Q

Benefits of auditory and tactile display

A

(1) when visual modality is occupied or very busy, auditory and tactile information will utilize the other modalities to convey information
(2) you may neglect to see it, but it is hard to neglect to hear it
(3) in some circumstances, it is more natural than visual display (e.g. the departure warning example)

How to evaluate and test?

A

usability evaluation methods, usability testing methods

78
Q

usability evaluation methods

A

(1) cognitive walkthrough
(2) think aloud method
(3) cooperative evaluation
(4) checklist

79
Q

4 questions for cognitive walkthrough

A

(1) do users have a goal in mind
(2) do users notice that there are cues to complete their goals?
(3) can users link the correct cue with their goal?
(4) if users perform a correct/wrong action, do they get feedback?

80
Q

4 notes for cognitive walkthrough

A

(1) take the perspective from users
(2) consistent with design principles
(3) very easy to use and no subjects needed
(4) can only find 40% of usability problems

81
Q

3 notes for think aloud method

A

(1) one of the most effective ways to explore users’ real-time thoughts
(2) only use small amount of subjects
(3) subjects “say while doing”

82
Q

pos/neg for think aloud

A

+: discover what’s going on in users’ minds

-: intrusive, difficult to conduct for large number of subjects

83
Q

3 notes for cooperative evaluation

A

(1) need a small number of subjects/users
(2) an experimenter and subject/user cooperatively explore the UI and complete several tasks
(3) subject/user think aloud during the process

84
Q

cooperative evaluation pos/neg

A

+: very natural way to find usability problems

-: users’ verbal response and behavior might be affected by experimenter, only a few subjects

85
Q

QUIS

A
  • questionnaire for user interface satisfaction
  • developed by Chin et al.
  • can be used either by designers or users
  • a detailed implementation of design principles
  • categorized evaluation
  • not only usability, but some perception of hardware issues
86
Q

QUIS pos/neg

A

+: quick and easy

-: sometimes not able to provide specific design suggestions

87
Q

SUMI

A
  • Software Usability Measurement Inventory
  • developed by Kirakowski
  • mainly for software
88
Q

SUMI pos/neg

A

+ easy and relatively quick, free

-: for software only, has only 3 choices, no room for open-ended comments

89
Q

Usability testing - two major ways

A

(1) test UI prototypes without formal experimental design (identify usability problems, improve the interface design quickly
(2) Test UI prototypes with formal experiment design (find optimal design, benchmark/products, comparisons, etc

90
Q

Steps to testing UI prototypes without formal experimental design

A

(1) build prototypes
(2) design tasks
(3) invite a few potential or target users
(4) ask users to carry out these tasks (either with or without thinking aloud)
(5) recording all actions and verbal activities
(6) simple analysis of the results

91
Q

Without experimental design - pos/neg

A

+: quick and natural
-: do not know the exact causal relationship among variables with enough data support, cannot formally use results in publications, test reports, etc.

92
Q

With experimental design - pos/neg

A

+: relatively clean causal relationship, formal usage of the data
-: designing and running experiment is time consuming

93
Q

Independent variables

A

variables manipulated by the researcher or usability experts

94
Q

Dependent variables

A

variables observed by the researcher or usability experts

95
Q

One of the keys of a successful design

96
Q

Within subjects design

levels of certain variables only experienced by some of subjects/users

98
Q

Why number of subjects is an important issue

A

determines validity and how strong your conclusion is

99
Q

Equation for number of subjects

A

NX where N is a natural number and X is combinations of all between subjects variables
OR can be calculated by estimated variability of data

100
Q
