Human Computer Interaction

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. They can be difficult to create f the target audience is international - Having too many personas will make the work difficult - There is a risk of incorporating unsupported designer assumption

18. 1.language is ambiguous 2.meaning depends on context 3.dependent on visual cues






19. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






20. 1.require knowledge of the task domain - 2.may require tedious clarification dialogues - 3.complex system development






21. Articulatory distance is large because we are presented with the command prompt - no indication of functionality






22. User interface independence 1.They separate interface design from internals 2.They enable multiple user interface strategies 3. They enable multiple platform support 4. They establish the role of the user interface architect 5. They enforce standards






23. Low- fidelity prototypes - Evaluations - Wireframes - Functional prototypes

29. Graphical libraries - User interface toolkits - Visual interface builders - Web development tools






30. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






31. They make it possible to try out ideas very early - They make it possible to test - revise - test - revise...They engage end users -- managers and customers






32. 1. Visibility of System Status 2. Match between System and the Real World 3. User Control and Freedom 4. Consistency and Standards 5. Error Prevention 6. Recognition Rather Than Recall 7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use 8. Aesthetic and Minimalist


33. Gulfs of execution relate to the effectiveness principle - Gulfs of evaluation relate to the efficiency principle

41. Structuring the information space - Creating of alternative solutions - Determining which design concept to purse






42. They only involve the elements that you have written on the cards - They suggest solutions that imply structure - They become difficult to navigate with more categories






43. 1.require valid input in valid format 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes
