I am testing the idea of using screencasts to participate in remote usability. I tried this out as a beta tester for SocialSource Commons during the usability sprint.

Testing instructionsÃâ%scaron
1) CREATE AND POPULATE A TOOLBOX: The new version of SSC generalizes the existing "Personal Toolbox" features, and allows each user to maintain multiple lists of tools in separate toolboxes. As your first task, please create a new Toolbox. Then populate this toolbox with tools. You can either use your own idea for what list of tools to create, or draw from one of the following:
* Volunteer Management Tools
* Open Source Content Management Systems
* The Set of Tools I Use to Accomplish Task "X"
* My Favorite Tools (e.g., at Work, at Home, on the Road, etc)
2) FIND A TOOL: One of the primary goals of SSC is to help you find tools relevant to your nonprofit use. You will likely use the search feature to populate the toolbox you create. Please make sure to try two different types of searches: first, look for a tool that you know by name or other specific data; second, look for tools by category or keyword.
3) ADD A TOOL: Add a new tool that has not yet been entered into SSC database, and enter as much additional information about that tool as possible.
4) FIND AND ADD CONTACTS: By building a list of contacts for your accounts, you create a network of people from whom you can find out about new tools. By searching or browsing, find several interesting individuals and add them to your contacts list.
