Zoom Audio Transcript

  • Good morning.
  • Morning, Darryl.
  • Good morning. So what program are you using to generate the audio
  • to generate audio?
  • It sounds like you're you're you're using a computer voice.
  • Oh, it might be a Internet connection problem then. Oh, okay, now, you sound like a person. Oh, great!
  • Maybe that's a feature on zoom, that's a newt. they've added. So I had some struggles with Zoom. So how do people was the link working to day? Better?
  • Yeah. The link was working fun.
  • Okay. yeah. So what I did when I I had a hair trigger and I pasted the link twice into the URL. Field. Think that's why it gave so many problems. anyway. Welcome everybody. So I mean. what'd you think of the quiz?
  • There was no questions for me on that quiz. It was completely empty.
  • Yeah, we couldn't access the quiz.
  • Huh? Yeah, I had some. Let me see what happens when I do it. Huh? So I typed in. I typed. It sounds a bit rusty. So this is sort of the novice and expert user dichotomy. So it's not not one or the other. You're on a scale. And so I'm at times quite an expert user on things. But sometimes I end up having to figure out things from scratch again, so I'll go through this and let me share my screen. and then then I can go through the process and see where I forgot to click something. and I'll I'll open the quiz to the end of the day today. Well, yeah, okay, that's okay. So you can see the U. Rcourse's screen now. No, it says. I can't see. I'm okay. So let me go to settings first, and I'll change it to V. This one will be available from it's midnight today. Okay, so add a question. okay, so we're. where do I add questions. anyone see?
  • Maybe maybe check the question, bankhas anything.
  • Okay? There should be. Yeah, there are 2 questions there
  • that
  • yeah. I just realizing here that the name is different. I wanted to make it. It should have had the key in front of it. I don't know why it came up with a different kinds of it, has. There's 2 of them. one with, and one without the prefects. anyway. So there's 2 questions there. So I know they're there. Let me go back to questions. Any ideas how to get the questions from the question bank on to the quiz. I thought I did this last night. It's something on the screen here.
  • is it? Maybe the little add drop arrow below shuffle.
  • Yes, that's right. Took me a few minutes to figure that out again. That was as I dip back to novice. So you can add from the question bank. It tells me there's questions there. so you can select these I can save. Go back to quiz. Just let me save preview it. There's one question. And there's another question. Okay, so let me see, if I switch to a student role. they can actually see the question. I can take the quiz.
  • I just refresh my page here, and it actually allows me to attempt the quiz. Now.
  • Okay, that's good. So another struggle I had yesterday in preparing the quiz as I had the questions sorted out, and I said. and I had in mind. because I'm teaching teaching 2 classes this semester had in mind which questions for which class? And then I but the questions into the wrong class I was. I thought I was being careful to not do that. but I ended up mixing them up. So that was. it could have maybe been a bit more. The class name could be a little more prominent as well. And that's more of a me problem than a you problem. anyway. Okay, so I've made some progress here. So I realized, this link isn't gonna work. It, does it? Yeah. I realize that I am off by one of the quizzes. So I'll have to redo the the links. So I'll get that sorted by Tuesday. Okay, but here I have the transcript from Zoom. If he's noticed this already. anyone. I'm surprised. That fills in the this gives me one solid block of text here. anyway. So there's the Zoom Transcript. the audio transcript, and then there's a chat complete with emojis. so you can let me know if that's helpful or not. Okay. So here are the responses. So I appreciate your responses. So Andrew, and who got it. made a gave a response. We'll get the 2 marks for that. But going forward, I'll be a little more selective in terms of the thoughtfulness of the answer. So if you, if from going forward. If you just put some text in to say you submitted something that that won't get you full marks. and remember it's only you you don't have to answer all 3 questions. One thoughtful answer will get you full marks. anyway. I've so there's that, and it's broken down by the questions. And so here. It's a picture of the whiteboard. so I can. Let's see if I I'm having a bit of trouble with with the pick, with the media uploading the pictures properly. so I've got a work that out as well. so I haven't. Here's my office hours, but I haven't added them yet. but there'll be here from on Monday and Wednesday from one to 4, and I'll give you a zoom option as well. So you come and see me on campus in person, or you can zoom to get to my and office. and if the times of setting out Monday and Wednesday afternoons aren't sufficient, then we can coordinate and make an