Scenario

Peter Higgs recently took a tour of MIT's fusion reactor. He thought the reactor represented a very interesting and important experiment, and was dismayed to find out that MIT had decided to defund the program.  Peter Higgs wanted to find out if there was some way he could help the experiment get its funding back. He decided he wanted to get in touch with a policy maker and ask for the government to fund the experiment. Peter, however is not very politically active, and would not consider himself to be an <update with actual Hawkins term>"activist." Instead, Peter wants to quickly find out who to contact, and ideally with the least possible amount of work, because Peter has his own life to get back to. <update with Tyler's new tasks>

Storyboard Designs

Design 1

Image Added

Learnability - This storyboard emphasizes learnabiltiy because of its focus on one task per window. There is also plenty of explanation to accompany the input fields. It may be unclear to the user how to select multiple policy makers.

...

Efficiency - This storyboard only allows for serial scheduling of calls (no batch processing), but all data entry for that call takes place on a single page. This design also relies heavily on clicking but still uses the occasional text field, which may decrease efficiency.

Design 3

Image Modified

Learnability - The lack of explanatory text may make this design difficult for novice users. The large number of options presented to the user at once may also be daunting for novices. Learnability has been sacrificed for safety and efficiency.
