Tutorial 5 - Key Assignmnet Plan

Option 1 Report: Usability Evaluation of a Mobile Device or Devices.

  • Write a report on usability of a Phone or MP3 player
  • Methods I shall use, qualitative observations, quantitative questionnaire
  • Using the conceptual frameworks of usability-in-itself, user experience goals and Normans design principles
  • I’ll observe around 5 users of similar age groups
  • Using 1 device
  • Focus on the usability of the device on the whole if I use the mp3 player. Using the phone I shall select some of the key functions for usability in life such as texting, making calls and taking photos.

Things to include in a report:

  • Report structure: Contents

Introduction – A short statement of intent

Methodology - The method I used to test the pervasive device (references).

Results – Using graphs/images to illustrate findings(if possible)

Discussion - What the results mean to usability of the device and any improvements
