Presentation Transcript

  1. Semester wrap-up …the review.

  2. Course ReCap • To make you notice interfaces, good and bad • You’ll never look at doors the same way again • To help you realize no one gets an interface right on the first try • Yes, even the experts • Design is HARD • To teach you tools and techniques to help you iteratively improve your designs • Because you can eventually get it right

  3. The Final • Wednesday, May 6: 3:00 – 6:00 pm • Closed book, one page of notes • Front, back, written, typed, nothing overlapping and no magnifying glasses • Cumulative • Similar format and ~50% longer than midterm

  4. DOET Review • What are Norman’s principles? • Affordance, mapping, feedback, etc. • What are they? Why needed? • Execution-evaluation cycle • Steps of cycle, what helps reduce gulfs? • Errors • Perceptual, cognitive, motor • Mistake vs. slip • Error prevention and recovery guidelines

  5. Design • Design Principles • Know what each means, be able to remember a few and use them • Web design – unique qualities of Web and impact on design, principles • Visual Design • Form follows function • Graphic design principles? • Clarity, proximity, alignment, etc.

  6. Exam topics, cont. • Evaluation • Characteristics of evaluation techniques • Predictive – Fitt’s, KSLM • What are techniques? • When to use which techniques? • Advice, guidelines for using techniques • Comparisons between techniques • How to analyze the data from the different techniques

  7. More topics • Some examples: • Advantages and disadvantages of interview, vs. questionnaire vs. observation • Compare/contrast think aloud vs. cooperative evaluation • What makes up an experiment? • Dependent, independent, controlled variables • Between or within subjects • Differences between a heuristic eval and a cooperative walkthrough?

  8. Final topics • Groupware • Classification matrix • Challenges in building and evaluating • Ubicomp • What are examples? • What are challenges?

  9. Norman’s principles example • Percent-done indicator follows which of Norman’s design principles? • An affordance helps reduce which of Norman’s gulfs? Why? • What is a slip? Give me an example…

  10. Experiment example You think a touch screen keyboard would be better than a hardware keyboard for a mobile phone. You design an experiment to test this, having participants use one interface or the other, but not both. • True or false: type of keyboard is a dependent variable • True or false: this is within-subjects • What could be independent variables? Would you want to control any variables?

  11. Predictive Evaluation • Why use Fitt’s or KSLM? • What are limitations? • Consider a pie menu: • What would Fitt’s say about average time to choose an item as compared to standard pop-up? • What would KLM say about it?
