Description

These are the recruitment email templates used for this research. They can be modified and reused for other research.

1. Initial recruitment email

Hello everyone,

(I'm contacting you as you all agreed to receive invitations to pip usability testing sessions)

The pip team have been working on the new resolver and we're now are ready to test some new functionality with you all.

We have organised research sessions between today (Friday 5th of June) and next Tuesday (9th of June).

We're interested in speaking with people of all levels of experience and knowledge.

How long will the session take?

Each session will last 25 minutes. We are trying to keep to a tight schedule so have a strict cut-off for 25 minutes and won't be able to go overtime.

Where will it happen?

This session will take place using a Google Hangout call (the link will be in the invite). If you'd prefer to use a different tool, please let me know before hand.

What will happen in the session?

We will use Hangout's screensharing to share our screen with you.

We will show you some new pip functionality, and ask you to try to complete a task.

We'll then ask you to read a web page, and we'll ask you for your understanding of it. Finally we'll ask some related questions.

There's no wrong answer in this testing! We're looking for feedback to improve the work.

How will the information I provide be handled?

These sessions will not be recorded. The research (Bernard Tyers) will take written notes. Specific information that might identify you (Names of people, companies, countries) will be anonymised. The researcher will ask for permission to share the notes will be shared with the pip team members. You are in control of who sees this information.

I want to take part! What do I do?

  2. choose a date and time
  3. reply to this email with your preference for date and time.

We're looking forward to speaking with you.
