Synthesize HCI and information systems research literature effectively. Integrate effectively the current and recognized HCI literature, including papers from SIGCHI conference proceedings and from various HCI peer-reviewed publications. General Directives: (1) Review recommended texts or articles for background on usability evaluation, (2) Review professor's notes on usability evaluation, (3) NSU IRB policy on Student Research (below), and (4) locate additional usability articles or sources to integrate into the paper. Overall Task: The student will conduct a user study in the form of a usability evaluation. The results of the user study can lead to valuable recommendations for improving the quality of the interface under evaluation. This exercise will also give the student first-hand experience in assessing user interface design through systematic and direct observation. Note: these instructions are a general guide to setting up a usability evaluation. Your usability evaluation will have to expand this general method. Some of these issues presented here as examples may or may not be applicable to your particular user study or your methods to plan and conduct the usability evaluation.