appointment either or in person or in zoom for some other time during the week. then. So this link now works. So here's the updated version updated information for the sixth edition of the textbook. If you have the fifth edition, that's okay, too. Then Don Norman's sign of everyday things revised and expanded. So I gave you. These are given to you in the Link section. Here's the breakdown of grades that I talked about. So you have to pass the file to pass the class so late. Assignments will never. I'll leave it as a percentage of your grade up to a certain point, and then anyway. Then, if the midterm exam is missed for approved reasons, like you have a doctor's note or something else happened. we can change the the weight or move move the weight from the midterm to the final. But if you miss the final without making arrangements beforehand. then you'll get an NP. As your final grade. So attendance is expected, of course, meetings. and you are encouraged to record your attendance on your courses. So does everyone see where how to do that. Okay? So in the chat. so in zoom, if you send me a direct message, then I need to reset it. Can you see the menus coming up on my shared screen. Okay. so what happens when you send me a direct message? Then it it's set to reply to the person who sent me the direct message. so please don't send me direct messages. because I might try. It might be the occasion. If I don't notice it's set to be a direct message. Then I'll send it back to the person, but not to the whole group. So I please don't. Okay. So Midterm is Tuesday. arch. fifth and final. Okay. so just say exact details of exam delivery to be determined. Hmm, yeah. So I would say. likely we'll do. We won't. Following the pattern of past. We'll do some, not something not proctor track for the mid term. and we might do proctor track. Then we would could use Proctor track for the final. That's the likely scenario. That's the most likely scenario. But still some details be worked out. Is that okay? So likely not. Proctor track for the midterm. yeah. Okay. okay, so let me finish going through this. The syllabus here. Okay? So I was at the point. So if you've missed doing the response from yesterday. Don't. I'm not going to reopen it, but don't worry, because well, I won't. I will drop 2 of the responses from your Mark's calculation. So if we have 25 responses, because you won't respond to the midterm. then I would count 23 of them in determining your grade. Does that make sense. So you still have the chance for full marks. even if you missed the first one. Okay? And does the attendance seem okay. hey? So I welcome your comments about the process and how to make things flow flow better. So the text. the main book that interaction design talks about, or the title, the subtitle of the book is beyond human computer interaction. So it's not just about designing computer interfaces. We were talking about designing experiences. So we can think about designing the design of the course whether the parts are on line or not. So I want to highlight the academic integrity portion here. because it's certainly very important. and and the consequences can be very serious. So if it's very hard to to pass off some other, some work you found on the Internet as your own in most cases. so so don't do it. So so I I'm asking you for your honesty. So if if something happens so. the instant will but get get reported to the Academic Associate, Dean, Academic and Science. or that's for CS. 4, 28, and otherwise it'll get report to the associate, Dean FGSR. For 7 30. So I have the first link. Here is the academic integrity, Hub urijiyan.ca. then here the next one is the reference to the undergraduate calendar. 4, 28 students. and then the last one is for grad studies for the 7 30 students. So if your need of accommodations contact the accessibility center for student accessibility. Because I need a letter and I need to discuss it with you before those accommodations can be granted. Okay. so here's a breakdown of weeks and topics and references. So what's not included here is who have a supplemental Ta. who will also have some office hours. So I that's still being worked out. So that's the only addition to the syllabus. So if you have questions. let me know. So while I'm here, let me. So I'm wondering whether putting this link out will be helpful. so I'll leave that open for a bit in case the other 12 people who have a group. I thought, that sounds like me, and it is me. And while I'm not sharing the screen oh. I'm looking in. Does that seem. Do you think that would be a good view to share instead of just the transcripts? So the audio transcript follows the video. But the chat messages don't seem to do that. anyway. I'll look into doing that. So here's our whiteboard from yesterday. So there's page 2. But there's nothing on page 2. This has given me a lot of problems last night. So I'm not sure this is a a great way to do to do things. We'll we'll try again, maybe today. Then let's see surveys. Here's the results we had yesterday. So I have.
