Data collection tools
We shared storyboards with our participants to stimulate discussions and introduce usability testing to people who had not previously taken part in usability studies. You could use our drawings or develop your own.

What does usability testing look like for a participant?
In this storyboard we describe what usability testing could look like for a participant to stimulate a conversation about people's preferences for taking part in studies. The storyboard shows examples of what might happen. For example, in "1. Be invited to a usability study", we show a participant scanning a QR code. People may be familiar with and prefer other ways of being invited to a study. This is what we wanted to find out for this and each of the drawings.
