Brief :
Creative challenge
How might we turn otherwise static websites into pages that feel updated, dynamic and relevant? How should live updates sit alongside our archive and connect to the rest of the BBCs content?

Evaluation
We are testing primarily for ease of use and learnability of our system. Because our user base is quite wide, we need to be sure that the system is easily accessible to people and make it so that people would want to use it. Well be testing users on some basic tasks, as well as comparing the system against BBCs traditional products.
Why did we do A/B Testing? Why did we use the System Usability Scale?
