User Research
For the execution of the contextual inquiry, we conducted an on-site interview whenever possible. Before we carried out each contextual inquiry, the interviewees were asked to sign a consent form. Upon seeking consent from the interviewee, the session is recorded for transcription purposes. During the interview, we adopted the master-apprentices method where 1 interviewer would ask questions while the note taker(s) would take down notes about the interview on a FigJam board.
