Chapter 1:Usability of Interactive SystemsDiscussion Topics withAnswers1.Devise an outline, consistent with the scientific method, which interfaceresearchers should follow to validate their designs.Following the scientific method closely works very well in usability studies.Identify a “control”, formulate a hypothesis, test for hypothesis being true orfalse, etc. is an ideal model for interface researchers.2.List some characteristics of successful user interface designers with respect totheir approach to solving UI problems–Successful UI designers go beyond vague notions of “user friendliness”,“intuitive”, and “natural” doing more than simply making checklists ofsubjective guidelines.–They have a thorough understanding of the diverse community of usersand the tasks that must be accomplished.–They study evidence-based guidelines and pursue the research literaturewhen necessary.–They aredeeply committed to enhancing the user experience, whichstrengthens their resolve when they face difficult choices, time pressures,and tight budgets–Are aware of the importance of eliciting emotional responses, attractingattention with animations, and playfully surprising users3.As noted in the book, some skeptics feel that accommodating diversity requiresdumbing-down or lowest-common-denominator strategies. However, theauthors claim that in their experience, rethinking interface designs toaccommodate these diversity situations will result in a better product for allusers. Give an example of a product that meets the specific needs of a certaingroup of people, yet gives all users a better experience.One answer could be Automated Teller Machines(ATM)seen in ethnicallydiverse neighborhoods, allowing the user to select the language beforecontinuing to interact with the machine.Chapter 6 goes into detail via a CaseStudy on ATM design.4.List several reasons why certain people resist using computers and suggestpossible ways to you can alleviate these concerns.One could argue that a major limitation is the complexity of the interfacescombined with small screens and fonts. Many persons are just not able tocomfortable select a tiny item from a drop down list with a mouse, and, tomany, that still is a difficult concept to grasp: to hold the mouse button downwhen selecting an item as well as knowing when to release the button is a bitcomplex to the novice.Solutions could be touch-screen (mouse-less) designswith large fontsizes.
