Audience Interview 3
1- Prepare an End-user version of your schema (Before Class)
Using the final (or near final) version of your schema, prepare a bullet list version of your
information type that shows the idea of your schema in an end-user friendly way.
For example, suppose your information type is Whale Species and each item has a title (the
name of the whale), a description (block model), a mating habits and a range (inline model)
element. Further the mating habits element has season, number of mates, and mating details
(inline) sub-elements. Your bullet list might look like this
A Whale Species
Title (the species name)
Description (multiple paras)
Mating habits
Season
# mates
Details (one para)
Range (one para)
In other words, take out the <> and replace the nesting with bullet and sub bullet lists. You will
use this to present your final model to the audience member.
Paste your bullet list version below
2- Publications: general interview (during class)
Answer these questions with your audience member about general preferences for information
delivery:
For the type of information I am collecting,
rank the following types of publications. First
is the way you would most like to consume
this information and last is the way you would
least like it
A book

First is the way you would most like to consume this information and last is the way you would least like it  A book

 A magazine  A video  A podcast  A web site  Email messages  A PDA site (for a mobile device)  Other? Of the navigation structures we decided on together, rank them from most to least important ways you want to navigate through this information:  Hierarchy(s)  Index(s)  Sequence(s)  Xrefs 3- One Item Layout Of course, regardless of your audience member’s preferences, the constraints of this class dictate that you deliver a web site only (unless you have the energy to do otherwise). Given this, present your bullet list version of your schema to your audience member and work with them through to a sketch of a preferred web presentation (layout, fonts, titling, etc.) for one item. Reproduce that sketch here: 4 - Sample Site Review Go through the sample site with your audience member. Come up with a list of things that the audience member would like you to change about the page layout and the presentation of the navigation. Changes to the presentation of an item were covered above. Change # Priority (high, Change to what? (Page layout, Change description
