Design Principles
from Don Norman’s “Design of Everyday Things” and
Preece, Rogers and Sharp’s “Beyond Interaction Design”
Design of Everyday Things
• Donald Norman - cognitive scientist and engineer who
has pioneered many ideas surrounding user centred-
design
• worked for Apple, Hewlett Packard, Northwestern
University, UCSD
• critiques and examines many everyday items as examples
of problematic designs
• design principles a framework for discussing and thinking
about everyday interactions
• Norman, Donald A. (1988). The Design of Everyday Things. New
York: Basic Books.
Design Principles
• Visibility- can is see it?
• Feedback - what is it doing now?
• Affordance - how do I use it?
• Mapping - where am 1 and where can I go?
• Constraint - why can’t I do that?
• Consistency - I think I have seen this before?
Visibility
• Can see the state of a device and possible actions
• Car controls are positioned in a way that they can
be easily found and used
Visibility
• Problems arise when we cannot “see” how to do use
a device
• Sensor technology like auto faucets - not sure how
to use - guess where to put hands
• Visible knobs, dials and buttons have been replaced
by invisible and ambiguous “active zones”
Visibility
• Hiding certain functions can be
advantageous in interface design
• Certain functions are kept invisible
until needed; also contained within
a group of similar types
• Google search makes it clear
where to enter text
Visibility
• Other examples of poor or good visibility in design?
Feedback
• what is it doing now? what action has been
performed?
• needs to be immediate and synchronized with user
action
Feedback
• Sound works as feedback - examples?
Feedback
• Other examples of feedback in everyday design?
Affordance
• Perceived and actual properties of an object that give
clues to its operation

Consistency
• designing interfaces to have similar operations and use similar
elements for achieving similar task
• systems are usable and learnable when similar concepts are
expresses in similar ways
• enables people to quickly transfer prior knowledge to new
contexts and focus on relevant tasks
• Four types of consistency:

Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health c.docxtheodorelove43763
Evidence-based practice is an approach to health care where health care professionals use the best evidence possible or the most appropriate information available to make their clinical decisions. Research studies are gathered from the literature and assessed so that decisions about application can be done so with as much insight as possible. Not all research is able to be taken into the clinical practice that is why assessing the literature and determining if it is possible to carry out in a safe and effective manner is important. The steps that make up the evidence-based practice is first to ask a question which pertains to your clinical practice, then search for research and literature that will help solve your question. Third step is to evaluate the evidence and determine if it can be used safely and effectively in your clinical practice, then you must apply the information to your clinical experience and with your patient’s values. Finally, you must evaluate the outcome and determine if the desired effect is being reached. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014)
The nursing process is drilled into our education as nurses and with good reason. The nursing process is used countless times throughout our practice. I was taught the acronym ADPIE which stands for assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. When assessing it is important to gather as much information on the patient whether it be subjective or objective findings. After we make a nursing diagnosis based on our assessment and then we plan on how to best care for our patient, and what our goals and their goals are for their care. Once the plan is made and the patient consents to the care plan then we can implement the plan. After we implement, we evaluate whether our goals and the patient’s goals are being reached. If not, we begin the nursing process all over again. (LoBiondo-Wood, 2014) In my own practice I use the nursing practice on every patient and even do it multiple times. When a patient enters the emergency room they are immediately being assessed and then once the physical and interview assessments are done the nurse creates a nursing diagnosis. The nurse creates a care plan that is based on evidence-based practice and goes over it with patient to gain consent.
The difference between these two processes is how they begin. The nursing process begins by gathering as much information as possible to then give a nursing diagnosis. While evidence-based practice begins by posing a question first and then gathering as much information as possible. They do have similarities especially when it comes to the end of the processes. Evaluating whether the care plan is working in the nursing process or whether the research and literature brought out a successful new take on the clinical practice. They both need to make the outcomes are as expected and if they are not it is back to the beginning of the process.

TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 2
Our consulting team, RAL Consulting, was hired by TechEdge to evaluate its current
organization structure and behavior, identify areas of needed improvement, point out a list of
actionable items for the company to improve its performance and how to implement those. This
case outlines our team’s consulting process to produce a final case write-up.
CASE OUTLINE
1. Introduction (at least 1 but no more than 2 pages)
Overview and history of TechEdge (one or two paragraphs)
TechEdge offered technology consulting service to other business, in a B2B business model.
According to Prabhu & Hedgei, the company structure was divided into sales, consulting,
support and services, back office operations, finance and software. All these departments were
led by vice presidents who reported to the CEO. The VPs assisted the managers, who led their
teams independently in their departments.
