Labs/Ubiquity/Usability/Usability Testing/Fall 08 1.2 Tests/Tester 04
Unfortunately the video from this session corrupted during compression.
The tester showed similar behavior to testers #6 & #11 in terms of following the tutorial. She had to be shown how to use Ubiquity. She did NOT care for the video, complaining that it took too much time and sounded technocratic. During her critique of the video she made a face of disgust when talking about command line, how it was very 80's and made it clear that she associated it with IBM and DOS.
She saw no intrinsic value in using Ubiquity.
The email command was of particular interest as her habituation for email.yahoo.com stuck despite being explicitly shown and instructed how to invoke the command correctly. This too, has shown up in other participants as well.
