Create materials for RA orientation

Purpose

For each project, a usability orientation presentation and packet are created. These materials give RAs an overview of who DORIS is, the organization being studied, what is expected of them onsite, what a usability study is, and how to use Vantage Space.

Responsible Party

Data Analyst or Ops Manager

Interdependencies

RA contractors have been hired and/or DORIS corporate employees have been informed they are doing the usability study. 

Directions

    Make a copy of the Usability RA Training Summary template located in the shared drive/Templates/Research Project/3 -  Challenge Seeking/Usability. Rename it [Client] Usability Training Summary and save it to the client folder/3 - Challenge Seeking/Usability. Check to make sure the top headers as the correct client name, and that the blurb below is accurate to the study. On-site Expectations, Observation Guidelines, Activity Selection Clarifications, Technology Tags, and Reminders will all stay the same. Print out blank sheets with lines that can be found on page 9 of the RA Usability Orientation Presentation- New RA training linked below.

    Note

If we need to hire an RA through a temp agency, we would need to conduct a more formal training and take them through the RA Usability Orientation Presentationvirtually. onWe InDesignwould andthen inputprovide the organizationUsability nameRA ontraining the first slide and the name and logo on slide 7
