specifications, based on findings from user experience research in a
real-world context. This assessment is based on the proposal

report that describes the background, methods, findings, design
specifications (for example, a persona and a journey map), a design

consent form and agree to participate” and include their name
3. Upload PDF of email response to Canvas

not representative
2. Existing Users: via email, website popups, sales team, social media
3. Online Service Recruitment: e.g., Usertesting.com Mechanical Turk
4. Recruitment agencies: quick but expensive