TechEdge: Main Organizational Behavior issues (half - 1 page)
The case presented a summarized list of challenges faced by TechEdge. (For next assignment,
List 5 major reasons listed on the case on page 5). Our consulting team identified a few
behaviors that might be driving these 5 major issues. These are:
§ HR v. VP responsibilities
o HRs responsibilities limited to recruiting while VPs were managing, training and
evaluating performance of the employees.
o HR not assisting with people management issues.
§ Team leader v. VP responsibilities
o Team leaders were responsible for team performance, but each team member
reported to their respective VP.
TECHEDGE CASE STUDY WRITE-UP - OUTLINE 3
o Lack of unity and shared objectives
§ Group v. Team structure.
o Different departments working together as temporary teams without a clear
common objective. Each department was more focused on their own tasks.
§ General sense of unaccountability between teams:
o All teams felt they didn’t receive adequate support from the operations
department
o Dissatisfaction from Operations VP: Complaints about overload of work,
dependency on external factors, and not enough time to fulfil other teams’
expectations
o Finance team complained about not having enough funds due to bad performance
of the sales team
§ General feeling that the company was understaffed
§ HR team couldn’t hire the best employees offering low wages

Evidence Synthesis
Critique the below evidence synthesis exemplar to address the following.
Patient falls with injury and fall prevention remain complex phenomena in the acute care setting as well as a major challenge for healthcare professionals (Gygax Spicer, 2017). Patient falls are considered one of the leading adverse events occurring in acute care settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, with the detrimental impact to the patient ranging from mild to severe bruising, fractures, trauma, and even death (de Medeiros Araújo et al., 2017). Falls are common phenomena in older adults, with roughly one out of three people age 65 years and older who suffers from at least one fall per year due to multiple factors including environmental, social, and physiological factors either alone or in conjunction (Gygax Spicer, 2017). The etiology is that patients are attempting to get out of bed without assistance from nursing staff. Several of the causative factors include illness, impulsiveness, urgency, medications, or being in an unfamiliar environment. Lastly, there has been an increase in the amount of turnover in staffing, thus reducing the amount of available nursing staff in the practice setting.
Does the author clearly identify the scope of the evidence synthesis? Explain your rationale.
Are strong paraphrased sentences included that are supported by contemporary sources of research evidence? Explain your rationale.
Are the facts related to the practice problem presented in an objective manner? Explain your rationale.
Does the author use sources to support ideas and claims, and not the other way around? Explain your rationale.
Based on your appraisal, is this exemplar a true synthesis of the evidence? Or is it a summary of the evidence? Explain your rationale.

Evaluation is the set of processes and methods that managers and stakeholders use to determine whether the program is successful. Success is determined by multiple parameters such as financial viability of the program as well as the administrative and clinical impact of the program on the community’s or organization’s mission. Today’s programs are also expected to proactively address healthcare disparities and inequities in all levels of communities and demonstrate measureable reductions in inequities in diverse patient/client populations.
For this milestone, you will create an evaluation plan that will include the financial aspects of your proposed program as well as your evaluation methods. In your submission, be sure to include the following:
Proposed Program :to establish a department in IGM to facilitate holistic care of pediatric patients. This holistic care will require patients to be monitored before, during, and after a clinical procedure. The program will be flexible to ensure that each patient receives customized care at a subsidized fee.
Financial Aspects
o What specific resources would you suggest for use in your program? For example, what staffing and equipment suggestions would you make?
Be sure to explain your rationale.
o What is the impact on the community’s or organization’s current budget? In other words, will the program fit into the existing budget, or willconcessions need to be made?
o What recommendations would you make for ensuring the program is financially sustainable? Are there measurable expense reductions for the community/organization that cover the costs of the program? Does the program create new sources of revenue for the community or organization to offset the costs of the program?
Evaluation
o What will you measure (such as benchmarks, patient outcomes, or other measurable data) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the program implementation? Focus on both administrative and clinical measures. Include multiple levels of measurement, including the patients/clients served, populations of patients/clients served, and community environmental measures.
o What tools will you use to measure the effect of your program on reducing the incidence of healthcare disparities?
o How will these evaluation tools tell you whether the program is successful?
o To what extent will the program help ensure healthcare equity across diverse populations? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper for this milestone must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA formatting. Include at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly resources.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Design Principlesfrom Don Norman’s Design of Everyday Thing.docx
1. Design Principles
from Don Norman’s “Design of Everyday Things” and
Preece, Rogers and Sharp’s “Beyond Interaction Design”
Design of Everyday Things
• Donald Norman - cognitive scientist and engineer who
has pioneered many ideas surrounding user centred-
design
• worked for Apple, Hewlett Packard, Northwestern
University, UCSD
• critiques and examines many everyday items as examples
of problematic designs
• design principles a framework for discussing and thinking
about everyday interactions
• Norman, Donald A. (1988). The Design of Everyday Things.
