CSc280: User Interfaces

Goal: Carry-out an evaluation of your system and propose changes based on your results. Write-up and present your project design, development and evaluation efforts.

Action:

1. Make any changes to your protocol and prototype based on feedback on assignment 5. Remember, your prototype only need function well enough to run your study. If you are having trouble please come meet with me so we can discuss alternatives.

2. Execute your study and analyze the data collected. Draw any conclusions and propose design revisions based on the results.

5. Write-up a detailed description of the design, development and evaluation of your project (at most 12 pages). This document should contain details on all stages of the project. A reader unfamiliar with your project should understand the motivation for the project; how you came up with the idea; all the design activities you did; the artifacts you created along the way (include pictures!); the evaluation including questions, methods, results and conclusions; your proposed design revisions; and a discussion of how human values are reflected in or threatened by your project (conceptual and technical investigations of ethics).

6. Create a final presentation (at most 15 minutes) that includes a demo of your prototype and description of your design, development and evaluation. Similar to the write-up, the audience for your final presentations should understand the motivation for your project; how you came up with the idea; all the design activities you did; the artifacts you created along the way (include pictures!); the evaluation including questions, methods, results and conclusions; and your proposed design revisions. It is optional to discuss the ethics component of your project in the presentation.

NOTE: I STRONGLY encourage you to meet with me to discuss your results and final presentation.
