Help APS Improve Its Website

The APS Web Team is hard at work, redesigning www.aps.edu to serve you better, and we need your help!

We’re conducting a usability exercise on our current website next week, and we need volunteer participants. The data we collect from these exercises will help us improve our website’s organization, navigation, and content.

What is this “usability exercise,” anyway?
In a usability exercise, users are asked to perform a set of tasks in order to measure a website's ease of use, the time it takes to complete tasks, and the user's perception of the experience. You don’t need to be an APS or computer expert! In fact, ideal participants are people who are not intimately familiar with the district or our current website.

Here’s how the test works:

• We’ll give you a computer and a set of tasks we’d like you to accomplish using www.aps.edu
• We’ll watch and take notes as you accomplish each task
• After 30-45 minutes, we’ll thank you for your time, give you a small token of our appreciation, and you’ll be free to go!

Can you help?
Are you interested in participating in a usability exercise at APS City Center sometime in the next few months?

If so, please contact Lesley Molecke at 880-3738 or at lesley.molecke@aps.edu to sign up.

We may contact you to join us on October 15th, or to join us for another testing session in January.

Thank you!
