My Projects
The Graduation Game and The Graduation Game: Advanced are apps designed to orient students to the undergraduate psychology program at Utah State University. I began designing them as part of a mobile technology course in my Master's Degree program. User testing was conducted during the Summer of 2017 with incoming freshmen students. As part of the user testing, students completed a survey regarding their experience with the game (see survey summary below).
Sample Survey Results:
One of the goals of this game is to help you feel more comfortable contacting your advisor. Do you feel that this goal was met?
78% of players stated Definitely yes or Probably yes
- they would feel more comfortable contacting their advisor after playing TGG
After playing this game, do you feel more comfortable navigating your upcoming course selection?
81% of players stated Definitely yes or Probably yes
- they would feel more comfortable navigating their schedule after playing TGG
How interested are you in completing all of the levels of this game?
72% of players stated positive levels of interest (moderately, very, and Extremely interested)
in completing levels of the game beyond the freshman year level
