COAP 2170 Week 7 program

(Wednesday)

Short discussion of some design issues

  • Recall of the UCD principle: The user should be brought into each design phase.
User task analysis

Context: Task analysis is an early step in the design process. Usually it belongs to the problem analysis and requirements phase. As such it would complement other methods like contextual inquiry and card sorting. Task analysis usually is conducted prior to scenarios of use and UML use case analysis.

  • Use of mind map software for hierarchical component analysis.
  • Classroom activity: Create a mind map for "signing up and preparing for a class" task. You can use an online tool, e.g.

Planning / project management (FYI)
  • You either could use GANTT charts and/or Mind maps or a simple task list
  • It is important to identify each important task (also called "work packages")

Term project and prior homework

  • Discussion of hw 4
  • Term projects (blog posts on worldclassroom)
  • During the 2nd hour, students can work on their term project.

Homework 7

Please create a mindmap that represents a task analysis + a scenario based on this mindmap

  • Task you should analyse, choose one:
    • "Getting ready for a class"
    • "Getting ready for university"
  1. Create a mindmap using either an online service or a mind mapping program
  2. Write down a scenario of use based on this mindmap. A scenario basically is a summarized story. (read this)
  3. Turn in both files or URLs (mindmap + scenario)

Due: Wednesday week 8

  • In addition: Prepare term project presentation for Monday week 8.
