Thinking About Questionnaires

Just some notes from the last lecture, apologies for not getting this up sooner. Further notes in the required reading are available on the module webpage. (Linked to the right).

Steps for Questionnaires:
1. What is the Questionnaire about? Define your goals.
2. Determine your Sampling Group.
3. Write it.
4. Give it.
5. Interpret Results.

I've been thinking about these and will bring some of my ideas to our meeting today. Since we will find it difficult to find elderly people to give this questionnaire to, we will have to complete them in character as our personas. Thus, out sampling group is rather small, but it is focussed at the elderly - in our previous meeting we suggested >75.
As far as I can see, our goals for this questionnaire are to discover what features the elderly would want in a piece of technology that will allow them to keep their independence for longer. Any comments?
