    Study Notes

    User Experience (UX)

    • UX focuses on understanding users, their needs, values, abilities, and limitations.
    • UX considers a business' goals, aspirations, and overall management.
    • UX's primary goal is to improve the user's interaction with a product and its services.

    User Needs

    • User needs are synonymous with user requirements.
    • They describe the user's actions with a product, its specifications, the system's method, and specific activities it performs.
    • User requirements are documented in a User Requirements Document (URD).

    Gathering User Needs

    • Interviews are structured conversations between an interviewer and interviewee, where the interviewer asks questions and the interviewee provides information.
    • Focus Groups involve a group of people discussing a topic led by a researcher.
    • Observation involves directly watching users interact with a product to understand their behavior.
    • Participatory Design involves users in the design process, which helps understand their motivations and provides detailed testing.
    • Personas are fictitious representations of users, depicting their stories, goals, and actions.

    User Research Methods

    • Surveys gather information from users through questionnaires regarding their experiences, preferences, and pain points.
    • Focus Groups facilitate discussions among users to understand their perspectives, opinions, and ideas.

    Prototyping

    • Throw-away Prototyping creates small portions of a product to be tested and evaluated. The prototype is discarded after analysis and feedback.
    • Evolutionary Prototyping involves creating an initial product, obtaining user feedback, and iteratively refining the prototype based on the feedback.
    • Incremental Prototyping involves a cycle of designing, implementing, and testing until the product meets requirements.

    Key Considerations

    • Design requires understanding user needs and cultural context.
    • Different individuals have diverse perspectives and ways of seeing and questioning the world.
    • User needs, cultural beliefs, and emotions influence user interface design.
    • Design cannot include every user need, so prioritization is key.

    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

    • HCI focuses on the design and implementation of computer technology, specifically on human-machine interactions.
