For this week’s assignment, I chose to focus on the process required to access an uploaded document on COM 529′s course blog on the Media Space. I find it particularly annoying that I currently have to scroll through all of the group pages in order to access COM 529′s course blog. This is quickly becoming more of an issue as more groups are added to the Media Space. Although my task-flow suggestion won’t decrease the number of clicks required to access a document on COM 529′s course blog, it will reduce the time necessary to access a document from a course blog.
USE CASE FOR IMPROVED VERSION:
Step 1.) From Media Space homepage, user clicks on Course Blogs tab. Tech note: the Course Blogs tab will be added to the tabs located on the right side of the Media Space hompage.
Step 2.) User scrolls through list of course blogs.
Step 3.) User clicks on COM 592 Course Blog link.
Step 4.) User arrives at course blog.
Step 5.) User reviews uploaded course readings that are organized by week assigned.
STep 6.) User clicks on appropriate reading assignment.
