the current site is failing to provide contact information for making an appointment, which is the number one reason people visit the site
as soon as the “barrier” is broken, students are happy with the services
perception gap: students perceive the MIT Medical is slow, but it is fast and effective
content and ui: contact information must be readily apparent - especially how to make an appointment
Different audiences have different perceptions: Medical needs to work to overcome student perceptions, but faculty and staff are content
students perceive MIT Medical as slow to respond
the site is failing to explain plans adequately
some deadlines are really important
content: crucial content needs to speak to an audience not familiar with US plans and terminology
feature: maybe a way to compare plans would help
ui/visual: key dates need to be super obvious
content on the site needs to address users and influencers
Results – scenarios of use
Results – wireframe/schematics
