Part 1: Discussion Questions
-
Consulting the
modified/enhanced
UID process we discussed in class,
outline the UI evaluation activities that can be performed
before system implementation,
and discuss the importance of these activities in refining/improving
UI designs and design prototypes.
-
Discuss the similarities and differences between UCD and PD.
Choose two I.S. (interaction styles),
and discuss how UCD and/or PD can be used in designing/implementing
UI in each of these individual I.S.
-
Compare the relative advantages and disadvantages between expert review
and usability testing.
In addition, compare the usability metrics that can be used for/during
these activities and
the data required to measure usability using such metrics.
Part 2: UI Design and Evaluation
You may choose to work with the system you selected for hw#1 before,
or pick a different system.
Now perform the following for this system:
-
Design a usability testing strategy
to test/ensure the usability of this system
-
Define your usability metrics.
-
