Artefact 4 - Transcript

Below is the introduction into the transcript and the debate/conversation to the first question.

This is the debate from the focus group. It was done after the five candidates tested both websites and then began with the questions as starting points to the topic. I asked the entire participants individual to fill in a question sheet with the three questions as in the debate/ focus group as all the participants didn’t have an opinion or make a comment in some of the areas. I have named each individual as a participant and number to keep them anonymous. Overall I believe I got some good results but unfortunately the conversations and debates didn’t last as long as I hoped. This is one of the reasons I decided to take it further by asking the questions individually.


Me: Ok after looking at the two websites I’m now going to begin the questions. Question one; After looking at both websites which one did you prefer and what where the reasons for this?
Participant 1: I preferred the first one because it had certain features that stood out and
Participant 2: I also liked The Guinness website as it was more appealing visually and had a lot of different features.
Me: Did anyone like the second website instead of the first?
Participant 3: I preferred the second but did like the game like environment of the second.
Me: why was that?
Participant 3: Erm because of the game like aspects.
Participant 2: I found the game like aspects distracting and hard to use.
Me: participant 3 why did you like those aspects more than the interactions in the first website?
Participant 3: because its different and instead of it just being a mouse to get around the website you can use the keyboard in the same way controlling a character. Which I found quite cool and more interesting to use.
Me: Ok
