Write stage 2 papers
present the completed designs, the results of your design evaluations, and your final design recommendations.
In section 5 you will finish development of your visual design (based on the results of your evaluation testing, presented in section 7), discussing your visual design choices and presenting your prototype design. For stage two this needs to be digitally rendered design work.
You will develop a testing plan using the approach outlined in the Evaluation and Testing module for your design prototypes. Present this plan describing your process in section 7. Include any supporting documents (for example, your consent form). We have included a template for a simple consent form above.
You will need to conduct your testing with people who are representative of the target audience that you described earlier in the design brief. This needs to be actual testing, and you will need to include pictures from your testing sessions together with scans or photographs of your evaluation consent forms as evidence. It may not be possible to talk to people who are in your defined audience, in which case you should try to work with the following list of participants (in this order of priority):
People (or at least one person) who would fit in your defined audience description
People from the general population (perhaps parents or older friends)
Friends or students who are not in the HCI course
Students or other teams from the HCI course
Present the results of your testing and your results analysis in section 7.2.
Give a clear description of your findings and recommendations based on your results in section 7.3.
The second stage of your Design Brief also includes four discussion sections. Section 6 is a discussion of how you would involve your users in the design process if you were able to access them.
Section 8 discusses the accessibility implications for your proposed design work.
Section 9 asks you to look at how your designs might work in different domains – in different settings or using different technology.
Section 10 gives you the opportunity to think about what you could do with your proposed design if you had access to new and emerging technology – the sky is the limit for this section!
