Part 4
EVALUATION REPORT
Narrative Rubric
PART 4 due by 4/21 at 11:59pm on Canvas or Team Page (as discussed with your TA)
REPORT 4 Tabular Rubric (70) Powerpoint PRESENTATION Tabular Rubric (30pts)
The goal of this class was to design an artifact that was useful and usable. In the final report, your group will conduct an evaluation of the prototype developed in Part 3 and come to some conclusions about whether your design was useful and usable. The key to this part of the project is not to simply describe your evaluation methodology and the results but to rise above that and describe what you learned from it. What conclusions can you draw from the studies? What aspects of your design were "useful and useable" and what failed to meet your specifications? If you had more time to work on the design, what would you change and improve? Remember, no designer ever gets a system "just right." The goal is to carefully assess the design and provide a plan for its improvement.
Your write-up for this part should include the following:
1. Description of the evaluation techniques, tasks and users involved in your study (include a link to your demo video);
2. Why you chose these particular techniques;
3. Results of the study both objective and subjective survey results, task completion times, etc etc.;
4. Discussion of the results
Implications that you take from the results with respect to your design, both specific and general; was your system useful and usable?
Description of UI changes you made during the testing process (these are typically small, easy to make changes);
Description of changes that you would make if you had more time OR OTHER INFORMATION. IN PARTICULAR DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE MATERIAL COVERED DURING LECTURE;
Limitations related to the approach you took
5. What you learned from the overall project experience (class theme), about UI design, about project teamwork; what each of you learned about yourself; what you would do differently if you were to start over. What about what you learned from Norman? What about sustainability?
Final Project Presentation: 5 minutes
Your presentation should take no more than 4 minutes and allow for a question or two. It is important that you do a good job communicating all your efforts for the semester. You want to make sure that your objectives in the project are discussed, your system is clearly presented, and your evaluation results/conclusions are clear. It is important to describe what you learned from the project. What are the take-away lessons that you will use in the future? Why?
Practice your presentation several times. 4 minutes is not long, so plan a snappy, to the point talk.
You will be graded on the final presentation, on the following criteria:
max 5 minutes max.
Did you cover all the elements in the suggested outline.
Professional quality of the PowerPoint presentation itself, and professional style of the presenter.
How well you handle questions. (Not relevant in recorded presentation)
If the presentation is in person, 2 team members should give the presentation (these will be assigned randomly or you can all choose to give one part), with a smooth hand-off from one to the other.
Please follow this outline. Pay close attention to the amount of time allocated to each section. You may want to adhere to the number of slides that are recommended…
Introduction: Title slide and problem statement slide.: Group name (team member name can be on the slide but no need to spend time on introductions) what problem you are trying to solve; 30sec-
Requirements: What requirements for the People/Places/Activities? List the most important first, and tell us why they are the most important; 30 sec.
Initial Designs: Summarize the key features of each of your three initial designs. Narrowing process: What final prototype did you choose, and why? 1 minute max, 2-3 PPts.
Final Prototype Demo Video: A fast walk-through of the prototype you built for evaluation (including any changes you made during the evaluation process); max 1 minute max.
Evaluation results: What did you learn about your prototype? Give quantitative and qualitative results from your evaluation. If you have a lot of results, emphasize the most interesting / useful. 1 minute (or more).
