The objective is to design OrcaLearn, an interface that will train Orcasound users to correctly identify SRKW calls.
The interface will be an open-source web app, aligned with the main website's mission to engage users in sound science and contribute to the protection of whales.
Orcasound faces a significant challenge in educating and preparing its users to proficiently identify SRKW calls during listening events.
To tackle this issue, stakeholders at Orcasound have sought the development of OrcaLearn - a dedicated interface that imparts the necessary skills to tag SRKW calls with precision and confidence.
Joining the project during a transition between team leads, our protagonist faces the challenge of limited documentation and information.
To overcome this, we conduct thorough research, ask questions, and analyze available materials. They improve navigation and information architecture, laying the groundwork for a high-fidelity prototype.
66.7% of the participants (4 out of 6) did not scroll the Orcasound Home screen.
50% of the participants (3 out of 6) found the Sea Sounds labels inconsistent between numbers and letters.
33.3% of the participants (2 out of 6) experienced difficulty in navigating back to the Orcahome or finding their previous location.
83.3% of the participants (5 out of 6) loved the Sound Catalog.
50% of the participants (3 out of 6) did not fully experience the Test feature.
