IMA2: Usability Report

Description

Duolingo is a language-learning app that offers lessons in a variety of languages and allows users of all skill levels to learn or brush up on their language of choice. The app allows users to take lessons of increasing difficulty, building their skill set, and incorporates gamified elements to increase user engagement and motivation. There is also a social aspect to the app, which allows users to connect with friends as well as join language clubs to practice their skills with other users.

The Duo Trio team members completed a usability assessment, conducting one-on-one usability tests with six individuals. The team members asked the testers to complete seven tasks and captured the number of taps each task took, the amount of time each task took, the number of errors, and any other relevant observations. After completing all tasks, each tester then completed two surveys to gauge their satisfaction with the app.

Educational Value

If an app is well designed, the user should be able to quickly learn how to navigate it, perform tasks quickly without making critical errors, remember how to use it when returning to the app, and be satisfied with their experience. Conducting a usability test allows developers to assess the design of an app or website, including learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction, and make adjustments to the app accordingly.
