CLO1: Use appropriate design and evaluation techniques required in the development of usable interfaces.
(P4, PLO3)
CLO2: Evaluate the impact of good and bad interfaces on the usability of applications and the stakeholders.
(C4, PLO2)
1) Assignment Objective:
-Learn the HCI design process.
2) Assignment Mode:
- Group assignment.
3) Assignment Tasks:
Select a computer system with software interface, and develop a prototype.
Week Tasks/Acitivities
• Each group proposed a computer system with software interface and get approval from
your tutor.
W4 • Task analysis with Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA),Scenario of current task, Environment
analysis
W10 • Heuristic Evaluation [Refer to Appendix D] & Usability Testing [Refer to Appendix F
===================================APPENDIX A===================================
Appendix A : Proposal (20%) -CLO1
Proposal should included all of the following parts:
- Choose and justify the usability goals which you consider to be the important goals for your
system.
- List your references at this part, and use at least 1 academic reference in this report.
-
===================================APPENDIX B===================================
Appendix B: Analysis Report (20%)-CLO1
Analysis Report should included all of the following parts:
** Do not write about your system design, it does not exist at this analysis stage.
===================================APPENDIX C===================================
Appendix C: Design & Prototyping Report (30%)- CLO1
Design & Prototyping Report should included all of the following parts:
- Storyboard.
- Screen shot of your high delity prototype to show your user interface design (10 marks).
- Explain your design decisions from the aspects of : user needs, usability goals and cognitive
issues. (10 marks)
** This part requires reasoning behind your design decisions. Explanation of design decision
without any reasoning will not given any mark.

During testing:
• Hand out test task one at a time to the tester
• Remember to ask the tester to “think aloud”
• Observe the tester interacting with your prototype. Let the tester perform his/her tasks
independently.
• Observe the tester all the time during testing and record problems faced by the tester (E.g. long
paused, excessive eyes movement, thinking, sighing, annoying, etc)
