Lab Manual: Lab Assignment 1


Title: User requirements, UI requirements

Instruction for completion of this assignment

1. Submit the assignment in given template only.


2. Identify Product / System / User Interface: The product / system that you are going to
select should have moderate complexity having minimum 10 components on their user
interface. Eg. E-commerce websites, LMS (like Moodle, collpoll), Online learning tools
(MS team, Zoom, Google Meet etc.), user interfaces of ATM, Fridge, Washing machine,
TV, Mobile, Mobile Application etc.
3. The assignment needs to be performed in four stages as given below,

Students need to work on


Stage1: Identify and list the user of your system / product. Eg. If you are building LMS
(Learning Management System) like Moodle, for any institute then, users will be of four
categories like students, faculties, non-teaching faculties and admin.

Stage2: Conduction of user interview: In order to identify user requirements we have to


interact with users by conducting their interviews. The interviews are conducted based on the
questionnaires. The questionnaire has two sections: first is demographic information and next
section is questions related to your proposed user interface. The sample copy will be shared
with you or you can get many samples from the internet. There should be 10 to 20 questions
including separate questions for separate categories of users. Take the above example of
LMS (Moodle), which has four categories of users like students, faculties, non-teaching
faculties and admin, so there should be separate questions for students, faculties etc.
according to their requirements / needs. Take video and photographs of your interaction with
the user during user interviews.
According to your selected product / system and its users, students can take user
requirements by sharing questionnaires through “Google form”. For example, in the same
LSM, all categories of users' requirements can be taken through “Google form”. But if you
are developing some mobile applications for villagers / farmers then all users might not have
the facility to submit their responses/ requirements through “Google form”.
It is recommended that the student should go for face to face user interview
process.

Analysis of user responses: If your questions are of MCQ, then students can tabulate user
responses as per shown in Table1 in template. Else, discuss it in a paragraph of minimum 15
sentences.

Stage3: Discuss the outcome of user interview: Describe the outcome of user interview in
20 to 25 sentences, that is the mapping of identified user requirements with user interface
requirements. Students can tabulate this according to Table2 in template.

Stage4: Prepare User Personas: Personas are fictional characters, which you create based
upon your research in order to represent the different user types that might use your service,
product, site, or brand in a similar way. Creating personas will help you to understand your
users’ needs, experiences, behaviours and goals. It can help you to recognise that different
people have different needs and expectations, and it can also help you to identify with the
user you’re designing for. Personas can help you to achieve the goal of creating a good user
experience for your target user group [1,2,3].
The template for user personas is attached with this document.
