What is the GenderMag Recorder's Assistant?

The GenderMag Recorder’s Assistant is a tool to identify gender-inclusiveness issues in software.

It is easy to use and can be used by software engineers to management to usability experts.

If you want to help make software gender-inclusive, one way is to contribute to the GenderMag Recorder’s Assistant.

We welcome everyone with any background to contribute to making the world of software more gender inclusive.

How to Run a GenderMag Session Using the Tool

A GenderMag session is simply an instance of using the GenderMag method. If you have downloaded and installed the tool and want to run it, make sure the extension is enabled, navigate to the page you wish to perform GenderMag on and click the GenderMag button at the bottom of the screen.

See the video from GenderMag.org for examples and/or read the guide below.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to run the Recorder Assistant tool:

  1. After you have installed the GenderMag recorder's assistance extension a maroon button will appear on the bottom middle of the screen. Click it to open the tool.

  2. After clicking on the maroon button, text explaining what GenderMag is will appear on the screen. Click on "Start GenderMag" to get started.

  3. Enter the name of your team and click submit.

  4. Select the persona that you want to use for this session. Currently, you can select from these personas: Abi, Tim, Pat, or a custom persona of your creation.

    After you have selected the persona, the description of the selected persona you selected will appear to the right.

    If you selected a custom persona, navigate to http://gendermag.org/custom_persona.php and design your custom persona using an online or PDF form. Your custom persona's facets and characteristics will be listed on these forms instead of in the GenderMag extension.

    If you want to change the persona or team name, click edit on top of the tool.

  5. Provide the scenario that your persona will be performing in the text box and click submit.

  6. Enter a subgoal and click 'enter subgoal'.

  7. Answer Yes, No, or Maybe to describe if the persona would have formed this subgoal as a step to their overall goal. In the text box, explain why, why not, or why maybe. On the right of that text box, select all the checkboxes corresponding to the facets that were used to answer the previous question. Then click save and continue.

  8. Enter an action that pertains to this subgoal.

  9. Click on the 'click here' button to take a screen capture of ideal action. Move the rectangular box around your box to the action that you want to focus on and hit the left click. This will create a screen capture of ideal action. If you want to add more info to the capture click on the draw on the image button and annotate the image. If the image looks okay, click 'save and continue'.

  10. Answer: Yes, No, or Maybe for, will the persona know what to do at this step, and in the text box under it explain why, why not, or why maybe? On the right of that textbox select all the checkboxes against the facets that were used to answer the previous question.

  11. Perform the action you indicated previously in step 9 and click on the 'click here' link to continue.

  12. Answer: Yes, No, or Maybe for, if the persona did the right thing will she know that they did the right thing, and is making progress towards the goal and in the textbox under it explain why, why not, or why maybe? On the right of that textbox select all the checkboxes against the facets that were used to answer the previous question. Click 'save and continue' when ready.

  13. If your persona needs another action to complete the current subgoal, enter the new action in the top text box and click 'add another action'. Return to (9) and complete all subsequent steps.

  14. If the subgoal is complete, but another subgoal is needed to complete the scenario, enter the subgoal in the bottom text box and click 'create new subgoal'. Return to (7) and complete all subsequent steps.

  15. If the scenario has been completed, click 'download and end my GenderMag session'. This will take you to another page and download a zip file with your session's information.

  16. If the zip file was not downloaded click Re-Download zip file. Otherwise, check the box next to the disclaimer saying that the file was downloaded and hit "Quit GenderMag". This will reload the page and close the tool.

See the video at http://gendermag.org for examples of what running the tool looks like.

FAQ’s:

Note: If you have questions you would like us to answer, please let us know by filing an issue asking the question!

  1. How to install GenderMag Recorder’s Assistant (chrome extension):

Instructions here

  1. Technologies used in the project:

    HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

  2. Why should GenderMag be used?

    Gender biases within software indirectly discourage people of marginalized genders from engaging with technology. Software that isn't inclusive for all genders loses out on an enormous market of paying consumers and potential technological contributors. By addressing these gender biases, GenderMag helps improve software experiences for end-users of any genders. Visit http://gendermag.org/index.php for more information.

  3. When should GenderMag be used?

    GenderMag should be used during the process of designing user interfaces. It can also be used to evaluate the inclusivity of existing software.

  4. Who should use the GenderMag Tool?

    The GenderMag tool's primary audience is software practitioners and usability professionals (e.g., developers, managers, UX professionals).

  5. What is the output file created by the GenderMag Tool?

    The output file has two forms. The 'old' format is optimized for graphing or using a computer to parse the information from your GenderMag session. The 'new' format is optimized for reading the results of the GM session. Both types are CSV files and contain all the answers submitted during the use of the tool.

  6. What do you mean by subgoal, scenario, action, and other terms used throughout GenderMag?

    Scenario/Use Case: the hypothetical situation you are walking through and evaluating (e.g., Abi wants to find a science fiction book)

    Subgoal: what the developer or designer hopes the user is thinking of doing next (e.g., see bookstore map)

    Action: what the persona needs to do to meet a subgoal (e.g., click on "browse off") Visit http://gendermag.org/gendermag.php for more information.

  7. How can I contribute to this project?

    Please see the contributing guidelines here.