New
York: Basic Books.
Design Principles
• Visibility- can is see it?
2. • Feedback - what is it doing now?
• Affordance - how do I use it?
• Mapping - where am 1 and where can I go?
• Constraint - why can’t I do that?
• Consistency - I think I have seen this before?
Visibility
• Can see the state of a device and possible actions
• Car controls are positioned in a way that they can
be easily found and used
Visibility
• Problems arise when we cannot “see” how to do use
a device
• Sensor technology like auto faucets - not sure how
to use - guess where to put hands
• Visible knobs, dials and buttons have been replaced
by invisible and ambiguous “active zones”
Visibility
• Hiding certain functions can be
3. advantageous in interface design
• Certain functions are kept invisible
until needed; also contained within
a group of similar types
• Google search makes it clear
where to enter text
Visibility
• Other examples of poor or good visibility in design?
Feedback
• what is it doing now? what action has been
performed?
• needs to be immediate and synchronized with user
action
Feedback
• Sound works as feedback - examples?
Feedback
• Other examples of feedback in everyday design?
4. Affordance

Constraints
• Restricting the kind of
interactions that can take place
• Reduce the chance of error
• Can also work to focus user’s
attention to needed task
Constraints
• Other examples of good and bad
constraints?
Consistency
• designing interfaces to have similar operations and use similar
elements for achieving similar task
6. • systems are usable and learnable when similar concepts are
expresses in similar ways
• enables people to quickly transfer prior knowledge to new
contexts and focus on relevant tasks
• Four types of consistency:
• aesthetic
• functional
• internal
• external
Consistency
Aesthetic
• style and appearance is repeated to enhance
recognition, communicates membership and sets
emotional tone
• Mercedes Benz vehicles are instantly
recognizable because the company consistently
feature its logo on all its vehicles
• associated with quality and prestige; respected
and admired; fine craftsmanship and reliable
Consistency
7. Functional
• meaning and action are consistent to improve
learnability and understanding
• consistent use of symbols to represent similar
concepts, leverages prior knowledge and makes
new things easier to use
• traffic always turns yellow before red
• cassette recorder control symbols used on a
Consistency
Internal
• consistency with other elements in the
system
• cultivates a sense of orientation and trust
• indicates system is well thought out and
planned
• eg. park and trail signage
Consistency
External
• consistent with other elements in the environment
8. • extends the benefit of internal consistencies across
multiple, independent systems
• more difficult to achieve because different systems rarely
observe the same design standards
Guidance:
1. Purpose - this is just what the document is for, you don't need
to modify this section in any way.
2. Goals and Philosophy - this is just what are the primary NFRs
that the architecture addresses. For example, if reliability is a
key concern you would say that the architecture addresses
reliability issues. Its not really a 'philosophy', it just what you
are trying to achieve with the architecture.
3. Assumptions and Dependencies - this is where you state some
of your key assumptions - things like that the warehouse has a
connection to the Internet, that the warehouse has a wireless
network to connect the cranes - that the cranes have an
independent processing node on them and aren't just a remote
screen (for example). That the WMS is a separate system.
Dependencies are things like the SOAP specification, the WAF
specs, access to a TCP/IP network - external factors that you
can't control and need to support/implement, or depend on.
4. Architecturally significant requirements - requirements that
affect the architecture - like supporting access as a web service,
the fact that the crane drivers consoles are mobile, if you have
any reliability recoverability or performance requirements.
Note : sections 2 through 4 are 'forward looking' - ie they spell
out requirements that your architecture has to address. The
following sections are 'backward looking' - ie they document
things that you decide and do in the other parts (B,C, D) of the
assignment. You should NOT get stuck trying to figure these
later sections out before you have actually decided on what your
architecture is going to be, and what software patterns you are
9. going to use. Come back and fill these sections in after you
have worked out your architecture and detailed design.
5. Decisions, constraints, and justifications. Here is where you
note down and explain/justify decisions you have made (note
past tense).
