Design component to assess the design of or assess the user

Pick a design component to assess the design of or assess the user experience of using. This component might be part of a technology you focused on last week, one you particularly like, or don’t like and want to change. The component might be part of a technology you observed someone else using this week. The component might be part of your design for the final project, like a learning activity or follow up on an observation from a case study, a game rule, or a particular information context or service. Whichever it is, imagine you are going to perform a quick study to evaluate that component and tell us…

Describe the component and the general concept of the design (2-3 sentences).
Users/Audience/Stakeholders: who will you be studying and why?
Goal(s): Why do you want to evaluate this component? What experience(s) do you want to evaluate/improve?
Motivational affordance(s): How have user motivations informed the design already?
One method you would use
Observation method: What behaviors/tasks do you want to see users perform, and what kind of observation would you do?
Participatory design: What method would you use and how you would apply it in your study?
Interview method:
What kind of interview would you do and why?
List at least 3 questions you would ask to learn about the users’ motivations (remember, you could use an evaluation tool to “ask” the questions, such as a survey or questionnaire, instead of a face to face interview method)
