  • Recruit 2 participants and use the provided Cognitive Walkthrough form to evaluate each task with your lo-fi prototype.
  • You should have six walkthrough forms in total (3 tasks × 2 participants). Each form must document:
  • The exact steps participants took
  • Your evaluation based on these four questions:
    • Will the user try to achieve the correct outcome?
    • Will the user notice that the correct action is available?
    • Will the user associate the action with the expected outcome?
    • After the action, will the user see progress toward the goal?
  • Compile your key findings and insights from the walkthrough. You may use ChatGPT to support analysis and reflection.
