[IAEP] *Sugar Onboard: After user testing*

2016-04-24 Thread Tony Anderson

Hi, Sam

Your experience matches mine with 'homeview' (see 
http://www.projectbernie.org - class page). I attempted to guide 
learners in the use of
several activities with a slide show featuring a screen shot on each 
slide. One example is Paint. I quickly found that the slides needed a 
'hook', a way to grab attention to keep the learner moving to the next 
slide (slides move with right/left arrow). I started with a screen shot 
of the first screen - a blank screen with no image!


On Youtube, there are many videos showing a user working through a 
scenario with an application. I find them difficult because the user 
moves too fast to follow.


Your suggestion of a walk-through on the XO with the user moving and 
clicking based on 'hints' on the screen seems very workable. However, I 
could see some learners becoming impatient and wanting to explore on 
their own.


So far, the only thing that has worked is a workshop where I personally 
walk the teachers through the steps to perform a specific task (e.g. 
connect to the schoolserver). This usually involves walking through the 
group with an XO saying 'your screen should look like this'.

The Conservancy position sort of makes sense, but I understood that a
"Local Lab" is just what Sugar Labs calls a user community, the same thing
that OLPC called a "deployment" (which I think is a poor marketing term,
since it has US-imperial/military overtones.)

Right; the https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Local_Labs page has a directory
like that.

Hi, Dave

I hope you can continue your quest for information on how XOs are
used in deployments.

(edited)

The strategic need is to establish direct communication with folks
at these deployments to get first-hand information. This direct
communication can put the community in direct contact with the
user community and help us provide more relevant capabilities.

I think this is going to be a deployment-by-deployment process.

I received this in a communication from Anish Mangal:

If the issue is about XO's then perhaps contacting Prof. Nagarjuna
and Rafikh from TIFR, Bombay might yield something, as they have a
deployment in the city and another near it.

And this you may remember from Walter:

I know nothing about G1G1 Round Two but the laptops from the first
round went to many more places than just Mongolia. For example, it
was from that program that the first batch of laptops went to
Caacupé in Paraguay, a program that continues to be robust today.

Caryl Bigenho has supported a deployment at a shelter in Los
Angeles where the residents are not allowed access to the
internet. I haven't heard much on this recently.

The webpage is a good start
(https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Local_Labs/Contacts). However, it
is connected to the local labs program. You may want to find out
from Walter about its current status. The idea died aborning
because under our agreement with the Conservancy, Sugar Labs was
not permitted to establish subsidiary groups. So I think the wiki
effort should be independent of that initiative.

We also need a format where we can gather significant information
- perhaps a link from this page to a page per deployment. The key
in each case is to have a local contact (e.g. email address) where
we can get direct answers to questions as they come up and propose
capabilities which may be of help. The questions we need answered
go far beyond whether XOs are used inside a classroom or
elsewhere. For example, if users are allowed to take laptops away
from the institution, what has been the impact on wear and tare.
If users 'own' the laptop; how does the institution replace them
for incoming students.
How has the Uruguay Plan Ceibal impacted learning in later grades
- e.g. in readiness to use computers effectively in secondary
school learning. The list could go on.

AWESOME! :D Here's the full text, I think everyone should read it :D

*Sugar Onboard: After user testing*

By Sam P., 25 April 2016

Software is only as good as it is discoverable. When you put Sugar in front
of a new user, some will take to it and others will not. However, some of
the parts of Sugar are not discoverable, for example, invoking the frame.

[A selection of the screenshots displayed]

To try to fix this, I designed and coded up Sugar Onboard
https://www.sam.today/blog/sugar-onboard-design.html

It was implemented in the "onboard" branches of my sugar,
sugar-toolkit-gtk3 and sugar-artwork git repos.

I then sat down with people and watched as they used it. I tasked by test
subjects to open and move between 2 activities running at the same time -
something which happens via the frame. I also observed the way that they
interacted with the software. I worked with 5 testers (
http://opensource-usability.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/how-many-testers-do-you-need.html)
all of whom where school age (Aust years 7-10) and how were very familiar
with traditional computers.

It didn't help.

Not only did my thing not help people find the frame (or anything else),
the added popups actually annoyed them. They didn't want to read the text
and they didn't find it helpful. Even with pictures, some instructions
where confusing for them. Really, it wasted their time.

So what would I do in the future? I would force them to read and interact
with the frame. My design was too big, it added to much. Too much of the
content was irrelevant, so people very quickly learnt to ignore it. I
needed to choose 1 thing, and be forceful and evil to teach them it. That
should have been forcefully teaching them to activate the frame, and
activate palettes.

I also had some big takeaways about the palette system. The tooltip part of
the palette system is great. Users find it very intuitive how fast the
tooltips activate. They also seem to intrinsically know that there should
be more there; they move their mouse over tooltips waiting for the
secondary popdown. However this is the issue that they had with the
palettes, the secondary popdown is too slow. In the time between the
primary and secondary popdown, the users had mostly become confused and
moved away. Maybe we could unify these popdowns and just always show the
full palette?

Usability testing was the most fun thing to do. I need to make more friends
so that I can do more of it. I learnt so much. You should give it a go too!

> the secondary popdown is too slow ... Maybe we could unify these popdowns
and just always show the full palette?


I agree 100% with this. As I understand it, making such a change has a 3
step process: writing a "design doc" to propose such a change, then
consensus that the design is an improvement (although who must make up the
consensus, I'm not sure), and then a pull request.

