Unit 5 Assignment

Outcomes addressed in this activity:

Unit Outcomes:

 Describe design principles

 Analyze the ethical considerations related to human-computer interaction  Apply design principles to improvement of a user interface

Course Outcome:

IT302-3: Apply design guidelines to human-computer interaction methods.

Assignment Instructions and Requirements:

For this assignment and those in several subsequent units, you will develop a new interface design. Check the reading for a list of authorized devices/interfaces; if you wish to develop one that is not on the list, you need pre-approval from your professor. This week, write a paper in which you provide the following information:

Part 1. Design Choice and Wireframe

In a paragraph, briefly explain the device/interface you have chosen and the main features you intend to include. Then provide a sufficiently-detailed and labeled wireframe, imported into your Word document. You might like to use some of the same processes that you employed in the unit 3 and 4 assignments to help you develop this new plan.

Part 2. Report of Design Principles

Create a report that explains how design principles relate to your emerging design presented in part 1 of this assignment. (Consider this a defense of your design proposal.) Include comments regarding each of the following, writing in full sentences and providing a separate paragraph for each numbered section:

2

1. Comprehensibility and Learnability

2. Effectiveness/Usefulness

 Utility

 Safety

 Flexibility

 Stability

3. Efficiency/Usability

 Simplicity

 Memorability

 Predictability

 Visibility

4. Grouping

 Gestalt Principles of Perception

You may also include comments about Stimulus Intensity, Proportion, Screen Complexity, and Resolution, but the items listed above are required. Write everything in your own words, but if you use any resources, make sure you properly cite in the body of the paper and provide a reference entry.

Part 3. Ethical Considerations

Examine the user interface that you are designing in terms of ethical considerations that might need to be addressed. These could include but are not limited to issues of intellectual property rights, accessibility for those with disabilities, etc. Research ethical considerations on the Web, and reference at least two appropriate sources to support your comments about how you might address these issues in your design. This section should be at least one full page in length.

Notes:

 Your paper should show an understanding of the textbook reading and other sources.

 Submit your work as a Word document - import the wireframe design into the same document.

 Include a properly-formatted cover page.

 The paper's body must use 10- or 12-size Times New Roman or Arial font and meet other APA formatting requirements.

 Use sources that are appropriate for university work.

 Cite your sources within the body of the paper and provide a list of references at the end in a separate References page. In-text citations and references should be properly formatted according to APA guidelines.

 Use subheadings for each part of the paper so that your professor clearly sees where each of the three parts begins.

 Ensure that your work is not copied from any sources. Copying does not prove an understanding of the material, and plagiarism will not be tolerated.

 An Abstract page and Table of Contents are not required.

Written work should be free of spelling, grammar, and APA errors. Points deducted from

the grade for each writing, spelling, or grammar error are at your instructor’s discretion.

Please be sure to download the file "Writing Center Resources" from Doc Sharing to

assist you with meeting APA expectations.
