Attending: Cora Rose Bobo-Shisler, Victoria Ackroyd, Shannon Mitchell, Marguerite Dibble, Elizabeth Seyler

Mock Facilitator Training

• Shannon gives an overview of the purpose of testing.

• Was it helpful to have the document in advance? - There was a bug opening the tool link in firefox

• Facilitators should make sure to use the “Develop” link

• Complete the facilitator form ahead of testing to walk through what that will feel like.

• Elizabeth will update the form to ensure people can submit multiple responses

• Cora didn’t realize how the browse cover crop flow worked, so mentioning that to other facilitators would be good.

• Cora also glad to see how to get to the selected crops and the comparison view.

• Cora will check about updates on recruiting & who will test

• How to communicate the testers? → Email Marguerite & Elizabeth so we can have a tracker

• This looks great! The way it’s laid out is very helpful, it answers so many of my questions for me. Excited to try for the mock test and see how it goes. The biggest part is the narrative and seeing how I approach interacting with people

• encourage people to narrate their experience as they’re going through (added to the brief)

• Based on how it goes with Victoria, we might make tweaks before the Monday testing.

• Victoria may have small interruptions during the mock testing session.

• Are their options to record sessions tomorrow? → we can, Elizabeth will

  • Cora would like to see how it looks → invited for tomorrow

Shannon’s Feedback: Add a request to screenshare to the script.

• Do we need direction on what to do with the popup?

• Describe what page the “home page” is

• encourage facilitators to take questions 1 by 1 not all at once. Make sure people are speaking to what the feedback is used for

• Encourage respondents to explore for a moment or two before asking questions, encourage them to enter in whatever they think is right for their area.

• Include a disclaimer about the data

• Let people know we’re specifically looking to learn about what works for the west

• Tell people to use the tool

• maybe adjust the questions to ask for narration? Is there anything you notice that feels like its missing or needed? Tell us what you think?
  - or flip it to “We’re curious to hear if this page feels like it has what’s needed to support people in the west, is there anything that feels like it’s missing or needed?

• Design idea: Should we have some callouts on the infosheet → “Looking for seeding rates? try out our seeding rate calculate HERE”

• Design Idea: Could info sheet be searchable

• Change question to “Do you use another tool or factor for __? If so how does this compare?”

• Should we have a dropdown for eco-region? do we have that already?
