Q

to employ interfaces that give
continuous reminders of important information and
thereby refresh the user’s memory

A

Remind Users and Refresh their Memory.

30
Q

often based on the UI toolkit which provides the
abstraction for the interface parts

A

Model, View, and Controller or MVC Architecture

31
Q

an essential step in HCI design the results of the ______________ will be reflected back to the requirements and
this could identify additional UI requirements or the
functional or non-functional

A

User Analysis

32
Q
  • any software design starts with a carefool analysis of
    the functional requirements for interactive software with
    a focus on the user experience we take a particular look
    at the functions that are to be activated directly by the
    user through interaction
A

Requirements Analysis

33
Q

the UI layer refers to a set of software that operates
above the core operating system or underneath the
application

A

Design

34
Q

once in place a ______ of the application tends to be
stable and unchanging

A

Model

35
Q

an experienced and humble HCI designer will at least
try to leverage the best knowledge available from
cognitive psychology ergonomics and anthropomorphic
data to assess the capabilities and characteristics of the
target user group when a direct field study is not feasible

A

“Know Thy User”.

36
Q

understanding the UI layer and its execution
framework

A

Design

37
Q

document guides the ergonomics aspects of
HCI designs, with topics covering visual display, physical
input devices, workplace/environment ergonomics. And tactile/haptic interactions

A

e International Organization for Standardization

38
Q

identifying the application test structure and the
sequential relationships between the different elements
with a crude test model

A

Scenario and Task Modeling

39
Q

class of interaction modeling

A

Scenario and Task Modeling

40
Q

uses the underlying UI execution framework or
operating system to achieve this purpose or while the
view is mostly independent from the operating system or
platform

A

Controller

41
Q

development framework refers to a modular approach
for interactive program development

A

Model, View, and Controller or MVC Architecture

42
Q

Some ways of conveying the status of a system are through the use of:

A
  • dynamic icons
  • animations
  • spoken messages, using various kinds of voices,
    telling the user what needs to be done
  • various sounds indicating actions and events
43
Q

equally important to user analysis is task analysis and
modeling

implementation for output and presentation of data in
modern GUI base interfaces

A

view

46
Q

generally difficult mainly because it is a multi-objective task that involves
simultaneous consideration of many things

is in everyday use and yet given quite specific and
different meanings by particular groups of people

A

Design

52
Q

for each of the sub-tests and scenes in the storyboard
particularly software interface components it is very important that we try to adhere the HCI
principles guidelines and theories to justify and prioritize
our decision

A

53
Q

consists of graphic illustrations organized in
sequence and is often used to pre-visualize motion
picture animation and interactive experiences

A
  • Storyboard
54
Q

boils down to identifying the sequence and structure of
subtasks at an abstraction level appropriate for the
typical user within the larger application context

general fundamental and
commonsensical applicable to almost any HCI design
situation

again, one can regard this simply as an iterative process
to refine the original wrap requirements through the
process of storyboarding a visual profile of the interface
can be sketched

A

58
Q

Humans are certainly more efficient in carrying out
tasks that require less memory burden, long or short
term.

A

Reduce Memory Load.

59
Q

Recommended Software UX Tools

  • Analytics Software
  • Text Editor
  • Standard Office Software
60
Q

Principles of Effective Design

A

Know thy user
Understand the task
Reduce Memory Load
Strive for consistency
Remind Users and Refresh their Memory
Prevent Errors/ Reversal of Actions
Naturalness

61
Q

social beings so it is important that the
approaches and techniques adapted and the social
sciences are used to understand people and technologies

A

People

62
Q

s used to denote groups of people who have shared interests and values and engage in similar
activities

A

Activities and Contexts

63
Q

the human memory dissipates information quite
quickly and this is especially true when switching tests in
multi-tasking situations which is a very prevalent form of
interaction these days

A

Remind Users and Refresh their Memory.

64
Q

refers to producing an
emotional response

A

affective Interfaces

65
Q

tend to be more specific

A