6. Architectural mechanisms. Mechanism is sort of a synonym
for 'pattern'. I relate it back to architectural 'tactics'. Tactics are
a specific approach you are going to take to address a particular
NFR. For example, we may have a reliability NFR, and we
decide we are going to address that NFR using a 'hot spare'.
'Hot spare' is an 'architectural mechanism' we are going to use
to address the reliability NFR. Refer to the lecture on
'Principles, Patterns, Tactics, and Views' for some idea of what
tactics are. Otherwise, get hold of 'Software Architecture in
Practice' (SWAiP) - or google 'software architecture tactics' and
look at the articles published by the Carnegie SEI. I have also
uploaded Chapter 5 from SWAiP into the Asg2 Resources
section of the website.
My take is - an 'architectural mechanism' is some software
pattern by which we are going to implement some architectural
tactic. IE a mechanism implements a tactic.
Just note down what tactic you are going to employ to address
some NFR, and then what pattern/arrangement of components
you are going to use to implement that tactic. Once again this is
best done after you have decided how you are going to address
those issues.
7. Key Abstractions - for abstraction, read 'representation' or
'concept'. This section wants to know about the key concepts
that are represented in the application - ie your domain model or
entity classes. Also, if there is some really dominant pattern
that helps explain how your whole system is going to function -
like 'event driven interaction between components', or 'data
access object encapsulate persistence system', then mention that
here.
8. Architectural Framework - this where you typify your
application by calling it 'basically a client-server model' (or
10. not) - or 'the architecture uses a layered style, separating user
interfaces from business logic and persistence mechanisms.
Also that it is partitioned into your functional components.
Basically, here is where you say how you divided the system up
into functional and technical components, and whether there is
some overarching 'architectural style' that you can relate it to.
9. Architectural Views. OK there is a mismatch here between
the template and what I really want - but you don't have to
include anything here anyway - you only have to refer to the
diagrams that are requested in other parts of the assignment.
What we are producing as 'architectural views' corresponds to
Kruchten's 4+1 Views as described in the Kruchten article in the
Asg2 resources, and also that FCGSS_US_WP pdf - which tells
you what UML 2 diagrams correspond with what views.
Essentially its like this:
Logical view - Class diagram - Asg2 Part B Section a. The
logical view basically shows the class collaboration necessary
to support the CCRD use case according to the architecture that
you have designed. Its a bit like the summary analysis class
diagram, except that it shows all the classes involved in
supporting the use case, including the user interface, controller,
and other 'infrastructure classes. The logical diagram shows
everything you would need to implement that single CCRD use
case according to your architecture - so it shows what would be
necessary to support the NFRs, as well as just the functional
requirements - so if there is some need to store things in a
database, the logical diagram would show the classes necessary
to support that. This is where any DAObjects start to show up.
Process View - Sequence diagram - Asg2 Part B Section b. This
is very similar to the sequence diagram we drew for Asg1, but it
shows the details of how the control class is going to support
the user interface you come up with for the crane driver in Part
C, and as in the logical view, it shows how the NFRs are
addressed as well as the functional requirements. So - as above ,
if you are going to store things in a database, we want to see
when those DAObjects are told to update and save as part of the
11. message sequence that supports the use case. Basically, the
message sequence we drew in Asg1 (that is provided to you for
'manual store pallet' in the Asg1
Solution
s) forms a skeleton, which we now flesh out with specific
information need to support the crane driver interface, and also
to conform with and support the NFRs addressed by the
architecture. The message sequence has to be consistent with
the architecture.
Implementation View - Component Diagram Asg2 Part A
Section b. This is a 'high level' view that shows your functional
and technical components. The other thing it has to do is
identify any 3rd party components your application is going to
rely on - like a database implementation, or a web server for
example. The component diagram is for 'implementation' so it
assumes you have actually identified the platform/language you
are going to implement in. In terms of development this is an
important diagram because it does things like identify what
versions of what libraries you are going to need - and that the
developers have to stick to.
Deployment View - Deployment Diagram Asg2 Part A Section
c. This is a complementary high level view that shows how your
high level components are laid out on the actual hardware of the
12. deployment environment - its a pretty straight derivative of the
component diagram with the addition of 'hardware nodes'. The
trick is that your components have to respect hardware
boundaries, and any 'inter-node' communication has to
incorporate some sort of network communication - so there's
another technical component you are going to need - probably
on every node in the system.
Use case View - not required for this assignment, but basically
its job is to provide a context for the other views.
Anyway the point here is that you don't have to duplicate all
these diagrams in the architecture notebook - you just have to
identify them, and reference the other parts of the assignment
