Comparative Usability Study of a University Website (PDF)

This quantitative study was created as a requirement of my first co-op placement at the University of Windsor. The University of Windsor’s website www.UWindsor.ca is a comprehensive website used by many people. The target audience includes students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests. This target audience is common among most university websites. The audience and information presents an opportunity to perform a different kind of usability study: a comparative study. Time on task was measured and compared across three different University websites analyzed using analysis of variance.  47 participants took part in this study.
