What makes a scenarios interview?
A.k.a. Quiz UI scenario gathering work in Summer 2008 - what, why and how?
After I had received the Kesäkoodi [1] funding for the project [2], it quickly started to dawn to me that if I want to take designing the new UI seriously, what it takes is really getting to know the users - teachers, IT support, and even administrators. I used all the contacts I had - namely, my old job at the university of Tampere, the ITPEDA mailing list and Moodle-rinki, a community of Finnish Moodle users.
I studied a bit about what the methods to get learn about the users are. First, I considered doing contextual inquiries, but that would have required a lot more time with each user than the one hour I had managed to agree with some teachers. So a rather informal interview it was. Next, I am going to introduce here the different parts of what I did, so you can do so too if you want to.
