Presentation Transcript

  1. Interface Evaluation Models and techniques • GOMS analysis • Keystroke Level Model • Cognitive dimensions of notation • Hierarchy of design principles • Task analysis • Layout appropriateness • PIE model

  2. Interface Evaluation (2) Measurements • Time • Counts • Geometry • Satisfaction

  3. Layout Measures Assume widgets w1, w2, …, wn Examples where n = 1? n = 2? Assume tasks T1, T2, …, Tkwhere the tasks are represented as sequences of widget interactions Assume task frequencies f1, f2, …, fk Where should the widgets be placed?

  4. Example – Information Overlay • Virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel • With information overlay • Button placement? • Explaining GUEP?

  5. User Experience (UX) Extracted from a presentation by Ira Blossom • User Experience describes how a person feels when interacting with a system • Focus on UX of web sites. Or is it websites? • Capture overall reaction and response to details • Previously discussed web-based forms • Global layout: • One or two sidebars • One or two top bars

  6. UX (2) • Users hate (how do we know?) • Horizontal scrolling • Multi-colored text • Hard-to-read font due to design or size • Bad search engines • Advertisements, especially the in-line version • Confusing instructions

  7. UX (3) • Users appreciate: • For logins in an environment where there are many potential options, specify what information is needed • Email address used as the UserID • Previously defined UserID • User codes • Not having to make choices when • Consequences are unknown • No confirmation of results is provided

  8. More Appreciation • Consistent use of words • Avoid using synonyms in a different places for the same action. E.g. Submit/Send • Instructions or help pages or instructional videos for sites that provide services

  9. Contrasting Sites • The Houdini Museum • Steamtown • Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour • Electric City Trolley Museum

  10. Popular Sites Note differences in design: • dare.com • Yahoo • Craig's List • Pepsi • YouTube

  11. Musike Scoring System • Developed for menu-based systems • Modified for web pages • Works well in complex environments • Provides weighted sum of scores of individual factors • Each individual factor to be based on a measurable design principle

  12. Example -- AWSP Application of Web Site Principles • Evaluates web sites • Based on JakobNielsen’s design principles • Rewritten by Lea Taylor • Case Study
