Design Notebook Entry for E2
In the design notebook, include the following information in your writeup. For heuristic evaluation, include a screenshot of the completed worksheet from each evaluator, and describe at least 2-3 things you will improve in the final prototype based on what you learned from the heuristic evaluation. For cognitive evaluation, (1) record success and failure stories observed during the evaluation, (2) summarize the design suggestions from the evaluators, (3) describe at least 2-3 things you will improve in the final prototype based on what you learned.
PO2a-d: Create Final Products
Final Prototype (PO2a) and Demo Video (PO2b)
After the hi-fi prototype evaluation, spend some time improving/refining your high-fidelity prototype based on the feedback from the heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough. Ensure the final prototype is what you believe would help solve your target problem (see
Deliverable PO2a). After completing the updates, create a 3 min (max) video (
Deliverable PO2b) demonstrating your final product (i.e., high-fi prototype). Keep in mind that the video can be used for your final project presentation, so think about how it might integrate with the rest of the presentation. You should have supporting comments in the video to explain what is being shown. You can also describe your design process; for example, you can show your paper prototype briefly to illustrate the progression of the design. To see some examples of hi-fi prototype demo videos, visit the
CS449 Spring 2019 website (click on "Project"). Include a link to your interactive prototype (i.e., one that people can play with as if it is a real app) and a link to your demo video in the design notebook.
Final Presentation (PO2c)
For the final presentation, designate two people from your team to present. The presentation should be 6 min sharp and 4 slides max, with a brief discussion. See
Deliverable PO2c regarding the structure of the presentation. The presentation will be graded by the instructor or a randomly assigned TA (worth 20 points). Each student (including presenters) is required to attend 1 other presentation
of a team that belongs to a different lab section, and required to participate in discussion and provide informal feedback to the presenting team using this
Feedback Form (worth 5 points). Students can
sign up to attend another team's presentation using Calendly (see sign up links/instructions on Slack).
Your team must also post your slides on the #presentations Slack channel before your presentation.
Design Porfolio (PO2d)
Create an interactive website or a blog post that documents your entire design process. This is simply a polished and concise version of the design notebook. The design portfolio should be self-contained and of an appropriate content length, and include carefully chosen visuals (e.g., images of the artifacts from your design activities) to illustrate your points and your process. You can embed the demo video into the design portfolio as well. See
Deliverable PO2d for more details on the expected structure/content of the design portfolio. For inspiration of what design portfolio can look like, see these examples (
Ex1,
Ex2,
Ex3). Include a link to your design portfolio in the design notebook.
R2: CS649 Research Proposal
This final proposal report is 6 pages. Make sure that the feedback on the proposal draft has been adequately addressed in your final report. See
Deliverable R2 for more details on the expected structure/content of the research proposal.
EX1: Building an Annotated Bibliography through ChatGPT
Don't forget to initiate/complete your conversation with ChatGPT about user interfaces, user experience, human-computer interaction. Details about this exploration activity can be found under
Deliverable EX1.
