Test your basic knowledge |

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.

31. 1. the people who are involved with the work 2. the things they use to do the work - 3. the process that are involved in the work - 4. the information required to do the work - 5. the constraints imposed on the work - 6. the inputs required by the wo






32. Use multiple independent evaluators - Use observer to record evaluator - Go through interface several times - Compare interaction against list of heuristics - Use heuristics specific to design - List heuristic problems and how the heuristic is violat


33. Establishing the goal - Forming the intention - Specifying the action sequence - Execute the action sequence - Perceiving the world state - Interpreting the perception - Evaluate the interpretation






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






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






36. 1.require valid input supplied by user 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






37. Menu constraints can help the user to form the proper intentions and specify the proper action sequence - provide a context to evaluate the output language
