Interface   For more classes visit www.snaptutoria
l.com   Week 1 Discussion 1 "Creating an
Interface Please respond to the
following            Imagine you are managing a
design project that will create an interface for
automobile mechanics. The interface would be used
by the mechanics to look up various fixes and
parts for any number of makes or models of
automobiles that may come through their garage.
Decide what usability measures would be most
motivating when designing this interface and
describe the unique challenges you would have to
plan for when designing an interface for an
automotive repair shop. Use supporting evidence
to support your response.

Discussion 2 Early computers were only usable by
experts with strong technical knowledge. Examine
how interactive systems have changed throughout
the years to accommodate average users and
describe two advantages and two disadvantages
associated with these changes.   From the
e-Activity, examine the two articles you selected
on universal usability and discuss one topic of
interest that was addressed.

Study 1 User Interfaces Due Week 2 and worth 90
points Early user interfaces were designed with
little or no consideration for the end user. This
was largely due to technical and hardware
limitations. The poor interface design required a
specific skill set for users and limited the mass
appeal of computers. Modern interfaces are much
more user friendly. Theo Mandel wrote about the
five (5) golden rules of interface design. Read

Guidelines" Please respond to the
following Imagine you are leading a team of
designers for a new software product. During the
kickoff meeting, the team starts to discuss
design guidelines. About half of the team
complains that guidelines can be too specific,
incomplete, hard to apply, and sometimes wrong.
The other half feels that building on experience
from design leaders contributes to steady
improvements. Take a stance on this debate and
support your position. Then discuss how you would
solve this conflict to get your meeting back on
track.

Theories" Please respond to the
following Imagine you are the manager of a
medium-sized IT department. While walking through
the hall one day, you overhear a senior-level
software developer telling a newly hired
developer to focus on improving his coding skills
rather than learning about theories related to
human-computer interaction. Take a position on
whether you agree or disagree with the senior
software developer. Support your decision.

needs of a diverse population can be incredibly
difficult. Research the best practices for
developing a universally usable interface, as

Ballots   For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.
com   "Electronic Ballots" Please respond to the
following   One criticism of electronic ballots
for elections is that while intuitive for younger
voters who are familiar with using a mouse to
point and click, elderly voters and
motor-impaired users will have difficulty
controlling a mouse. Discuss how you would
correct this issue so that every demographic
would have an equal opportunity to vote. Support
your answer.

the following   Evaluate interface design models
and describe design issues across human-computer
interaction environments associated with these
models. Support your response.   Building an
interface can be broken down into the phases of
design and development. Analyze the activities
that take place in both phases, and explain why
certain activities should be included in design
but not in development.

Study 2 Design Process Due Week 4 and worth 90
points You have recently started your own
software design company. You discover that your
local DMV is looking to build a system that will
allow receptionists to check customers in
quickly. They would like for the system to allow
customers to self-check-in during busy times, but
have receptionists check customers in the rest of
the time. Your company puts a bid in for the
project and wins. Read the article located

following Your software development company has
been contracted to build a tool that will manage
user accounts and rights in an Active Directory
environment. One of your developers tells you
that he wants the tool to make use of direct
manipulation. A second developer argues that a
command line structure would be a better and more
secure approach.  Take a stand on this argument,
providing at least three positives of each
approach, and then make a decision for this
project and support it.

respond to the following The president of your
company approached you with his iPhone in one
hand and his iPad in the other. He has just
purchased the iPhone 4S and is fascinated with
Siri, the voice recognition software. He then
pulls up an app your team developed for the
company a few months ago and tells you that he
wants it to work with voice commands just like
Siri.  When you pass this information on to your
team, the news is met with groans and angry
expressions. One of your developers tells you
that it would be way too complicated to add voice
recognition into the app and that you should have
said no. Suggest three techniques to overcome the
challenges of implementing natural language into
interface designs.

3 Security Due Week 7 and worth 100 points A
large, fast-food chain unveiled a new touch
screen register for its franchises. Each cashier
was assigned a user id and password combination
to log in to the register. The system allowed the
incorrect password to be entered four (4) times
before the register would lock and require a
manager to unlock it with a key card. To prevent
unauthorized access, the registers would lock
after three (3) minutes if the screen was not
touched. When the register locked, only the
cashier who was logged in prior to it locking
could unlock it without a system restart.
