Due during your IT classes in the week ending October 15th 2004
This time I want everybody to read this brief carefully and complete their work according to its requirements. (this one will attract a grade)
Make an evalution of one of the following information systems:
A media rich website - one that uses animation sounds and menus to navigate - it must have a minimum of 30 pages.
An information kiosk
A console game
Make screen shots (use a digital camera or a phone camera if the system won't allow screen shots).
This wiil require detailed description of the systems and some comment on its effectiveness for its purpose and its users justifying your remarks by reference to the system.
Pay particular attention to the following:
Identify the main user group: age, gender, social class, education, language.
The appropriateness of the design for the users and the purpose.
The navigation system what are the limitations of this- eg most cellphones use text based menu (only useful for speakers of certain languages).
Is it a pain to use (like some cellphones - using a linear system of menus and sub menus, where theuser must return to the top level to do anything new, or is it like many websites which use non-linear hypertext links) how well does this work.
The physical requirements of the interface - what are the limitations of these for some users.
At all times in this assignment you must be thinking how could this system be improved - make some suggestions.
