### **Procedure**
1. The mediator will provide the user with a graphic of a paper boat
2. The mediator will give the user a computer, tablet or phone with the widget (1st slider, 2nd dial)
3. The mediator will orate the following task, “Using the widget, make the boat longer”
4. The mediator will time the user from when they complete orating the task and stop the time when the user explicitly says, “done”, the mediator will also take observe and take notes of the user completing the task
5. The mediatory will give the user a second task, “Using the widget, make the boat taller”
6. The mediator will again time the user from when they complete orating the task till the user explicitly says “done”, the mediator will also take observe and take notes of the user completing the task

### **Post Session Interview**
1. When the mediator gave you the task, were you able to understand it?
1. When the proctor gave you the task, were you able to understand it?
2. Was it hard or easy to make the boat longer and taller using the slider widget? “ “ “ using the dial widget? Why?
3. Which widget was more easy for you to use? Why? Did you already know how to use the widget?
4. Would another widget make completing the task more easy? Is there a game or app that is similar to this exercise?
