Description
As part of ongoing usability studies of the MSU Web site, survey and usability test data has been collected from convenience samples of MSU students: 1) new entering students enrolled in First Year Experience (FYEX 100) or Composition (Eng 101) courses, and 2) undergraduate students enrolled in Technical Communication (Eng 271) courses. The survey asked students to provide demographic information, to self-assess their Internet expertise and their success using the MSU Web site, and to report their use of specific sites within the MSU Web site. Usability testing provided a second measure of student success in using the MSU Web site. The results have implications for the design and development of the MSU Web site and for campus communication.
