We are inviting you to participate in a one-on-one session to evaluate StarCellBio
on either Tuesday, June 3 or Wednesday, June 4. 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 a
<b>$30 Amazon gift card</b> 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.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4">If you are interested in participating in this evaluation, please complete the brief survey found at <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/starcellbio_may2014" style="color: purple; ">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/starcellbio_may2014</a><span style="color: rgb(1, 0, 255); ">. </span>In
