Hi there! I'm Caroline. I'm a recent graduate of McGill. I'm interested in Computer Science Education, Human-Computer Interaction, and Software Design.

I like to spin, learn languages, and travel.

Projects

Slack Notification Priority System

Human-Computer Interaction course with Professor Cooperstock, McGill University
Fall 2017
Group Project: Juliette Valenchon, Thomas Labourdette
Personalizer and prioritizer of Slack notifications based on user's preferences and message content. Exploiting an user-centered, iterative design process, we first conducted an observational study, observing Slack users conducting tasks such as responding to messages while multitasking. With the observations, we created audience segments. In the next phase, we built a paper prototype and tested it with personas we identified in the first phase. We revised our initial design based on feedback from these user studies and developed a Computer Prototype. We designed a second user study to be carried out by other members of the class and we are awaiting results from this user study as well as a Heuristic Evaluation from the other group. We presented a Beta notification system for our final project.
