*Posted on behalf of the U-M School of Information's Engaged Learning
Office:I’m excited to share with you an opportunity for University of
Michigan School of Information (UMSI) students to help make your internal
system or dynamic website more user-friendly by doing user testing and
employing other methods to provide recommendations for improvement.If this
is of interest, I invite you to submit a project idea

as soon as possible, and ideally by November 11th, for students to work on
this winter term (January through April 2023). Please note that there is no
cost to host a project.--------------Overview:Students in the course SI

will evaluate how well the user experience of your product or system meets
the needs of its users by using specific methods to identify areas where
the product or system succeeds, and where improvements can be made to help
users achieve their goals.Client benefits: - Clients receive a series of
reports, recommendations, and analyses- Methods clients will benefit from
include: heuristic evaluation, usability testing, competitive analysis,
surveying, and an interview-based study - A previous client in this course
shared the following:- “The student team presented an overview of what
seemed to be working and what could be improved on within the website, with
achievable follow-up steps. We learned that our resources can sometimes be
hidden or not easily navigable, and have begun to work on some of the
students’ proposed solutions. The findings that came out of the project
will help the office create a more navigable site.”Clients should be
prepared to: - Meet weekly with students- Give feedback on the reports
shared throughout the semester- Connect students with users for user
interviews (6-7 people), a survey (50 people), and user testing (6-7
people). Please note that these numbers may change - Provide a contact
within your organization who understands UX and can work with the students
directly (helpful but not mandatory)- Get the students access to whatever
data, systems, or resources are necessary to complete the project. Please
note that, while there is no cost to host a project, any access or other
fees are the responsibility of the clientUpon completing the project idea
form, a team member will follow up within a week to invite you to tell us
more about the idea or request a full proposal. Once a full proposal is
submitted, we will work with you to scope the project for a specific course
until it is handed over to a student team. Please note that while we do our
best to match all projects to a team, some won’t be selected. You can find
other ways to engage with our students, such as visiting as a speaker or
providing mentorship, at our website here
