Description
Google Forms has expanded the range of people who have access to building surveys and analyzing that data. Unfortunately, the summary view of collected data can be limited and difficult to read.
My goal in this project is to see the limitations of Google Form’s Responses feature in context with visualization design lessons taught over the duration of this course. Once limitations are found and attributed to researched principles, I want to design a more functional Form Responses Summary View feature to compare with the current design. Rather than focusing on building the application as a one person team, I wish to design a thorough “Wizard of Oz” test to see if engagement improves with the new design and what hypothesized features are actually improved design choices.
I am interested in this project because I use Google Forms pretty heavily and often find myself frustrated by the intuitive limitations I see with the system.
Project Progress Presentation
Literature Review
I tried to find out more about the history of Google Forms and Team Goals, but very difficult to find, probably information hidden within the company. I also tried to find out information about competitors and what review features they offer but could only find more advertisement like info without paying for and starting subscriptions. (I will briefly mention competitors in the final paper). I then went back and found/reread articles on what makes visualizations successful and how to make successful data interactions. Lastly, looked for articles that had a similar testing process to what I am hoping to do to borrow their methodology
