Accessibility or usability

                evaluating any usability of system is perfect, it provides users with adequate information about the origination. Since  Organizing Apprenticeship Project (OAP) works to advance racial, cultural, social and economic justice in Minnesota through organizer and leadership training, policy research and strategic convening work, having this evaluation system  help  the programs or systems designer  to see what has worked best and what has not worked in organization. OAP use social media as their primary tool to reach out to their internal and external customers. Have the system work ? I'm  going to  take a look at it to my perspective on their system:  I'm going to look the OAP system accessibility or usability , maintenance experience, effectiveness and  user experience. OAP has created a huge social media that are easy and straightforward for people to use.  I have been told and experienced that they use terms such as user friendly and easy to use.  overall technical term for them is usability which as; The extent to which at their service or environment  can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of use. I can say that OAP has seen their Effectiveness by the users achieve specific goals which I  think they have reached.  It is my believe that OAP has  long considered the  aspects  of usability , flexibility , and  maintenance experience  the evidence for that is that they reach their long term goal and most of their customers are not disappointed. They have the system to  the extent to which the system can accommodate changes desired by the user beyond those first specified; learn ability. furthermore , OAP  has considered usability which has emphasized objective measures of its components, such as percentage of tasks achieved for effectiveness and task completion times and error rates. usability has often focused on the removal of barriers or problems in Systems as the methodology for improving , and I think OAP has worked on this issue to develop the best system that are more useful, friendly , and effective for the users.

In the Thick of It

The Organizing Apprenticeship Project (OAP), which began twenty years ago as a program to increase the power of community organizing in Minnesota, has since evolved into a respected advocacy that remains a very relevant and current voice for racial equity.

One year ago, OAP played a role in defeating the Voter ID amendment during the 2012 election. This year, OAP is again in the thick of civic discourse as they advocate on numerous social issues relevant to racial equity.
