I have more understanding of usability studies with literate adults, where you can have a controlled environment. With the idea that you set goals/tasks to be completed with the interface and ask the user to vocalise what they think they are doing ("I'm clicking this because I think it's the search button..."). You only interact with them once they are clearly stuck, to help them get back on track. Asking for any-ones opinion is usually frowned upon in usability studies, as opinion is almost always different from actual behaviour – but some opinions are better than nothing, which is why I keep asking :-) Perhaps I should work with Walter and Aleksey's initial toolbar code and make an identical test clone of TA but with the new toolbar design (I can use Aleksey's Write mock-up code as an example)? Then you could let the class (or a random selection of the class) use it for some tasks and watch how well (or not) they manage with the new interface? Simon: have you used TA yet in your lessons?