Is that right?

For me the Pain Points and Important Features sections were very 
interesting! Thanks for putting this together!! :D


You proposed 3 Major Takeaways:

Users do not understand the design patterns in Sugar. This was 
signalled through two methods. Firstly, users prioritised a tour or 
explanation as an important feature. Secondly, users expressed 
confusion with the interface and frame.


I agree, a tour would be a great activity. When I purchased a new 
XO-1 in 2007 and a new XO-4 this year, it came with a little printed 
leaflet with some basics; and I think there is an assumption that the 
UI is discoverable by kids if they have unrestricted free time to 
play and explore it. However I haven't seen any UX-study-style 
testing of this assumption.


You might be interested in this blog post that I wrote on the subject:  
https://www.sam.today/blog/sugar-onboard-user-testing.html


https://turtle.sugarlabs.org has a welcome tour. Can something like 
that be done with PyGTK3?


Developer and deployers have differing opinions compared to students 
and teachers; eg. reducing Journal clutter is significantly more 
popular with developers and deployers than with students and 
educators.


That's interesting! I wonder if students/educators work around 
journal clutter, or if they don't consider it to be cluttered at all. 
Which deployments can we ask about this?


The most important features to the Sugar community are Browse 
activity, the Journal and Turtle Blocks. These are closely followed 
by Write activity, Collaboration, the Terminal and the Sugar style 
design.


I see that none of these are in the top 20 on 
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/browse/type:1/cat:all?sort=popular


I can see how Browse is the most important activity for people who 
can be online to take the survey... for deployments without effective 
internet access, I wonder if that is still the case.

Huge thanks Tony Forster highlighting those 2 critical data points,
surrounding initial Peru/Uruguay uses in the years after XO acquisition.

There are more than a few flies in the "One Laptop Per Child" ointment both
those well-known, and more we're learning from every day.  I know of more
than a few schools (which do not want to be named, in the name of
self-preservation) where, to oversimplify the numbers: 100 XO laptops
arrived, of which 90 were used for 100 hours each, and the remaining 10
laptops were used for 1000 hours each -- roughly speaking a common outline
is:

   - 9,000 hours of XO/Sugar use, by 100s of students broadly, back in the
   day
   - 10,000 hours of XO/Sugar use, by a few elite IT/Sugar/community gurus,
   ongoing today, the best of which are giving back to their communities in
   powerful ways

These are arbitrary numbers to illustrate the larger common pattern, and
not to embarrass specific schools which do not want to be named.  The lack
of structured project ideas / professional development of teachers /
culturally relevant content/pedagogy needs to be addressed at some other
time, among other fundamental reasons that many XO/Sugar dreams gathered
dust.

But back to the original question, if (as Tony Forster and I suspect)
most-if-not-much-all Sugar use is happening outside of class time in 2016
-- starting many years back now: how can we now get a better grip on these
very real, evolving, important extracurricular -> personal patterns?
Moving beyond glory days anecdotalism?  Where do we have a moral
responsibility to move beyond our Negroponte founders' days "don't measure
it, just do it" idealism?  Where have we unintentionally expanded
male/female rich/poor digital divides, as several OLPC communities
privately ask me to keep quiet about?  When Silicon Valley companies now
publish gender/race stats routinely, to expose accidental/unconscious
injustices, how do we too learn to look in our own mirror?

Half a decade later, we can collect as many anecdotes as we want, let's
jeep at it keeping our blogs fired up before the clock runs out.  But
before the clock runs out, we require professional sociologists too, if we
are halfway serious about our Environmental Impact at all, and moving
beyond statistics that can easily made to lie for any fundraiser.  Many
people ask me very pointedly -- are we across the OLPC/Sugar legacy a

Christoph Derndorfer, Tony Anderson and Morgan Ames etc who chose to put
their life in the village, stepping outside of the Jeep, to spend Many
Weeks Each in a broad diversity of communities -- Rwanda, Uruguay, Peru for

Who today will follow in their footsteps spending weeks and months in
community, in listening mode, challenging their own assumptions, bridging
the various self-serving post/neo-colonial narratives?  How do we help our
new generation find heartfelt diaspora families, willing to struggle for

Hi José!

I hope you could join this discussion thread :) I'm curious about your
perspective from Uruguay on the following questions :)

Are most Sugar users are using XO laptops?

Is most Sugar use is in a school/classroom setting, or by the child in
their free time at home?

Also, I read in https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Jmgarcia that you wrote

> For Sugar you should not be limited to a computer model

I'm curious if you know of any user communities that are using Sugar on
non-XO computers, and if so, what models they were/are using? :)

Does anyone disagree with the assertion that "most Sugar use is in a
school/classroom setting"?


Hi

The two largest OLPC deployments, Peru and Uruguay account for 50% of  
XO laptops.


Peru, 60% of use was in school [1]
Uruguay home use > school use [2]

Uruguay was 100% take home, Peru had a mixed take home policy.

It is not clear what happened in the remaining 50% of deployments.

These statistics are 4-6 years old. It is not clear how the usage  
changes as XO's have got older. They are presumably perceived to be  
less valuable. This could relax take home policies, it probably tends  
to lower school and home use.


So I disagree with the assertion that "most Sugar use is in a  
school/classroom setting". I think its too close to call. Home and  
school use are roughly equal.
