Product 3 – Find out how to do user testing!

January 26, 2010 – 4:21 pm
Another outcome of this exciting project is a brief example video which shows you a real user testing session so you get an idea of what user testing is like.



We also run a workshop on Friday 5th of March 2010 which gives you concrete tips on how to get started on doing a user testing session yourself, and a chance to ask questions and explore your ideas with others who’ve done it before!

After the workshop, you’ll be invited to see the sights of Cambridge!



This workshop will take place at CARET (16 Mill Lane, CB2 1SB Cambridge). It will probably be a full day (morning and afternoon), but further details will follow later.



Apply for attending this workshop by emailing Laura (laura @ caret.cam.ac.uk) or Anne-Sophie (asd38 @ caret.cam.ac.uk), and definitely have a look at the video!

Semantic Tool for Route planning:

January 21, 2010 – 5:30 pm

The reason is that XML was designed to carry data, not to display data, XML tags are not predefined, and XML is designed to be self-descriptive. Musket Semantic Tool needs to understand the schema and semantics of the XCRI XML files, it will be able to return informative responses and support the route planning. Within this research field, ontology (a) plays a key role for realizing the tool, (b) which provides a common; shared understanding of knowledge in this domain; (c) capture and formalize knowledge by connecting human understanding of symbols with their machine process ability, (d) and through the introduction of ontological reasoning, the approach are suitable for flexibly discovering abilities in using information, that were not specifically designed or intended for the particular use case.