  • And
  • another image I want to show you. Okay. my car is in the shop. So I have a rental car. and the person gave me a breakdown of the controls and different things. and then they went back into the office, and I sat there and I looked for how to put the car in gear. So there is the means to change the gear in this picture. Can you find it? Yeah. So I haven't driven Gmcs. So sometimes when we're does things get designed? It's not necessarily the most efficient or effective design which could be determined by testing. but it might be we need. The requirement is to have something different than other manufacturers. So like the car I have is afford. And so the gears are on a knob which is over here. Yeah. So the buttons are here. Oh, I have to do something else. So I'm getting a open. a need to give some permission to. Oh. is that better? I'm looking at all the options on zoom. So park is push. reverse is pull neutral is push and drive his pull. and then this is the semi-automatic, semi-manual option. They have the plus minus to adjust to give the driver some sense of control. But anyway, on the ford this is a gear shift here approximately so. The the dial is an improvement over the physical stick shift. On earlier cars. I have an earlier Ford fusion. and I occasionally leave it in drive when I park it, and if it's cold like to day, that'll drain the battery in no time flat. It's also a danger, because if I'm on an incline. and I shut the engine off with the with the car in not in park it could roll away. and some years ago the actor who played chuck off on the New Star Trek series of movies was killed when his vehicle wasn't parked properly the same kind of issue. And well, I don't know more details than that. but it's a pot. It's a certainly a big issue. So whether it's a knob for the gears or buttons. The improvement in recent models is that the car puts itself in park when the vehicle is turned off. So I was at London drugs yesterday. This is another experience with with the idea of novice and expert. So there's a London drugs app. So they you ever go to lending drugs, they have this LD extra program for points. So every time you buy something you get. you accumulate some points. But the app. I feel is not designed to encourage people to redeem points. Last time I used it a couple months ago someone explained it to me, and it seemed all right. But then, when I tried to use it last night, I had some problems again. and the person at the the cashier wasn't clear about it either. And so it took me a few minutes to figure things out again. But to me that's a case when things are designed. not with the most effective or efficient approach. but the one that's meeting some other goals. So I asked you to look at the first chapter. any thoughts about that. Okay? So I don't. The questions in the quiz are related to usability goals and user experience. So I don't want to get too much into that. I wanted to bring up before we go here. usability heuristics that were first published in 1994, and they were updated in 2020. And there's still a very useful approach to think about interface is so. So we have the visibility of system. Status design shows keep users informed about what is going on through appropriate feedback within a reasonable amount of time. A. The match between system and the real world design should speak the user's language and use words, phrases and concepts familiar to the user rather than internal jargon. Oh, real world conventions making information appear in a natural and logical order. User control and freedom users often perform actions by mistake. They need a clearly marked emergency exit to leave the underwater action without having to go through an extended process. So an undo is always helpful. Consistency in standards. Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing. follow platform and industry, conventions. error, prevention, good error. Messages are important, but the best designs carefully prevent problems from occurring. In the first place. either eliminate error-prone conditions or check for them. and present uses with a confirmation option before they commit to action recognition rather than recall. So we want to minimize the user's memory load by making elements actions and options visible. The user should not have to remember information for one part of the interface to another. Information required to use the design should be visible or easily retrievable when needed. so that seemed appropriate with my experience in the LD. Extra app. So I'll post a couple screenshots, and so on for next day recall might be better for exams and then better than recognition. But if you want to make things easier for the user. the person and the system then important to not but too many obstacles in the way that said, we don't want to do too much for the users, so they don't stay in the loop that they're not engaged in the process. If we just have dialog boxes. we just have to click. dismiss, or okay, or yes. there might be a time when an important dialogue box comes up where you don't want to say OK. So we want to keep people alert enough to realize when their actions are required, and when important situations come up. flexibility and efficiency of use. Shortcuts hidden from novice users may speed up the interaction for the expert user. so the desire can care to both inexperienced and experienced users allow use users to tailor frequent actions. aesthetic and minimalist design interfaces should not contain information that is irrelevant or rarely needed. Every extra unit of information in an interface competes with the relevant units of information and diminishes their relative visibility. Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors. Error messages should be expressed in plain language. no error codes precisely indicate the problem and constructively suggest a solution. Open documentation dispersed. If the system doesn't need any additional explanation. however, it may be necessary to provide documentation to help users understand how to complete their tasks. and it looks like we're out of time. So we went through the syllabus today and a few examples of interfaces. So well, can can you. with have a look at the encyclopedia chapter one that's in the sorry. Yeah. The Encyclopedia chapter one as well as the textbook. Chapter one. And I've got some. So some work to do. Get things a little more streamlined. So see some improvements for Tuesday. anyway. That's that, I guess. And so oh. say goodbye, and wish you a a good weekend. and we'll see you on Tuesday. Anyone want to turn on their cameras?
  • Have a great weekend.
  • Thanks you, too.
  • Have a good day, sir!
  • Thanks! Take care! Everyone.

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

  • The concept that was discussed today was Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design.
  • How a bad interface could be dangerous in situations like the car that killed someone due to bad interface design.
  • Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design
  • Went over the syllabus
  • Today it was interesting to see how bad car design can actually be. the picture we looked at was a great showcase on bad design
  • How important design is. Daryl showed us the vehicle dashboard where the gearbox system was located on the Dashboard of the car and was difficult to recognize. It is a very odd place for your gear shifter and it makes you take into consideration how design and user-interface is very important
  • Different types of usability goal. Main usability goal is simplicity and efficiency . Like the car gear shifters . If the gear shifters are in unusual spot it's hard for user to find out and adopt the newer ones.
  • User experience, adapt to changes in digital technology.
  • Today we got to know more about the course syllabus and the tentative dates for the Midterms and the finals, also we learned a the basics about Human interaction.
  • The most important concept we learned today was the ten usability heuristics
  • the syallbus document and dates
  • How trying to simplify something can lead to bad design eg the gear shift being removed and implemented as buttons
  • Evolution of UI
  • User design is everywhere, like in the car as one example.
  • The usability heuristics such as user control and freedom
  • The article on 10 heuristics for usability was a new concept to me. Having learned about heuristics in prior computer science course, I never really realized that they can apply to more than just sorting algorithms like I had done in CS 320, 340, and so on. Heuristics can exist for many problems, and do not have to take the form of finding the shortest path from one node to another.
  • Today in the latter half of the course, we encountered some examples of usability heuristics that aid with interface design and implementation. Now, we didn't go into extreme details about each heuristic, but it's important to know that each heuristic is valid and all of them should be seen as a general rule of thumb rather than strict guidelines that one must follow.
  • Usability heuristics as a principled means for ensuring human-focused design. Having a clear list to consider when making a product is very helpful when attempting to achieve a pleasant user experience.
  • I got to learn about what is good and poor design as well as interaction design
  • user centered design
  • The important concept I encountered is usability heuristics, where I learnt about different types of usability goals and a short description of it.
  • I got to see the class's majority agreement on how the gearshift in the car is a bad design. It was interesting to see how some designs can be universally classified as either good or bad. This brings up the question of whether enough research was done before the product was released to gather people's opinions on the design.
  • Today in the class we went over the full course syllabus and discussed grades weightage. We also went through a topic of interactive designs. We studied a car control panel example and tried to figure out it is easy for humans to understand that design or not. And what kind of design one should create which is simple to understand.
