The document discusses the evolution of user interface design from the 1970s to the 1990s. It notes that early screen design in the 1970s contained unclear headings and required manuals for understanding. Screens in the 1980s began following design guidelines and provided clearer headings and prompts. Screens in the 1990s incorporated graphics and used menus, buttons, and other controls rather than function keys to provide an intuitive interface. The document traces how interface design has focused on improving clarity, organization, and usability over time.

Project Outline
The project aims at designing a software system in an attractive tourist city. The system will help the visitors to access various kind of information as well as support from the authority of the attraction site. For example, an English-speaking person visiting a tourist attraction site in another country that doesn’t speak English. He or she will use the system to access various services such as a request for a tour guide.
The city that I will concentrate on is Piazza del Campo, which is the Center of History in Siena, Italy. It holds a large public space which dominating the Siena’s historic center. It presents the beautiful and unique medieval squares with a red paving of brick, clam design of shells, and a wide area. The piazza has nine divisions of pie-shaped wedges, all radiating out from the square’s lowest point that is at the face of the Town Hall, referred to as Palazzo Pubblico. It is surrounded by precious public buildings, residences, and cafes’ that are attractive to many visiting tourists and the locals in the area.
Various major categories for the interface of the user will be supported. They will include firstly, graphical user interface accepting the input via a computer mouse and a keyboard. Secondly, touchscreen interface displays accepting inputs through a touch of the stylus or a finger. Thirdly, conversational interfaces enabling the user to direct the computer using plain text and voice commands rather than graphical elements. Fourthly, gesture interface accepting input in the form of mouse or hand gestures.
The system is intended even to support people with disabilities. The gesture interface will take care of those with hearing impairment. Conversational support means will help people with visual impairment. Others with disabilities, for example, missing fingers can use the graphical user or the touchscreen interfaces.User Interface Technical Requirements
There are many technical requirements for the kiosk. Input devises to support the interaction capabilities will include a computer mouse, a keyboard, a voice receptive control device, a stylus for touching purposes, and a touchscreen. For easy application by the users, a standard keyboard will be used. The voice control should be able to capture sounds appropriately to reduce the probability of error. The touchscreen should be having a display length of twenty-four inches for more comfortable use by all the visitors.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

