Assignment 2 Specification
The purpose of the report is to provide a heuristic evaluation
plan for university learning management
system. In this group assignment (maximum 5 students) you are
required to produce a non-functioning
prototype, usability analysis and heuristic evaluation plan for an
organisation, in the format of a report
(2000-2500 words) documenting your design rationale.

4. All members must contribute equally to the assignment and the
walkthrough. Non-attendance at the
walkthrough will mean a mark of ZERO is awarded to the group
member.
Many Universities in Australia and the world are using learning
management systems (LMS) such as
Blackboard and Moodel. As an HCI specialist team you have
been requested to propose the user interface
design modifications for the LMS Blackboard of our university
HOLMES institute.
1. Perform a user analysis. You must have a clear view of the
users of this system. Consider that not
everyone is comfortable with the technology. For example, you
need to deal with user variation
such as age or language skills.
2. Perform a task analysis to identify the tasks the potential
users will perform, and in what order.
3. Consolidate your findings from your user and task analysis
and propose a design and specify
system requirements to realise the recommended interface. For
example, the number of items to
display, the screen size, what colours, how many different
screens to display, the devices to you,

5. the physical design.
4. Develop a low-fidelity (paper) prototype (a minimum of 4
screens). Based on the above
requirements, develop a preliminary design of the user
interface. At this stage, the prototype is
basically a medium to support your initial concept and ideas.
For example, the prototype should
show where the relevant button locations, how much
information would be presented on each
screen etc. Low- fidelity prototyping is mainly to allow
designers to produce alternative designs
expediently without having to go into depth or functionality.
Think of low-fidelity prototyping as
the 5D tool for: design, draft, decide, discard and do-over.
5. Perform an interim evaluation of your design by creating a
method of feedback and asking 3-4
potential users (e.g. friends, family members, classmates, etc.)
to complete the feedback for your
low-fidelity paper prototype. Carry out the evaluation according
to prescribed methods found in
the textbook (Shneiderman & Plaisant, 2017) or from other
scholarly sources. Use appropriate
survey techniques. Analyse the data you have collected from the

6. user evaluation and note down
any recommendations as to how you could refine and improve
on your initial design.
HS2031 Human Computer Interaction Assignment 2 Page 3 of 5
6. Based on the user test feedback and recommendations
develop a high-fidelity prototype. The high-
fidelity prototype should be an online mock-up of your proposal
and should demonstrate some
navigation, although it does not need to work as a complete
interface. A minimum of 4 screens
should be produced in correspondence to your storyboard. The
high-fidelity prototype must be
computer based and any software is acceptable including
PowerPoint, storyboarding, etc.
7. Create an evaluation plan with recommendations on the tools
and methods you intend to use to
evaluate the usability of your interface.
Upon the completion of the task, you are to required provide a
formal report to document the tasks and
the outcome of your efforts undertaken for the project.

7. Remember, this report is intended for your
employers and as such be professionally formatted and
presented. Your report will support the viability
of your interface and as such needs to convince your employer
that your interface design is satisfactory
and that it meets user acceptance test.
REPORT STRUCTURE:
In your report please follow the below structure:
1. Introduction – State the purpose and objectives of the report.
2. Discussion – Build your arguments into a cohesive thread,
presenting your observations and
findings that you have collated.
3. Recommendation – This is the section where you present
your recommendations.
4. Conclusion – Summarise your findings, consolidating and
drawing attention to the main points
of the report.
5. References. (a minimum of 10 references)

3 step approach
Please be sure to appropriately use my 3 Step Approach, every
time you answer an individual question on your Review Format
Sheet starting with 1A and ending with 3C.
Step #1 is to give your opinion/response to each particular
question asked on the Format Sheet.
Step #2 is to give a general explanation of that opinion/response
you just gave in your own words.
Step #3 is to give a couple of supporting details from the book
you read to do this review on to support your general
explanation. These two specific supporting details from the
book you read may include direct quotes from that book and/or
paraphrasing that information directly from the book. Thus,
you want to be in the 4-6 line rangeminimum for every quote or
paraphrase that you use here in this part of your answer.
The bulk of your answer for these Format Sheet questions
should come from Step #3!
Doing the above properly will lead you to write as close to
a 7 Page Final Draft Main Body as possible that answers each
and every question asked on the Format Sheet with good, solid
paragraphs. Remember, you want good, solid paragraphs for
each and every question you answer on your Format Sheet since
each individual question is potentially worth 10 points apiece,
with your review as a whole worth a total of 100 points!

18. MLA Basic Formatting Checklist
Note: The following guidelines can be found in the MLA
Handbook. Your instructor does have some additional
requirements in (Red) addition to or instead of these rules.
Specific Main Body of the Paper Directions
1 inch margins all around. (Yes)
Easy-to-read font size/style (MLA recommends Times New
Roman, 12-point font). (Yes)
Entire paper double-spaced (Yes) and book quotes of 4 or more
lines have to be presented in your paper inseparate block
paragraphs. (No, they do not)
Extra space between paragraphs are removed, please have no
extra spaces here. (Yes)
Header in upper right corner includes your last name and page
number (remember to change font size/style to match the body
of the paper. (Yes)
The first line of each paragraph is indented ½ inch. (Yes)
Specific Title Page Directions
Information at the bottom right of paper includes your name,
instructor’s name, course name, and date. You do this on a
Separate Title Page. Please follow the specific directions I gave
you on your Format Sheet to properly complete this part of your
Book Review Assignment.
Title of book and author(s) name(s) should be in the center of
your title page. Also as part of your Separate Title Page format.
CRITICAL BOOK REVIEW FORMAT:

using the following criteria:
A. Fully Explained Opinions
B. Grammar, Sentence and Paragraph Structure
C. Topic Organization
Separate Title Page: This page does not count as part of your
