1Interviewee quote"At first know I searched for activity becasue it says it's a resource resource for teacher on how to engage students. So because of the word engage I looked in activity first, like the hands on activity one first but then there was nothing under it. And then my second best bet was that this was a lesson plan since it's engaging students in a classroom, so I thought it would be a lesson plan but it turned out it's a video because I didn't find it and that was where mascots because it isn't really mentioned video and the description""May be the educater, they will have better understanding of what they are looking for, avabile to select the grade level to narrow the topics, but me searching a topic is very diffcult. Because there is only four choice by subject. I expect to see a narrow set of result. I feel it should have another way to further narrow these third page of result.""why it's categorized this way. I don't understand the the method of why it's listed this way. it's not alphabetical. it's not by category like history English, arts, six through 12 six through eight, nine""There's not really any kind of default organizational scheme to the materials is there?""I'm expecting that they have some kind of way of assessing using the materials, that they have some sort of standards, whether they're common core or state standards, because we need that for our lesson plans, that there's going to be a progression of like, I can explain or model something I do."
"I would have liked to have gone through the Student Activity things but there's no assessment. And that's a really critical component for everything we do something because you can't just do activities they have to be they have to be grounded in the objective and, and have something in the curriculum map that word doing at the time. So we're constrained a lot by that."
3
Analysis/ InterpretationThe categoring of the topics are not clear and informative, user got confused easily by the false informationl. The user is not able to further narrow down the list, she feel there will be a another way to narrow this result up.The user is not able to understand the organization of the content on the results page -- prefers alphabetical order to find specific results.With or without filters, the educational resources aren't arranged into an identifiable pattern.User found critical component missing from lesson plan
4
Issue The "Critical Thinking in Action" in categorized as a lesson plan, however, it will only show up if user put in the video filter.There is only 4 options give to users with limit resource and unproductive search filter option.There is no way to sort the results data according to user preference. The organization of the content on the page is confusing.This adds to the difficulty of finding the exact material you're looking for using filters This actually interfere with teacher using the educational material provided
5
RecommendationBe precise of the topics categories, and if there are miultiple filter realted to a topic, make sure to include all.Add other filter help user narrow down the resource topic, to ensure that they are as effective as possible.Add sorting options with filter optionsAdditional tags and filters will help, but maybe we could also consider adding priority to umbrella categories and Overview materials to make it easy to find those first and navigate from there.Add assessment to lesson plans

2Interviewee quote"I think it doesn't, or maybe it would make sense if I'm actually a teacher. But I think it's harder. Maybe it's easier if they're looking for a lesson plan and they're filtering by the grade level.""Fliter list is illustration, can not search with out four words.""If they're categories or have the same titles, maybe they should all be in the same search thing.""I see activities, but there's no real sort of, there's like, background on the artworks, there's activities, but the teachers gonna have to lay out the I do, you do, we do. You do on your own. So I wish there were a little bit of more. I, it's just the problem is we don't have a lot of time. I would have to figure this out, and it would take longer."
"I have to download the whole thing. I think, Oh, God, just Sure. Because if I was going to sort of like create a PowerPoint or something from it, rather than a handout it would be nice if I could do that."
The I Do – We Do – You Do model involves you in following a series of steps starting with you leading instruction and finishing with students working independently.
8
Analysis/ InterpretationUsers are having issues with understanding the meanings or purpose of the filters.Fliter list does not give auidence option to select with out four words. They feel being tricked. The user expects the resources of same title to be in one category.The teacher thinks that SAAM doesn't provide enough content in their teaching plan to make teacher's life easier and save time, and she also mentioned specific teaching module that the lesson plan is not applying to
9
Issue The filter is hard to understand by users who are not teachers.Filter list with limit resource.A lot of result resources with repetitive names and dataUsers either did not find the specified resource, or got lost in the repetitive titles and ended up clicking a sub category.The user, as a teacher, found that even though the lesson plans are helpful, they are not easy for teachers to use.
10
RecommendationReplace current terms with more precise ones.Adding key text to your filter page, it can help users find the perfect resourcesList same headings as one result -- avoid confusion and repetitive titlesConsider consolidating sub categories into single "Overview" resources with easy to find links to the subcategories for that particular resource.Providing complied files of artworks and artists, as well as teaching plan on the resources page
11
Add language change options in the same resource rather than repeating it.

