit of stress as we moved toward the final weeks of the semester, and I most notably realized that having an alternative plan in place […]
CCCC: Context for following sections This past week I’ve been attending CCCC which has impeded my ability to progress on this project a bit, and advance it in other ways. The biggest hurdle that CCCC presented was that I ended up delaying sending out my survey because I knew there would be people at the […]
Purpose and Goals of This Week This week, I wanted to develop a survey to send out to potential participants. While I’m waiting to hear back from some of the people I reached out to, I should be able to get a decent idea of how different stakeholders would engage with the project even if […]
Planning for the Week This week has been entirely dedicated to the final preparations that I felt that I would need to go through to be successful in the upcoming weeks.

Overview of the Book User Experience as Innovative Academic Practice is an edited collection that seeks to demonstrate the value that user experience principles and research methods have in designing course curricula and degree program parameters. To facilitate that approach, Kate Crane and Kelli Cargile Cook enlisted support from instructor-researchers at universities around the US […]
Introduction For the interview process this week, I sought out another graduate student at GSU to try to understand one potential persona for my user experience research on the DALN later in the semester. For this purpose, I interviewed Fikko, a 3rd year Ph.D. student in rhetoric and composition who’s research is somewhat relevant to […]
Background on Future Case Study The case study that I’ve been working out over the past few weeks has been centered around understanding varying user experiences in the video game World of Warcraft. Similar to how the CDC used the game to better understand human behavior during a pandemic (see corrupted blood incident), this case […]
Why Surveys and Questionnaires? As UX researchers and designers, there’s a number of reasons why we might employ surveys and questionnaires (I will default to surveys throughout this post, but know that in many cases this discussion of surveys is interchangeable with questionnaires aside from the implications of calling it one or the other) to […]
