AtGentive IST-4-027529-STP - Attentive Agents for Collaborative LearnersTask 3: Finding the member profile of ‘Paul Rudman’Participants 1,2,3 and 5 navigated directly to the ‘Members’ page after being handed thetask. We had chosen a member profile which was not visible on the main Members page onpurpose. This was to force the user to search for the profile by other means. On average thefour participants spent 54 seconds looking at the Members page before deciding what to do.The shortest time spent looking at the page was 16 seconds, but the participant in question(Participant 3) came back for another 50 seconds after glancing at the ‘Search’, ‘Community’and ‘Personal’ pages. Participants 2 and 3 proceeded to use the generic Search function tofind requested profile, whereas participants 1 and 5 eventually clicked on the ‘Members(alphabetical)’ link on the right of the screen. Participant 4 did not go the Members page at allbut instead went directly to the Search page.Distribution of gazeAlmost half (49 %) of all fixations were on the central grid containing member profile boxes.14 % of fixations were on the box to the left listing the last visitors on the site. 7 % of fixationswere on the filter box on the right.Figure 33 First view of the Members pageDel 4.4: AtGentive Final Evaluation Report page 37
