First sketch, from group meetings, of the notebook used by our Lab Tech observation group.
ELM Notebooks was a group capstone project for for CS464 Principals of Human-Computer Interaction course at CSU.
My group used a contextual inquiry approach to conduct observations/interviews with laboratory biologists in a real lab setting. We then applied user-centered design techniques to prototype an application meant to improve their workflow by eliminating breakdowns which were identified in the observation/interview stage.
The following links display some of the work we accomplished.
