Subject: Instruction Usability Test Results

Dear Megan Baltimore,

I have attached the results from the observational usability test for How to Landdo An Ollie. Girl
Skateboard’s initiative for this instructional packet, to reach a broader audience of beginner and
intermediate skateboarders, was successful. The usability test includes observations from a single
participant’s interaction with the instructions. The participant was able to successfully
successfully complete the instructions and perform annd Ollie with the assistance of the
instructions.

The participant’s interaction with the instructions was mostly positive, although she did have
some recommendations for improvement of formatting and content. Step 1 could be improved
rewritten to better communicate the necessary foot positioningg. I propose something along the
lines of: “The diction of this step should be rewritten as, “With the board perpendicular to your
body, place your dominant foot in the middle of the board. Place your non dominant foot on the
tail of the board, your pinky toe will be towards the edge of the board.” It is important that we
alsoto also include that a reminder that everyone’s foot placement will may be slightly
differentvary.

Overall, the instructions were successful and achieved the goal of teaching an intermediate skater
how to doland an Ollie. With the improvements listed, the instructions should be even more
efficient. Thank you for taking the time to review the results.
