Abstract

Cal State East Bay is consistently ranked as one of the most diverse campuses in the United States. The presenters decided to talk with their diverse student body, especially first generation college students, to understand their experience with and reaction to Primo. Rather than observing students complete tasks, the presenters were interested in learning about the user’s perspective of the tool in terms of inclusivity and approachability.

The presenters held focus groups of students in February 2019 to elicit reactions about Primo and presented those results at ELUNA in May 2019. Then, they implemented some changes and embarked on a two-tier assessment: 1) they followed up with the original focus group participants for their perspectives on the changes; 2) they held additional focus groups, both in person and online, to reach as many students as possible.

The presenters will share the results of their follow-up study and inspire you to listen to students’ experiences.
