Paper Details

Assignment #5 – group project continued

You will continue this assignment with the same group you worked with on the last assignment.

If you have any major problems or issues in your group, please contact the instructor ASAP.

Overview of Assignment 5 and Assignment 6

For this assignment and the next one, you will continue the (re)design of the web site you chose in the last assignment. This (re)design process will span both assignments. Here is an overview of the entire process:

Assignment 5: Decide on what aspect(s) of your site you will (re)design, and build a prototype – this should be based on usability issues you found in Assignment # 4.

Assignment 6: Run user tests on your (re)design, refine the design based on the tests, build a new prototype, and run another set of user tests.

Assignment 5 Instructions

Step 1: Decide on what aspect(s) of your site you will (re)design. You will probably consider some combination of page design and navigation. Thinking in terms of user tasks, you should probably focus on a task or combination of tasks that should ideally take the user from three to five minutes; that’s long enough to be interesting but short enough to make creating the prototype and running the user tests manageable. If you have concerns over whether the aspects you have chosen are “enough” (or too much), send a message to the TAs or instructor or use Piazza.

Step 2: Sketch a number of possible re-designs on paper. Each person in your group should do at least 3 different sketches (on paper) for possible (re)designs of your site. These can be either visual (layout) or process (flow through the task) kinds of sketches. Use your HCI notebooks for inspiration. You should do these separately, and then compare your ideas. Think of this as visual brainstorming. Choose one sketch that will be the basis for the (re)design, or create a new composite sketch that gives a quick sense of what your (re)design will be.

Step 3: Using a prototyping tool of your choice (e.g., Balsamiq, Moqups, etc.), create a prototype of your (re)design. Your prototype should include all the alternative clicks/entries/actions/displays that the user may see or need while working through the task(s) (from Step 1) using the prototype.

Deliverables:

Include your Assignment #4 with Assignment #5. Consider it the same document for Assignments #4, #5 and #6 – essentially a design and evaluation report that you might create if you were doing this in a company. As such, consider a table of contents and/or good headings to make it clear what the different sections of the document are. See the section below for more on writing design reports. (overall form, layout, design of the document: 5 points)

Part A (10 points)

(about 200-300 words)

A description of the aspect of your site you decided to (re)design in Step 1 (3 points)

A detailed description of the task(s) you expect the user to be able to carry out in your prototype (7 points)

Part B (30 points)

The sketches that you produced in Step 2. Use a scanner or camera to capture the paper sketches, and paste into your document. These don’t need to be great quality, just good enough to read. Make sure the team member’s name is on the sketches she or he created. You should have a minimum of 9 sketches (3 per person). Also indicate/include the “final” sketch that was the basis for your prototype. (approximately 3 points for each sketch plus 3 extra points for the “final” sketch)

Part C (25 points)

Your prototype (all pages) from Step 3.

Part D (15 points)

(about 300-400 words)

A brief description of how your prototype works. If it is a redesign, what is different from the original? (5 points)

What issues were you trying to address in the design? (5 points)

How does your design represent the users/stakeholders you described in Assignment 4? (5 points)

Submit these materials as PDF(s) via Canvas. Make sure the document(s) include your team name and all the names of all your group members on first page of document (name the file “Lastname1_Lastname2_Lastname3_ICS4_HW5”)

A Note on Prototypes

Your prototype needs to be detailed enough that we are able to use them for usability testing in Assignment #6. That means that simple black-and-white wireframes that show layout but no content are probably not detailed enough. On the other hand, a fully realized web page is more detail than you need. Your prototypes should be somewhere in the middle.

These videos shows usability tests using paper prototypes. They offer a good sense of how detailed a prototype should be:

http://youtu.be/ppnRQD06ggY?t=98 (not great quality on this one, but enough to see what’s going on)

One caveat about the level of detail: if you are making a claim that more color, better imagery, better alignment, etc. will produce a better user experience with your site, you will need to provide more detail about those aspects, enough that we are able to recognize and evaluate the claims. In other words, the more important the feature is to your overall design, the more detail you will need to provide.

Writing Design/Evaluation Reports

A design report is a document that summarizes what you did on a design project. It is often used in organizations as a way to document the process and decisions made during a design project. In this class, Assignments #4, #5, and #6 together will form the meat of the design report (the complete report will be your deliverable for Assignment #6). There are many different formats for design reports, and many organizations have more formal processes for creating them, but they have a similar generic structure with three main sections:

Section 1: Describe the problem and background for the project. In a user-centered design project, this will include a lot of information about the stakeholders of the system. This section corresponds to Assignment #4.

Section 2: Describe the design itself and the process through which it was developed. This section corresponds to Assignment #5.

Section 3: Describe the evaluation of the design and any resulting changes. This section corresponds to Assignment #6.

You may also have additional sections including a title page, table of contents, or executive summary at the front, and lists of references, illustrations or appendices at the end.

For a nice guide to writing design reports, check out http://www.me.umn.edu/education/undergraduate/writing/How-to-write-a-Design-Report.pdf. It comes out of a mechanical engineering discipline, but is mostly applicable here. The style of report they describe is more detailed and slightly different from what we’ll be doing (e.g. their prototype description is in the evaluation section, whereas we have it in the design section), but overall it is a good overview.

After watching the video & reading the article provided in the content area.

• Go ahead and set up a Bitcoin wallet. 
• Describe and explain the process, you can also talk about any difficulties you have encountered. 

In 500 words or more, compare DNS failover and cloud failover. 

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.  Stand alone quotes will not count toward the 3 required quotes.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Do not use attachments as a submission. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.

Choose an organization from the education, financial, or healthcare sector to study throughout this course. Each week you explore different aspects within the IT division of the organization including:

• 3 dimensions of risk management
• Potential risks during a server database migration
• Risk assessment and continuity plan
• Request for proposal for new web servers
• Monte Carlo method

You have been asked by the CIO of the organization you chose to create Microsoft®PowerPoint® presentation, along with an accompanying summary guide handout, for the managers of the IT, Accounting/Finance, and Engineering departments to inform them of the three dimensions of risk management.

The three dimensions of risk management shape the organizational framework of project risk management and determine the degree of freedom used to classify various realizations of uncertainties, resulting in a formalized systematic analysis of physical systems.

Research information about the organization you chose to complete this week’s assignment.

Part A:

Create a 4- to 6-slide, (does not include title or reference pages) media-rich Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation (with Speaker Notes) which describes each of the three dimensions, its definition, values, and importance to your company. Identify the potential security risks to an organization in each of the following outsourcing situations:

• The implementation of an external service provider for data/security protection
• The use of contractual service providers for processing information systems applications such as a payroll, human resources, or sales order taking
• The use of an offshore company to support your desktop computers
• The use of an third-party governance to provide network support

Note: Media-rich presentations should include multimedia such as graphics, charts, pictures, photos, drawings, video clips, or audio.

Part B:

Create a 1-page ( (does not include title or reference pages) Microsoft® Word Summary Guide on this presentation. Include the following:

• Risk considerations during the development and implementation of information systems
• The importance of Information systems risk management
• A summary of the organizational risk management framework
• The risk register of the highest risk of information security to the organization

Include APA-formatted citations when necessary.
