    Study Notes

    Lecture 3: Interaction Design

    • Interaction design is about creating systems that people can interact with efficiently and effectively.
    • Interaction types include instructing (issuing commands), conversing (interaction as a conversation), manipulating (interacting with objects), and exploring (moving through a space).
    • Emotional interaction in HCI considers how emotions influence and are influenced by human-computer interactions, encompassing emotions like surprise, joy, anger, love, disgust, sadness, and fear.
    • The process of interaction design involves establishing requirements, designing alternatives, prototyping, and evaluating.
    • Establishing requirements includes data gathering, data analysis/interpretation, and data presentation.
    • Data gathering is about collecting sufficient, relevant, and appropriate data to create stable requirements — even if requirements initially exist, data gathering is crucial to expand, clarify, and confirm.
    • Key issues in data gathering include setting goals, identifying participants, the data collector/provider relationship, triangulation, and pilot studies.
    • Goal setting needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
    • Identifying participants in data gathering includes methods of sampling, like probability sampling (random, stratified), or non-probability sampling (convenience, volunteer panels).
    • Stratified sampling partitions a population into subpopulations.
    • Convenience sampling selects readily accessible participants.
    • Volunteer sampling uses participants who are interested in the study or know the topic of study.
    • Data collector/provider relationships involve clear methods of data gathering, consent forms, for example.
    • Methods of collecting data are observations, interviews, questionnaires, and databases.
    • Pilot studies are small-scale trials of a larger study, to test protocols, instruments, and strategies. No pilot participants can be involved in the main study.
    • Interview types include unstructured (non-directive) interviews and structured interviews (standardized questions).
    • Focus groups collect data from a group of participants.
    • Questionnaires gather information from a larger number of participants. Design includes clear instructions, background checks (e.g., experience, time spent using computers), and ordering of questions.
    • Design considers possible responses and flow.
    • Design might need versions for different audiences.
    • Questionnaire responses can include check boxes, ranges, rating scales (Likert, semantic differential), and white areas.
    • Observations involve watching behaviors in a natural setting, types include direct and indirect. Indirect options include diaries, interaction logs, and web analytics.
    • Design rules increase usability in software and exist as standards, guidelines, and principles.
    • Types of design rules include abstract/low authority/high generality, specific/high authority/limited and general/low authority/more general app.
    • Principles to support usability are learnability, flexibility, and robustness. These relate to how easily new users can learn the system, ways the user and the system can interact and how well the system supports user achievement.
    • A good design ensures clear instructions for error correction and has visual cues to indicate errors.
