Better data Written record of subject insights Development of mature perspective True involvement in the data All of the answers except for E) None of the above TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 Studies involve human subjects to test or develop devices, products, or materials that have been developed to research for human use (A) Studies using private information that can be readily identified with individuals, even if the information is not collected specifically for the study in question. (C) TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 Exempt review (A) Expedited review (C) Full board review (E) TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 Work modeling (A) Interviewing (C) Consolidation (D) TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 (E): Discover, develop, design, measure
(B): Ivan Sutherland TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 (A): The public health service Tuskegee study of untreated syphilis in the Negro male TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 (A): Reviewing subject recruitment materials and strategies(B): Assuring that all applicable institutional policies and federal regulations related to researching with human subjects are followed(C): Protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 (A): Deception TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 (A): Distributed cognition
Quantitative: hard numerical data of a variable; measuring out 1000mL of a solutionQualitative: data that can't be given hard numerical data of a variable; the color of the same solution TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 QuantitativePros: gives us crisp numerical data that can be easily presented and summarizedCons: doesn't give us a full answer; how do we know what questions we're trying to answer?QualitativePros: Gives us full, rich answers about people and phenomenonCons: This data can be extremely hard to capture TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 C - Context; understand the work in the context of the user's environmentP - Partnership; work with the subject to understand their workI - Interpretation; understand why subjects do things the way they do "there is no 'wrong' way to do something"F - Focus; understand the fine points of what the user is doing TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 The gulf of execution is the difference between the intentions of the users and what the system allows them to do.The gulf of evaluation is the difficulty of assessing the state of the system and how well the artifact supports the discovery and interpretation of that state. TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 Seriously learn this Affordance Mapping Constraints Visibility/Feedback Consistency Metaphors
Taking advantage of affordances and constraints. Use popularly accepted mechanics (affordance) and commonly used conventions (constraints). TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 Taking pre-existing design elements that are commonly used and accepted in other applications, and implementing them into the design of your own interface. TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 "Quick and dirty"; quick feedback but not the most useful Usability testing; good quantitative data, but significant start-up costs Field studies/naturalistic studies; a "true" real-world test of a system, but requires fully functional system and data does not often reduce to quantitative measures Analytical evaluations; no functional system or subjects needed, but lacks context of real-world situations TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 You write a paragraph describing the current system in place; what works about the system and where are the breakdowns? Then write a paragraph (without implementation or design details) describing a new system that would replace the old one. How would it fix the problems and measure what works. TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 Breakdowns, what works, how you will fix, how you will measure
(A): Transforms us from mere viewers to analytical observers(B): Helps us understand work practices at a much deeper level(C): Reveals workarounds and habits people forget(D): Leads to quantification of the phenomena TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 (A): Serves the purpose of allowing us to manage complexity of the data(B): Allows themes to emerge from the data(C): Externalizes the data so that it is collectively owned(D): Breaks the initial ethnographic process of seeing data "in the small" All of the above TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 (C): Contextual inquiry TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 Horizontal: broad overview of a systemVertical: Detailed rendition of one small part of a systemLow-fidelity: extremely coarse approximation of system using common physical materialsHigh-fidelity: systems nearly identical to the proposed production version
