[Olpc-socal] olpcNET project - Usability Test request

[Henry Villar]

Hi All,

My name is Henry Villar, and I am a Master’s degree Candidate at SFSU,
finalizing a project named olpcNET - a collaboration model. My adviser is
Dr. Sameer Verma. Last October, I participated in the OLPC San Francisco
Community Summit 2011 where I met many of you. Currently I am conducting
two “Usability Tests” for the platforms that were implemented for this
project: (1) BigBlueButton and (2) OpenQwaq. The goal of the olpcNET is to
provide to volunteers, developers, and teachers a singular place to
collaborate in the XO effort (support, development, and deployment). I will
really appreciate if you follow the steps below and answer the two
5-question surveys. The participation is anonymous, and I will be happy to
share all the results with you. Thank you in advance!

**BigBlueButton**
1. Go to: http://olpcnet.henryvillar.com
2. Click on any “Collaborate” link
2. Enter your name and Join
3. Use the available features:

  - Chat

In order to experience 2+ users, if the room is empty, you can open a new
browser session in a different window (same or different browser, it should
work in both cases).
