In order to better illustrate where Bblis applies, we created three personas with scenarios.
Each profile exemplifies characteristics of an audience and how they could benefit from Bblis.
By constructing fictitious personalities and walking them through realistic scenarios we are able to assess the usefulness of our feedback application by exercising its functionality. This helps us refine our interface and explore design alternatives.
Students
The first persona is Andrew Jones. He is a masters candidate and involved in many student projects. His persona describes his motivation and general attitude toward group projects. His scenario describes how the use of Bblis could improve group work.
Teaching Assistants
The second persona is Diana Franklin, a teaching assistant and Phd candidate. She is motivated to help others when they are motivated to learn. Her persona suggests a competitive person driven to succeed. Her scenario shows how Bblis could help her better understand what she can do to inspire student participation.
Professors and Instructors
The final persona is Mark Teague, a faculty member developing a new course. His persona shows his commitment to learning and devotion to his subject. His scenario illustrates the effectiveness of timely feedback when developing a new university course.
