Assignment 2
Design Review Report
Due: Week 9
Word Count: 1500 words +/-10%
Individual Work
This assignment is designed to test whether you can analyse a particular human-computer interaction.
Your task is to:
1) Worth: 1% ? Choose one type from the list of human-interaction examples. For that type choose a particular make and model (or, in the case of software, name and version). Each student in the semester cohort will select a different example. This will be on a first come first served basis. You may suggest an interaction. However this alternative must be approved by the lecturer, to ensure that your selection has not been already taken, before you begin this assignment. Note that your choice of interaction from the example will need to be approved by the lecturer. This must be in the form of a email acknowledgement from the lecturer that your technology has been approved. This approval must be noted in the submitted report and which must contain at least:
a) Your name and student Id,
b) Your tutor?s name and tutorial day and time,
c) The name of the technology, and
d) The interactions. Describing them in the same way as in the first piece of assessment, Interaction Recognition Report.
Email scott.ashwin@act.gov.au with your selection.
2) Worth: 10% ? Analyse the interactions from your chosen example using whichever reference material you deem useful. Where this analysis method is not in the prescribed text you will need to contrast your choice with the text methods highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each method.
3) Worth: 2% ? Write a report describing the quality and extent of the interactions. Use whichever analysis methodology you chose in the previous section, explaining, in detail, the strong and weak points of each interaction from the point of view of each of those involved in the interaction. Ie. How
is the interaction good for the computer, how is the interaction good for the human?
4) Worth: 2% ? Write a bibliography. You must state the citation method you chose (eg Vancouver, Chicago, Harvard, APA, IEEE, etc.) and give an indicative example. The university standard is acceptable.
Marking Criteria Questions
1) Choice ? Is the chosen example and interaction suitable? Is it complex? Does it contain enough interplay between humans and computers to warrant examination? Is the chosen analysis methodology suitable for this example?
2) Description ? Is the example adequately described?
3) Analysis ? Does the analysis follow the chosen methodology? Does the analysis reveal the strengths and weakness of the chosen interaction example?
4) Scholarship ? Are citations appropriate and sufficient? Is the bibliography style appropriate and adequate? Are the references in the bibliography correctly represented?
Please note that this is an initial analysis. Work on the high level details first. If you have room, than start on the lower level issues.
New Interaction Project Report
Due: Week 14
Word Count: Minimum 2000 words
Individual Work
This assignment is designed to test whether you can, for the piece of technology you selected for your design review report, analyse, evaluate, and recommend improvements to its human-computer interactions.
Your task is to:
1) Worth: 2% ? Analyse the interactions using whichever reference material you deem useful.
2) Worth: 10% ? Evaluate the quality of the interactions using whichever reference material you deem useful.
3) Worth: 7% ? Recommend changes to the interactions using whichever reference material you deem useful to justify your choices.
4) Worth: 20% ? Write a report describing the quality and extent of the existing interactions as well as the quality and extent of your recommended changes. Use whichever analysis methodology you chose in the previous section, explaining, in detail, the strengths and weaknesses of your recommended changes.
5) Worth: 1% ? Write a bibliography. You must state the citation method you chose (eg Vancouver, Chicago, Harvard, APA, IEEE, etc.) and give an indicative example.
