Individual Research Topic Outline:
Take an existing computer based item that you use often (can be a website, data entry system, electronic item, etc.) and evaluate, research, and access it according to the exercises/discussions we will complete in class. Create suggestions on how to make the “system” better. Indicate the current flaws, discuss why, and create a solution.
Below is the basic outline you should follow. See APA format using subsections and Manuscripts – Publication Manual 6th Edition (page 25)

Method - Describe in detail how the study was conducted.
Anatomy/Description - Identify the elements of the system: input, output, and any other anatomy that help describe the system/item.
Issues/Flaws - Indicate the current flaws and discuss why they are flaws.
Paradigms - Identify past paradigms related to your items that will help with your solution.
Discussion - Describe your solution to the problem and state why. Include in the discussion the identification of stakeholders. The last paragraph should be your conclusion.
