200 words discussion about usability due in 8 hrs from now

Due in 8 hours from now/ due by 1 pm Eastern US time

 

Write 200 words discussion post about:

 

Usability is really about asking testers to use your draft the same way target readers will.  To learn where you need to make revisions, you should construct a test in which the test readers use your draft to perform the same tasks your target readers will want to perform with the finished communication (Anderson, Technical Communication: A Reader-Centered Approach, p. 432). 

For today’s discussion, explain how you would “test” the usability in each of the following communications:

a. A display in a national park that is intended to explain to the public how the park’s extensive limestone caves were formed.

b. Instructions that tell homeowners how to design and construct a patio.  Assume that you must test the instructions without having your test readers actually build a patio. (Anderson, p. 443).
