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
