    Study Notes

    Core Design Skills and Team Characteristics

    • Core design skills: empathy, creativity, and communication
    • Key characteristics of a good team: humility, clear goals, and open communication

    Usability and HCI Focus

    • Usability defined as: the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified context of use
    • Main focus of HCI: understanding how humans interact with technology and designing systems that are easy to use and provide a good user experience
    • HCI focuses on designing computing systems that consider human, physical, mental, and social level constraints

    HCI Development and Impact

    • HCI has developed into a multidisciplinary field that incorporates psychology, computer science, and design
    • Impact of HCI on society: influences how people interact with technology and affects their daily lives
    • Impact of HCI on culture: shapes the way people interact with technology and influences cultural norms

    Design Critique

    • Purpose of design critique: to provide constructive feedback to improve design
    • Common issues in design critique feedback: unclear or vague feedback, unactionable feedback, and feedback that is too focused on personal taste
    • Method of critique that involves praise, criticism, and then praise again: Sandwich Method
    • What to avoid in design critique: giving unsolicited feedback and being overly critical

    Human-Computer Interaction

    • 'Two-way communicative receptive effective' describes interaction that is not only informative but also receptive to user feedback
    • Historically, HCI has developed from a focus on user interface to a multidisciplinary field that incorporates psychology, computer science, and design
    • Douglas Engelbart developed the first mouse at Stanford in 1963
