Assignment Overview

You are to complete one piece of intensive course work for the module HCI which is worth
70% of the module overall marks. The incourse work is to be completed as a piece of
cooperative and collaborative group work. You need to work in a team of 4 members, or in
exceptional cases, 3 members.

You are required to create an interactive application using any UX tools of your choice. Do
note that the purpose of this assignment focuses on the user interface and what goes into the
entire design process that will give it a certain look and feel. A fully functional system is not
expected to be produced.

However, some limited functionality (such as dummy output) is expected in order to

demonstrate the ability of the system. Database backend are not necessary.

The Learning Outcomes

This assignment is to test students’ achievements of the following:

1. Demonstrate the design rationale of the prototype in a group work (A3, PLO4)

2. Construct a small scale prototype using techniques in HCI to plan, investigate

and evaluate (C3, PLO2)

Part 1

At the initial stage of this project, the team members are to meet together and brainstorm for
this project. As a team, you are required to submit your proposal, which includes the
following requirements:

Proposal:
 Introduction
 Objective
 Problem statement
 Proposed solution
 First plan of workload distribution
 Gantt Chart (using MS Project)

Deliverable: You will be expected to ‘walk through’ your plan with a module tutor during
week 3 of the module you will need to make a 10-minutes appointment to do this, normally
during one of the usual timetabled slots.

Once this proposal is approved, and then you and your team can move on to the Part 2 of the
project where design, implementation, documentation and presentation will be scheduled.
Due Date: WEEK 3 Tutorial.

Part 2

Your team will work through the following usability engineering activities in developing the
User Interface of the proposed title above:

Usability Engineering Lifecycle Stage

Stage 1: User, Tasks & Environment  the stakeholder identification &
Analysis justification
 the selection of data gathering methods
& justification
 the data gathering execution
 the analysis & impact
 user profile table & requirement
 HTA & Impact
Stage 2: Usability goals, guidelines and  the selection of usability goals &
Competitive Analysis justifications
 the selection of appropriate guidelines
& map with the usability goals chosen
 complete competitive analysis (CA)
 impact of CA towards the proposed
design
Stage 3: Design & Prototype  Parallel Design
 Peer to peer Evaluation
 Participatory Design with Card Sorting
& Impact
 Justification of Strategy behind the
prototype.
Stage 4: Formative Evaluation  DECIDE framework
 Usability Testing Instruction Template
 Usability Testing Report
 Heuristic Evaluation & Impact

You are to implement the final design using a UX tool of your choice, conduct usability
testing on the design, present your findings and document the entire process.
Complete documentation must be produced to contain all the activities that the development
team went through in producing the system’s interface, as well as a signed workload
distribution matrix.

Throughout the development cycle, the team is required to submit a set of minutes and a
progress report every two weeks. This will be from the onset of the assignment and is to be
included as part of the documentation submission.

There will be a final presentation of final interface design in demonstrating the outcome of all
the above process taken.
