Desktop metaphor
Name the metaphor of Human Computer Interaction:
____________ is the metaphor in which data is visually represented as paper pages or
forms/
Document Metaphor
Name the metaphor of Human Computer Interaction:
____________ is the metaphor in which user and computer accomplish a task by engaging in a conversation or dialog via text, voice, or tools such as labeled buttons.
Dialog metaphor

False, it is Document Metaphor.
T/F: The user clicks a button labeled “troubleshoot” because the printer isn’t working. The computer prints questions on the display, and the user
responds by typing answers or selecting
responses from a printed list. This is an example of Dialog Metpahor

________ is a principle of User-Interface design, which provides closure on dialogues, protect user’s work, and undo to reverse actions.
Closure
T/F: Closure protects user’s work at the end and for partially complete work.
True.
T/F: Closure on dialogues means an end of a series of actions.
True.
__________ is another principle of User-Interface Design in which the text must be readable for all users (type, size, color).
Readability
__________ is a principle of User-interface Design, in which there must be clear navigation, and reverse navigation.

T/F: Reverse navigation is achieved by making a way in through breadcrumbs navigation.
False, a way out not in.
__________ and __________ are principles of User-Interface Design in which there are shortcut keys for experienced users and meaningful error messages, achieving simplicity - KISS.
Usability and Efficiency
_________ are a typical way to organize access to use case functionality.
Menus
T/F: Different types of users might have different menus.
True
T/F: When transitioning from Analysis to UI Design, it is useful to design an overall menu hierarchy and
then subsets for different users.
True.
T/F: Once the Menu hierarchy is established, menus can only be
implemented in a single way.
False, in a variety of ways.
____________ is to create a storyboard of the dialog, showing the
