Background
The HMH marketing team creates a product website to introduce teachers to a new program. Teachers will then evaluate and recommend purchasing the program for the school or district.
The study is to validate the positive experience offered to help customers effectively evaluate HMH programs.
Goals:
• Assess if the choose-your-own-adventure, offering is a more effective path than a prescribed, linear path
• Ensure we're using the correct terminology for customers so they can effectively identify and access the resources in order to evaluate the program.
