This is my second Task in the GHOPC, and I have chosen another Usability Testing task, but through the BackEnd Management.
Introduce at least 3 new end users to the Joomla! Back end for Managers and write a report on what happens.
Although, I was just wondering, would it be better to format it a different way, rather than just use the same formatting as the other usability test? It may make it more interesting.Introduce at least 3 new end users to the Joomla! Back end for Managers
