However, how do you know you have a project that is easy to use and navigate? Web usability testing is a way to evaluate digital projects, as well as get feedback to revise your websites. Today, we will look at strategies for designing usability studies and ways to evaluate digital projects, both your own, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the Workshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/usability.yale.edu\/\">Yale University Usability &amp; Web Accessibility<\/a>&nbsp;site is a great resource for developing user-friendly and accessible web sites.&nbsp; For today\u2019s purposes, review the section on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/usability.yale.edu\/usability-best-practices\">Usability Best Practices<\/a>.<\/li><li>Next, explore usability.gov\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usability.gov\/how-to-and-tools\/resources\/ucd-map.html\">Step-by-Step Usability Guide <\/a>paying close attention to the \u201cTest and Refine\u201d section.&nbsp; Review the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usability.gov\/what-and-why\/usability-evaluation.html\">Usability Evaluation Basics<\/a>&nbsp;for a brief description of common types of usability testing methods.<\/li><li>Finally, choose 2-3 myths from the website&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uxmyths.com\/\">UXMyths<\/a>&nbsp;to explore.&nbsp; Consider how you connected with the \u201cmyths\u201d \u2013 either as a designer of a site (did any of these make you re-think a design choice, or confirm what you are already implementing?) or as a web user (did you immediately think of an experience or site where the myth rang true?).&nbsp; We will open our conversation with these reflections. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tuesday, July 13<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10am-11am EDT: Guest Speaker: Dr. Roopika Risam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Register here: <a href=\"https:\/\/gettysburg.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJYvc-irqTspGdaabmlk7a7o9LuOb9is5e0I\">https:\/\/gettysburg.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/tJYvc-irqTspGdaabmlk7a7o9LuOb9is5e0I<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the Speaker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>DSSFs should read &#8220;The Stakes of Post-Colonial Digital Humanities&#8221; from Roopika Risam&#8217;s <em>New Digital Worlds: Postcolonial Digital Humanities in Theory, Praxis, and Pedagogy<\/em> (will be posted to Teams)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wednesday, July 14<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10\u201311:30am: Project Feedback and Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Informal project presentations to the DS Committee and DSSFs.&nbsp; Come prepared to walk the committee and your peers through your project.&nbsp; Be prepared to answer questions and <em>hear<\/em> constructive criticism about your work, as well as <em>give<\/em> honest, constructive criticism about the work of your peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thursday, July 15<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10am-11am: Guest Speaker: Dr. Jill Titus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Register here: <a href=\"https:\/\/libcal.gettysburg.edu\/event\/7884293\">https:\/\/libcal.gettysburg.edu\/event\/7884293<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Jill Titus will discuss the intersections of public history and Digital Humanities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the&nbsp;Workshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu\/read\/untitled\/section\/11b9805a-a8e0-42e3-9a1c-fad46e4b78e5\">&#8220;Public, First&#8221;<\/a> by Sheila A.
