Lecture Week10 & 11 || Final Class

Bonjour peeps! 🌤
Guess what????? Today marks the end of our lecture! I'm both happy and sad at the same time. Happy for the success as we managed to cover all of the chapters according to plan and sad that we can no longer doodle and play around with colorful markers in class 🖍🖌
Alright, snap!
Take a look at the picture below and guess what we did in class today.. 😙
 Hehe, we had fun! 
Again, we participated in an active learning session, but this time, it's different from the previous ones. Last week, week 10 to be specific, we were divided into groups and were assigned to work on some slides and present the ideas in the form of drawings on a large sheet of paper. And today, we had to present it to the whole class. Ok, then what is so special? We had a tour! Each member of all group had to swap position with one another to form a new group of members from the different group(previous one). Confusing, I know. So basically, the newly formed group consists of members from different groups they were in before. The idea is we had to move from one point to another point, once we've reached our own point (our drawing), we need to explain to the rest, about it. Below is our group drawing on The Phases of Heuristic Evaluation :-

Overall, the class was lit! Everyone did really perform and presented their parts very well.

See you again, Madam Siti Rokhmah.

Week 9 || Lecture

Bonjour peeps! 🌤
In today's lecture, we were introduced to the role of evaluation and usability testing. Evaluation is required to determine whether users are satisfied with the system or not, and how well will the system fits the physical, social and organizational context. Evaluation concerns about gathering data for usability of a design/product. Evaluation can be in different forms but it is crucial to consider the following:-
1. Characteristics of users who take part in the evaluation.
2. Types of activities that the users will do.
3. The environment of the study, can be from a controlled laboratory situation to a natural work setting.
4. The nature of artefact being evaluated. It can be a series of sketches, usable prototype or fully developed product/system.
What is the actual goal of evaluation?
Simply, to find out what users want and what problems they faced.
As for usability testing, it can be defined as an effort to ascertain (make sure of) the degree to which software has met the usability needs of its intended user base. Note that usability is hard to evaluate or to measure. The factors to evaluate are as below:-
1. Time to learn the task
2. Speed of performance
3. Rate of errors (by users)
4. Retention over time
5. Subjective satisfaction (Do they like it?..)

For today's class activity, Madam Siti Rokhmah asked us to come out with samples of questions to be asked to the users. Below are the pictures of the outcomes.