  • Today, we learned how important it is to design things in a way that makes them easy for people to use. The design and usability requirements play an important role in userโ€™s experience. The example of the car controls showed how even small changes in where buttons are or how they look can affect how easily users can use them. This class made it clear that when we design things, we need to think about how people will interact with them to make sure it's a good experience for them.
  • The concept of solving problem by different method by example of car transmission change from a rod transmission to button transmission. Example: PRND
  • I thought the car visual in today's lecture was a great illustration of usability requirements. The car is not learnable if the user cannot find the drive mode. It also suggests that the car's learnability is impacted by the design, which takes longer for the user to grasp the controls. We also discussed ten usability heuristics for user interface design, but just provided a high-level overview.
  • The importance of design on user's experience, whether is be cars or programs, the user experience can almost always be made better.
  • Digital Systems
  • We went through different examples of bad design in class like the rental car that uses some kind of a button gear shift instead of the regular stick shift and the LD Extras app. I, personally, also enjoyed learning about the different usability goals from Chapter 1 of the textbook.
  • User friendliness and making things intuitive
  • I encountered the interesting perspective that improving one functionality can make other functionalities worse, like that car with a great spacious middle console area, but accident prone gear buttons. Good design is a balancing act in this way.
  • People driven development as opposed to user driven development
  • 10 Usability Heuristics for UI Design
  • The most important topic of this lecture was an extended introduction to the course syllabus and there also a car interior pic and asked us about its usabilities and changes over the years.
  • How design changes when situation changes
  • The important concept for this lecture was about usability heuristics for user interface and design article shared by DR. Hepting during the session.
  • Usability goals in interactive design (example of poor design with the gear box)
  • The professor discussed the impact of car design on user experience and also talked about the "10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design," which I found important.
  • ususability heuristic and importance of it.
  • Usability goals
  • Usability heuristics for User Interface design
  • We looked on the syllabus, including grading, academic integrity, etc. In addition, we learned about 10 usability heuristics for interface design. A good visibility design, for example, would clearly inform the state of processes with feedbacks and show the next steps to users.
  • The understading of 10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design.
  • Designing
  • An important concept/perspective I learned is there is a lot more that goes into interactive design especially when it comes to people-centered design (user-centered design) the more we as designers/developers get proper engagement from the people who use our products the better these products become for the public to use.

Was there anything today that was difficult to understand?

  • The list of heuristics was fairly easy to understand.
  • Everything that was talked about today was easy to understand.
  • No
  • Not really
  • All the material today was easy to understand, the concepts were well explained
  • Nothing
  • I think it was all easy to understand.
  • Today I did not found anything difficult but from the very first lecture I found that engaging and writing our responses on the white boards was next to impossible and I was not able to bring that up in the first response as i missed the first one.
  • no
  • I was a bit confused on the format of the exam and how it is going to work
  • No everything was simple and easy to understand.
  • No
  • The heuristic visibility of system status
  • Honestly, because most of the lecture was covering the syllabus and fixing the zoom transcripts, there were not any topics that we ran into that I had a lack of understanding of. Once we get deeper into the course, I can imagine there will be more things that I have difficulty understanding.
  • Not difficult to understand, but the example with the vehicle was something I personally never seen before in a car.
  • N/A
  • everything went well
  • Why GMC would put the buttons there for car shifting
  • No, everything was easy to understand.
  • No, there was nothing I found difficult to understand.
  • No I didn't find any topic in todays lecture which was difficult to understand.
  • I understood all concepts.
  • Nothing today too difficult to understand, was jarring to see transmission buttons in the car though that is very funny to me and hard to understand why that was preferable to the regular stick transmission.
  • No it was all perfectly explained and well elaborated.
  • No
  • Why did the car manufacturer make such a strange adjustment? Was it just to stand out?
