Here are the results of two of tests that I have done. There are notes for each task that I thought had an interesting result. The most notable result is that both of my test participants went to guidelines and resources and implementing to find out about a web accessibility technique (forms and long descriptions for charts). The word "technique" didn't click with either of them until after they had been exploring the site for a while.

He felt very comfortable and had not problem understanding the collapsing metaphor. Task 5: He didn't realize that WAI Groups was the place to find out about participation. He went to Guidelines and resources and then General. He said he would have never thought of WAI Groups. Task 6: Went to guidelines and resources then implementing. He then backed out and went to Guidelines and techniques, wcag overview, and techniques. He said he felt like he was "being overpowered by the things on the right," for the overview pages. ****************************************** Wes > - What is your occupation and title?

Isn't Task 5: The idea of WAI groups made sense to him and went there to find out about participation. Task 6 & 7: For both tasks he went from Guidelines and Resources and then to Implementing and then Implementation Plan. He then went to the development section and then Techniques. He was able to find the correct info, but probably not the way that was expected. Task 8: He started out in About WAI. He then jumped to Guidelines and Resources then General.