3Interviewee quote"I see a bar underneath it. So maybe you can just type there because there's also a search link. So there's a bunch of search and then I feel like I could just type but then I when I looked down I saw the search bar then I understand that this is where you type.""I wasn't realize it is so short and base from Task 4 <Latino Art & Culture: Make a new life in United States>, Task 3 <Critical Thinking in Action> have bunch of text but Task 3 <Critical Thinking in Action> does not have.""No, because I kind of wish there was the original picture to show that I'm on the right page.""I guess I expected to see a course outline or something on this page"not exact quote "The menu drop down is hard to navigate"
14
Analysis/ InterpretationThe underline of the the headline is confusing, and user think that is a search bar where you can just type.Auidence feel the Task 3 and Task 4 resource page looks very different, from layout to the text size font, Task 3 resource page have a giant picture blocks the text section by section, and lot of text than Task 4.The users are not confident if they are on the right page as the image/title from results does not match the details pageUser expected to be shown a quick overview of the selected material upon clicking into the resource.The menu drop down gets triggered very easily and it blocks almost all of the contents and it's hard to get rid of
15
Issue The natural indication for users of words with underline is that it can be a search bar. The multiple search bars and mapping of them is confusing the users' navigation experiences. Visual Hierarchy issueThe users are not confident if they are on the right page as the image/title from results does not match the details pageThe descriptions written for each resource do not reveal much about how the actual course content will be delivered.The menu drop down gets triggered very easily and it blocks almost all of the contents and it's hard to get rid of
16
RecommendationReduce the number of the search bars, and take out the underline of the headline. Rethink about the mapping of the search bar and healine to give the overall search/filter page a clean and minimized desgin.Resource page should maintaining consistency in both image size and text formattinghave similar data from results card in the details page for people to feel confident that they are on the right pageAlongside the flavorful descriptions, consider adding a description that just describes the course's content upfront. (This resource is a video series about [Course Content] or This resource is a hands on activity where students will hear about [course content] and give presentations about it)make the menu drop down smaller or make it slick instead of just hover to trigger

4Interviewee quote"Yeah. Yeah, I think and I think the description of the educational resources, some of them are very short and some of them are like, extremely long. So I think, like, maybe they can try to make like the less of the description, almost the same. That will be better.""The picture too large, for no reason, it break the section. The introduction should be on the top, I need to read all the section to determine which one is most important. ""I wonder if they update their resources"
19
Analysis/ InterpretationThe length of the descriptions of different topics are not even on the website. Picture break the sections for no section.
20
Issue Some of the descriptions are really long but some don't have any which make the navigation of the website require a lot of scrolling.Image size and resolutionDrop down - covers most of the screen - hard way outuser want to know when the lesson plan was created and if SAAM update it
21
RecommendationKeep the length of the descriptions consistent. Not having the image too big, that distract the auidence reading preference.Make the drop-down from nav bars shorter Include when this lesson plan was created?
22
23
5Interviewee quote"Yeah, it's a maybe a little bit confusing to me. And then yeah, I think the search bar above the at least for now, the search bar above the futures maybe a little bit unnecessary to me because like there are only 114 results. So I think like once you apply the filters, you will see maybe like 10 or 20 resources and then you can just like select what you directly select what you're what you want."Why don't they place English version and Spanish version together? It takes time for me to find exactly same resource but in different version?
24
Analysis/ InterpretationThe multiple search bar is confused, and is it neccesary to have a search bar with this less amount of information.Auidence not able to quickly switch different two lanuage in resource page.
25
Issue The small amount of information in the reasource make the search bar seems to be less important Same content not link togetherResources that have more resources (like branches) are placed with the resources that contain a single pdf/video/lesson plan. Participants are unable to anticipate what is in the resource.User think that museum should look at how teachers are being evaluated and make sure that their lesson plans/resources fullfill the aspects that the evaluations are looking for
26
RecommendationHad two language resource website link together, so she could switch from different articles without search again.If the topic branches out - make a way to differentiate themAdding a sections that talks about whihc evaluation standard that the lesson plan is fulfilling

6Interviewee quote"I think it makes sense. You just need to print there's a lot of whitespace so you need to scroll a bit and I saw the PDF. So I think this would be helpful if I'm a teacher for K to 12."
29
Analysis/ InterpretationTo many white space
30
Issue To many white space reuiqre longer scrolling time, causing problem for users. The labeling and position of resources (such as pdf link button) are the first things participants look for. It is not in the best placement.
31
RecommendationProvide proper spaces between sections on the website. Make topic result for lesson plan more clear -- pdf placement and videos in correct manner
32
33
7Interviewee quote"l I have applied the Spanish filter by the the lesson the lesson sorry, the resource I want to find does not show up. So I guess it's not belonging to the Spanish category."
34
Analysis/ InterpretationThe user applied the spanish filter to look for the topic related to spanish culture, however, spanish in the filter indicated lanuages not the regions of topic.
35
Issue By their first instinct, users think the languages filter is region.
36
RecommendationMake two seperate categories of filter, one language and one country, so when they see two similar categories they will pause and think about it.
37
38
8Interviewee quote"as think the layout is fine for the description section maybe I think like the description can use a different heading compared to the to the questions. So I think the like the word description could be left can be bigger. And there is a empty empty space like between description and how can artwork teach us something? I think that's like empty, empty space is not that necessary. Otherwise I think is fine."
39
Analysis/ InterpretationThe font of heading and description content are the same, and there are some unnecessary whitespace.
40
Issue The choice of fonts are not effective and unsuccessful of distinguishing the different content bodies. White space is also casuing confusion of content sections.
