16. Interviews with users/customers
Recommendations HCI standpoint ----->
1. LOW CONTRAST: I love green but the colors are not
visible. Try switching your screen to black and white and
choose a tone that could easily be read . Why is this
important? Because of PROJECTORS in classrooms! Graduate Student:
in Human Computer Interaction
University of Maryland
2. FONT: Not so clear. font sizes seem to be fixed and the Argentina
type has a low read ability. However, this fact has to be
assessed with a user test or a survey to determine the real
impact. There are also many font types and it is slightly
overwhelming, generating an unnecessary load on the
readers.

3. TASK ORIENTATION
Think about the task behind your site and your potential users.
-If I am new, I would like to know about how it works. Graduate Student:
However that section is down and I have to scroll. in Human Computer Interaction
try replacing the picture or adding some phrases before University of Maryland
the registration. Argentina
-If I am an existing user, the login is somewhat hidden
in the header in an unusual position.
18. Interviews with users/customers
Her recommendations: HCI standpoint----->
DESIGN
The lower part ("about") is considerably loaded, with low
contrast and many asymmetries. That can be nice but not in
a section aimed to read and know what is the platform about. Graduate Student :
Try to keep that area neat and use the beauty of graphics in in Human Computer Interaction
such way the information access is not affected. University of Maryland
Users might be able to read all the important content without Argentina
distractions besides the ads.
Take this as a general quick and dirty review from an HCI
standpoint. To fully support these facts you should run user
studies, A/B tests, user test or any valid technique to make
sure my assumptions about the interface express real user
perceptions.
Have an easy implementation,
