    Study Notes

    Data Analysis & Presentation

    • Data analysis and presentation in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is crucial for understanding user interaction with systems.
    • Improving interactions makes systems more efficient, effective, and user-friendly.
    • This process involves collecting, analyzing, and presenting data to help designers and researchers make informed decisions about design and usability.

    Types of Data

    • Data can be categorized as qualitative or quantitative.
    • Qualitative data includes characteristics like opinions, attitudes, and behaviors.
    • Quantitative data includes numerical values such as frequency, quantity, and magnitude.
    • Quantitative data can be further categorized as discrete or continuous.
    • Discrete data takes specific numerical values. Examples include number of pregnancies, needle punctures, and hospitalizations.
    • Continuous data can take any value in an interval. Examples include body mass, height, and blood pressure.
    • Qualitative data with unordered categories is called nominal.
    • Qualitative data with ordered categories is called ordinal.

    Data Analysis Techniques (Quantitative Analysis)

    • Quantitative analysis collects numerical data like frequency, quantity, and magnitude.
    • It aims to provide numerical descriptions and explanations of the data.
    • Techniques include Descriptive statistics, Inferential Statistics, and Time Series Analysis.

    Descriptive Statistics

    • Statistics like Median, Mode, Mean, Range etc are used to understand data.
    • Median is the middle number in a sorted list.
    • Mode is the most frequent number.
    • Mean is the average.
    • Range is the difference between the largest and smallest value.
    • Other descriptive statistics include Histogram, Distribution, Skewness, Percentiles, Quartiles, Interquartile Range, and Outliers.

    Inferential Statistics

    • Inferential Statistics identify significant differences or relationships within data using techniques like t-tests, ANOVA, or regression analysis.
    • Techniques such as Hypothesis Testing, Regression Analysis, Z-test, F-test, T-test, ANOVA Test and other tests are used to analyze data.

    Time Series Analysis

    • Use Time Series Analysis when analyzing user interaction logs over time to identify patterns or trends, such as seasonality.

    Data Analysis Techniques (Qualitative Analysis)

    • Qualitative analysis collects non-numerical data like opinions, attitudes, and behaviors.
    • Aims to understand meaning behind data.
    • Different types of analysis include Thematic Analysis, Content Analysis, and Affinity Diagrams.

    Data Presentation

    • Data presentation structures, visualizes, and communicates data to users through an interface.
    • The design of data representation impacts usability, cognition, decision-making, and overall user experience.

    Data Visualization

    • Data Visualization translates raw data into graphical forms such as charts, graphs, and maps to help users quickly understand insights or trends.
    • Examples include Bar Charts, Line Graphs, Pie Charts, Heat Maps, Column Charts, Bar Charts, and Histogram Charts.

    Multimodal Data Representation

    • Multimodal methods use multiple sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile) to represent data.
    • Examples include Visual and Auditory Alerts and Tactile Feedback systems.

    Icons and Pictograms

    • Icons and pictograms use simplified graphical symbols to represent actions and data quickly, without text.
    • Examples are used in Weather Apps, and File Management Systems.

    3D and Spatial Representation

    • Representing data in three dimensions or using spatial techniques enhances understanding, particularly for large datasets or geographical information.
    • Examples include Medical Imaging and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

    Temporal Data Representation

    • Used to track trends, changes, and events over time.
    • Examples include Timelines and Animations.

    Narrative-Based Representation

    • Integrating data into a coherent story or sequence of events enhances user understanding.
    • Examples include Interactive Stories.

    Data Presentation = Use Cases

    • The actor represents the individual or system interacting with the data.
    • The system provides appropriate data representations.

    Requirements

    • Requirements are the conditions or capabilities a product, system, or project must meet to satisfy user needs and expectations.
    • Defining requirements is crucial during the design, development, and testing processes.
      • Functional requirements define the system's actions (e.g., login, report generation, data filtering)
      • Non-functional requirements specify qualities like performance, usability, security, and scalability (e.g., response time, accessibility, data encryption)
      • System requirements specify the necessary hardware, software, or infrastructure for effective system operation.
      • User requirements specify how the system should behave from the user's perspective.

    Interaction Design Approaches

    • Methodologies and strategies for creating intuitive, effective, and enjoyable user interfaces and experiences (emphasizing user behavior and design creativity).
      • User-Centered Design (UCD): Focusing on user needs throughout the design process.
      • Activity-Centered Design: Focuses on the actions and tasks users need to perform.
      • System-Centered Design: Focuses on the technical specifications and goals of the system, independent of user interface.
      • Genius Design : Design based on the designer’s creativity and experience without comprehensive user input.

    Phases in User-Centered Design

    • Understanding the context of user interaction
    • Specifying user requirements
    • Designing solutions
    • Evaluating designs against requirements

    Task Analysis

    • Understanding a user's task, their environment, and their mental processes.
    • Two common approaches are Cognitive and Hierarchical task analysis

    Who are the Users?

    • End Users: Directly interact with the system or product.
    • Stakeholders: Have an interest in the system but don't directly interact.
    • Power Users: Highly experienced users familiar with the system's functions.
    • Novice Users: New to the system or product, require more guidance.
    • Secondary Users: Less frequent or indirect interactions with the system.

    Summary of User Involvement Across Approaches

    • User involvement levels vary based on project goals, resources, and the chosen design approach.
    •  High, Medium, and Low involvement levels are used in interaction design to classify the extent to which users participate in the design and development process

    Level of User Involvement

    • In interaction design, the level of user involvement can vary greatly depending on project goals, resources, and the chosen design approach.
    • High involvement, moderate involvement, and low involvement are used in interaction design to detail different points in the user process.

    Comparison of High, Medium, and Low Involvement

    • A breakdown of the description, activities, and appropriate usages for each user involvement level, along with their challenges.
