Intro and body

Introduction
I will present the findings from the usability test on portfolio creation, in this recommendation report.
Overview of my report:
• Summary
• Introduction
• Methodology
• Results
• Recommendations
The tutorial I tested was created to assist design students in constructing their portfolio. Portfolio development is one of the most valuable assets in a designer/photographer/artists arsenal. It is significant for any-one interested or perusing this career.
The purpose of the usability test I conducted was to evaluate if any student in this field could follow and understand the set of instructions. This report will consist of the two MEELS that I chose, the method for conducting the usability test, my test results, and my final recommendation.
MEELS
The MEELS that I chose were: Memorability, Learnability. If the user is unable to remember the tutorial, it was not success-full; therefore they will not learn it. I chose these two because they go hand in hand with each other.
Methodology
This portion of my report will focus on the students that took the usability test, how the test was conducted, and the data that we obtained.
Conclusion
Recommendation

analysis of research

The idea of a tutorial is to inform or confirm certain techniques or tasks, which was conveyed in the tutorial tested. Informative and simple, the tutorial was a success. However, if it would have gone into some specific detail in regards towards the required experience. Other than lacking any design, it gets the job done.

With written and visual categories, this “website” style tutorial does not contain any navigational problems or user complications. Any one that is interested in getting a portfolio based job should view this tutorial.

The test went as planned and bolth users were satisfied on what they watched.
It was short and rarely had to be repeated. Bolth users had a small number of questions.
They did nothing incorrectly and there were no hiccups on thier part.
