The document describes the development of an interactive presentation tool called Presentation Creation Wizard to help advocates educate audiences about preventing sexual violence. It was designed to allow creating adaptive presentations while collecting anonymous participation data. Usability testing found it was easy to navigate but could be improved by addressing issues like confusing labels and lack of interaction cues. The tool aims to encourage audience engagement through mobile apps while supporting advocates' work.

1. XPres Presentation Tool
Combating Sexual Violence through
Education

2. The Problem: Rape and Violence
Against Women Normalized

3. Finding the Solution
● Familiarize ourselves with the topic
● Interview advocates at WRAC, RVAP, RVA
(Chicago), and Iowa CASA (D.M.) to learn what
they are trying to do
● Research apps that address the problem

4. ● Advocates struggling to reach teen and college-aged
audiences
● Agencies fighting to collect relevant data to help secure
needed funding
● Static apps that did not support interaction with
knowledgeable support personnel
● SOLUTION: Support advocates and agencies in
their quest to provide effective preventative
education
What Did We Find?

5. THE IDEA:
● Create an interactive presentation tool that not only
allowed presenters to create adaptive presentations, but
also gave digital access to content for the audience
● Such a tool would also provide presenter the power to
wirelessly collect demographic and effective data
automatically stored in a database system
● WE CALLED IT . . .

6. Presentation Creation Wizard
● Conversing Model
● Quicker for first-time
and infrequent users
● Give access to most
important aspects of
full program
● Allow experienced
users ability to avoid
or bypass

7. Timeline Concept
● Both presentation
and mobile
interactions should
be displayed on
screen
● Users can drop
material directly
into a timeline
● Audience
interaction through
mobile devices

8. Mobile Interaction App
● Must encourage
increased audience
participation
● Must allow anonymous
and secure usage
● Must allow ability to
preview content
● Must support wireless
access

9. DEMONSTRATION

10. Results of Usability Testing: PROS
● Easy to navigate
● Familiar interface
● Steps to complete tasks proved memorable
● Pop-up windows and error messages provided
helpful feedback
● No broken links or unexpected behaviors

11. Results of Usability Testing: CONS
● Some confusing labels (too similar in
meaning)
● Mis-understanding of the terms (‘wizard’)
● Lack of digital clues to help users interact
with timeline interface
● Missing functionality (‘tab’ between fields,
direct text entry, quicker error correction for
draggable objects)
● No ability to retrieve forgotten login
information

12. Demographics
● 3 females, 3 males
● Gifted and Talented counselor, PhD Counseling
Education student, Public Policy Specialist, Teacher, 2
Public Health Graduate Students
● Most had experience with Powerpoint, Prezi, and basic
Windows applications
● All had considerable experience with laptop,
smartphone, and tablet technology
● All had given slide presentations in past, but none
created such objects more than once a week

13. Tasks Completed
*Expected times based on program performance, not on user
experience or expertise

14. Brief discussion of results
● Large discrepancy in expected and observed times
suggest obstacles exist for users to complete desired
tasks
● Most likely reasons for discrepancy: Interactive items
on page not recognizable with mouse over, lack of
contextual changes in interface to indicate system
progress, limited keyboard shortcuts

15. The future . . .
● Use Java as the programing language
● Maintain basic look and feel already established in hi-fi
prototype, improving interactive elements
● Address issues raised in usability study
● Develop and design additional functionality not included
in prototype
● Re-test completed program with new study, including
original target demographic, but also branching out to
other educational areas
