HCI Assignment: Cognitive Walkthrough and Usable User Interfaces, Assignments of Computer Science

This assignment focuses on human-computer interaction (hci) principles, specifically exploring the cognitive walkthrough method for evaluating user interface design and the benefits of user-centered design. It presents two questions: the first requires students to apply the cognitive walkthrough method to a prototype of an activity monitoring app, while the second asks them to argue in favor of usable user interfaces. This assignment provides a practical application of hci concepts and encourages students to consider the importance of user-centered design in software development.

ASSIGNMENT
1. Discuss how you would conduct a cognitive walkthrough of the GUI using a fully-functional
prototype of the activity monitoring app. (5 Marks)
2. Traditionally ,system-centered design where emphasis was on the functionality and correctness
of the software rather than on ease of use was the approach preferred in the design of systems.
Today, user-centered design where emphasis is on end-user tasks with an aim of developing
usable user interfaces is the prefereed approach.Briefly argue in support/benefits of usable user
interfaces. (5 Marks)