SYLLABUS
5. What is User Interface?
What is Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
alternatively Man–Machine Interaction (MMI) or
Computer–Human Interaction (CHI).
It is the study of interaction between people
(USERS) and COMPUTERS.
6.
7. The user interface is the part of a computer and its
software that people can see, hear, touch, talk to, or
otherwise understand or direct.
User interface design is a subset of a field of study
called human-computer interaction (HCI).
Human-computer interaction is the study, planning, and
design of how people and computers work together so
that a person’s needs are satisfied in the most effective
way.
8.
9. UID designers must consider a variety of factors:
◦ what people want and expect.
◦ physical limitations and abilities people possess.
◦ how information processing systems work.
◦ what people find enjoyable and attractive.
◦ Technical characteristics and limitations of the computer
hardware and software must also be considered.
10. The user interface is the most important part of
any computer system. Why?
Software is a logical entity. It cannot be seen,
touched, heard or felt.
The only way by which we can realize software is
through UI.
It is the system to most users.
11. The user interface has essentially two components:
input and output.
Input is how a person communicates his or her needs or desires
to the computer.
◦ Some common input components are the keyboard, mouse, trackball,
one’s finger, and one’s voice.
Output is how the computer conveys the results of its
computations and requirements to the user.
◦ Today, the most common computer output mechanism is the display
screen, followed by mechanisms that take advantage of a person’s
auditory capabilities: voice and sound.
12. Proper interface design will provide a mix of well-
designed input and output mechanisms that satisfy the
user's needs, capabilities, and limitations in the most
effective way possible.
The best interface is one that it not noticed, one that
permits the user to focus on the information and task at
hand, not the mechanisms used to present the
information and perform the task.
13. With today's technology and tools, and our
motivation to create really effective and usable
interfaces and screens, why do we continue to
produce systems that are inefficient and confusing or,
at worst, just plain unusable? Is it because:
We don't care?
We don't possess common sense?
We don't have the time?
We still don't know what really makes good design?
14.
15. A design is said to be good if it consists of a
combination of well designed input and output
procedures which fulfils the user's requirements in a
successful manner.
A good design is one which possesses the following
features.
◦ It allows its users to focus on the data and activity.
◦ It provides data to its users for performing their activities
without using any specific procedures.
16. The interaction design means designing interactive
products to support people in their everyday and
working lives.
A good-designed interface is very useful to its users for
analyzing the performance of a system.
It is a component that displays several complex
activities given to the system.
A window's layout and looks does leave an impact on
the users.
17. If the design is very complex, confusing and not sufficient enough then
the persons will face problems at their work and commit more mistakes.
Improper designing may develop frustration in people towards the
system and they may stop using it.
Several health problems may also arise like the people become
aggressive, stressful when they do not get what they expect from the
system, quickly and accurately.
18. The most important benefit is that a good design increases the manufacturing rate of
the product and its demand in the market by the users.
A researcher tried to enhance screen clarity and readability by reducing the
elements on the screen. Hence, the distinct objects which had been put on the same
display line to conserve area, were placed on different lines accounted for twenty
percent increase in the screen users. This is due to the reduction of elements on the
screen and better clarity. Productivity increased by 20%
Some researchers manipulated the sequence of screens and which enabled the users to
compute the transactions in twenty-five percent less time and with twenty-five percent
less errors in contrast to those who used original screens.
19.
20. A SYSTEM REQUIRING 4.8 MILLION SCREENS PER YEAR, IF WE MAKE SCREENS WITH WEAK CLARITY THIS
CAUSES THE USERS TO SPEND ONE EXTRA SECOND PER SCREEN. THIS MAY TEND TO DECREASE THE
SCREEN USAGE. HENCE WE SHOULD IMPROVE THE CLARITY OF THE SCREEN WHILE DESIGNING.
21. Good designing principles caused the users to take quick decisions.
The correct layout of data on screens increases performance and
reduces the expenses of the company during its usage.
Good designing minimizes the training costs due to less training
time.
A good design leads to great user satisfaction as stress, frustration
and anger are reduced.
The rate of customers increases due to the satisfactory service
provided to them by a good design interface.
The economical advantage of good design is that it saves a great
amount of money by fixing the errors during the design process
itself rather than fixing them after the product's release.
22. The need for people to communicate with each other has existed
since we first walked upon this planet.
The lowest and most common level of communication modes we
share are movements and gestures.
◦ Movements and gestures are language independent, that is, they permit
people who do not speak the same language to deal with one another.
The next higher level, in terms of universality and complexity, is
spoken language.
◦ Most people can speak one language, some two or more. A spoken language
is a very efficient mode of communication if both parties to the
communication understand it.
23.
24. At the third and highest level of complexity is
written language. While most people speak, not
all can write.
◦ But for those who can, writing is still nowhere near as efficient a
means of communication as speaking.
In modem times, we have the typewriter, another
step upward in communication complexity.
◦ Significantly fewer people type than write. Spoken language, however,
is still more efficient than typing, regardless' of typing skill level.
25. Through its first few decades, a computer's ability to deal with human
communication was inversely related to what was easy for people to do.
The computer demanded rigid, typed input through a keyboard; people responded
slowly using this device and with varying degrees of skill.
The human-computer dialog reflected the computer's preferences, consisting of one
style or a combination of styles using keyboards, commonly referred to as
Command Language, Question and Answer, Menu selection, Function Key
Selection, and Form Fill-In.
26. Throughout the computer's history, designers have been
developing, with varying degrees of success, other human-
computer interaction methods that utilize more general,
widespread, and easier-to-learn capabilities: voice and
handwriting.
Systems that recognize human speech and handwriting now
exist, although they still lack the universality and richness of
typed input.
27. The Xerox systems, Altus and STAR, introduced the mouse and pointing
and selecting as the primary human-computer communication method.
The user simply pointed at the screen, using the mouse as an
intermediary.
Ivan Sutherland at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is
given credit for first introducing graphics with his Sketchpad program in
1963. Lines, circles, and points could be drawn on a screen using a light
pen.
Xerox worked on developing handheld pointing devices in the 1960s and
patented a mouse with wheels in 1970.
In 1974, Xerox patented today’s ball mouse, after a researcher was
suddenly inspired to turn a track ball upside down.
28.

33. Initially, the cathode ray tube was used in screen designing.
In the 1970s, IBM launched its 3270 cathode ray tube text-
based terminal.
The 3270 was used in large number of ways in offices and
companies for good screen designing.
During the 1970s less number of guidelines were available
for designing.
Designing was implemented using hardware and telephone
line transmission issues.
34. The 1970s screen contained several domains with unclear and
unintelligible headings.
The screen was not properly ordered and had a command area that
required an information to the filled and memorized by the user.
A reference to a manual was needed for understanding the unclear
messages displayed on the screen.
The screens displayed green text on black background, thus
restricted to monochrome.
Therefore the screen of the 1970s needed huge amount of toleration
and exercise by the users in order to extract the best from the
screen.
35.
36. In the 1980s a wide variety of design guidelines were launched
in the market for designing screens.
The appearances of screens were made very clear by arranging
and ordering the elements.
An assistance to the user was provided by giving clear and
useful headings for the areas on the screen. Also the
commands were listed nicely and were applied by function
keys.
Messages could be easily interpreted but the screen elements
were not completely ordered.
The screens contained instructions and reminders as prompts
for the users. Certain codes like PR, ST, FU, MD were presented
on the screen to help the users in selection.
37.
38. In the 1990s the introduction of graphics contributed a lot
in screen designing.
A long with arranging and ordering the elements, borders
were also included to usually enhance groupings.
The commands were now handled by buttons and menus
rather than function keys.
Elements had numerous features such as a variety of font
sizes, styles, line thickness and colors.
List-boxes, drop-down combination boxes, spin-boxes
were used for making entries.
The users did not need to memorize anything as everything
was listed in the controls provided on the screen.
The codes were removed from the screen and new listing
control was inscribed.