  • Not at all, the lecture was easy and insightful
  • Usability requirements could have more clearly and throughly
  • no
  • No, not really just would self study the key concepts explained today and that should be fine.
  • I think for me the way it started with an example of car's gear box was tricky. Later with the concepts it was clear.!
  • I found the "10 Usability Heuristics for User Interface Design" a bit difficult to understand, so I will read the article on my own to hopefully gain a clearer understanding.
  • No, it was precise.
  • Nothing at all.
  • No
  • We encountered a difficulty to solve how to post the questions into a quiz on the instructor's view of URCourses.
  • No
  • I think user interaction design is very broad. There are so many things to learn and understand on my own. I wonder what the questions will look like on exam for this HCI course.
  • it was all good but i want to talk more about whiteboard , overall it was interesting but there was some difficulty to operate it. Navigating the Interface was difficult as an individuals i found it challenging to navigate through the features and tools available on a digital whiteboard, especially it's a new or complex system.
  • White board is interesting but we could not able to add our opinion. So, please make it available next time respected Dr. hepting.
  • Whiteboard
  • Not at all, great class!

Was there anything today about which you would like to know more?

  • How to create minimalistic but at the same time flexible and functional design. What methods and programming languages are more suitable and for which purpose.
  • The London drugs app that was designed for people to redeem their points, Professor said it actually does not encourage people to redeem their points. Was this purposefully designed? Considering a big company like London drugs, I think they can afford to design a good interface.
  • Final and Midterm Exam Dates
  • The car gear was interesting to know about
  • Ways to improve the bad design we look at would be interesting!
  • How usability affects different sector of computer science.
  • I would like to more about characteristics of interaction design.
  • I would like to know more about the Basic Human interaction and also all the sub topics covered in it.
  • the design reasonings you started towards the end of class
  • I would like to know more about how to do proper research to correctly design and implement things
  • How digital systems are changed for people
  • I would like to know who designed the GMC gear shift and what they were thinking when they made it.
  • Which chapter on the encyclopedia
  • I really enjoy the real live examples that you used to show us how good/bad design in your own life. The GMC was a great example, and it makes the class feel a lot more real when you bring in aspects of designs you run into in every day life that are either well designed or poorly designed. I look forward to see what other things you can integrate into each lecture from a real life experience.
  • Definitely interested in learning more about design concepts and intuitive design that can help novices quickly become experts. Understanding the theory behind the intuition is always interesting.
  • how interaction design is advancing
  • Difference between people centered and user centered design
  • I'm excited to learn more about designing good software and about Human-Computer Communication
  • Yes I would like to know more about the interactive designs and how can me make it simple for people who are using it so that they can understand it properly.
  • About user interface design similar to 10 rules that we learned today.
  • What engineers thought that transmission buttons in the car are okay or satisfying to use? Did test users rate this higher than a transmission stick?
  • Digital systems is a topic of which I want to know more about.
  • I personally would like to know more about the design decisions to make the gear shift a series of buttons and if more cars companies will adopt it
  • Usability requirements
  • digital materials
  • Yes, I'm interested, regarding the usability concept overall and the upcoming key concepts for the course.
  • I would like to know more about difference between user-centered design vs people-centered design
  • I would like to learn more about Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and its impact. Additionally, I would like to know more about the usability heuristics for user interface design with real-life examples.
  • about the design principle of the car you mentioned.
  • Usability goals
  • I would like to learn more about Usability heuristics for User Interface design
  • I would like to take a look more on example of how the 10 usability that we learned apply in daily life, especially on software products. That would be a great plus in terms of my future career.
  • No
  • yes , i would love to know more about whiteboard.
  • i like way to understand concept with help of car thing which is new and surprising to me. However, it is good to learn in new way of teaching which make student to take part in smalls debits.
  • Design
  • I would love to know who designed that GMC and what their thoughts were in doing so. Would be interesting to see if that was a collective agreement between many groups involved or a decision based off one persons opinion or idea.
