ASL-SUS: The ASL Translation of the System Usability Scale

The following videos are the "introduction message" and the ten "questions" from the ASL-SUS: The ASL Translation of the System Usability Scale.

Videos

The first video was played at the beginning of the ASL-SUS, it provides instructions and explains the Likert-type response scale. The remaining videos were played one at a time, and the participant marked their answer to each question on a paper answer sheet.

Paper Answer Sheet

The PDF file below was the paper answer sheet that participants used to mark their response to each question.

ASL Translation of the Adjective Scale

The following video and PDF were used in our study to present the Adjective Scale, which had been created in this study: Bangor, A., Miller., J., Kortum, P. 2009. Determining what individual SUS scores mean: adding an adjective rating scale. Journal of Usability Studies 4(3), 114-123.

Videos

This video explained the instructions and presented the single question from the Adjective Scale. The participant marked their answer on a paper answer sheet.
