<div>Dear Biology students,<br>
<br>
Have you taken 7.06? Would you like to earn $30 in MIT TechCASH? <br>
<br>
If so, we are inviting you to participate in the opportunity to evaluate a new cell and molecular biology experiment simulator called StarCellBio.
<br>
<br>
StarCellBio is currently under development at MIT in the Office of Educational Innovation and Technology (OEIT). StarCellBio will be used in MIT's Cell Biology (7.06) course and in classrooms around the world to enhance students' learning of cell and molecular
biology experimentation and concepts. <br>
<br>
One of the major components of this project is an evaluation of the StarCellBio program by users through usability testing. We are inviting you to participate in a one-on-one session to evaluate StarCellBio on either Tuesday, January 21 or Wednesday, January
22. The Information Services and Technology (IS&T) Usability Team will be conducting these 90-minute one-on-one evaluations in E19-738. Usability testing participants will receive $30 TechCASH card as a thank you for participating in this evaluation and your
feedback and input is essential in improving this tool's usability and implementation in future classrooms within MIT and beyond.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in participating in this evaluation, please complete the brief survey found at
<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/StarCellBioJan2014">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/StarCellBioJan2014</a>. In this survey, you will select the best time and day for you to participate. Once you have completed the survey, a member of the Usability Team
will contact you to confirm your participation and provide further details.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
<br>
The IS&T Usability Team (Katherine Wahl & Chris LaRoche)<br>
