COURSEWORK PART 1: WORK TO BE COMPLETED IN A SMALL GROUP (4 max)

This part of the coursework assignment is worth 27% of Module mark available.

Please choose one of the three concepts below and let the lecturer/tutor know.

(NB: please note the first 3 groups for each concept are guaranteed that they will be assigned that concept afterwards a random allocation of concepts will be made) :

1.  Design a gamified approach which allows users to understand code security and helps them to write secure code themselves as well as identify insecure code snippets from third parties. The focus of this fun and interactive gamified approach should be on children from the age of 11-16, who may not have had formal software engineering training/education. There must be at least 3 different modalities used in the game, one of which must be voice.”

2.  People from different minority-ethnic backgrounds, of various age groups and with varying levels of English linguistic fluency (consider reading, writing/typing, speaking, listening) want to access critical online services related to health, social housing and energy. Create a solution which utilises a raspberry-pi and sensors to help them get vital notifications, alerts, announcements etc. Make sure to use multiple modalities to fit the needs of your users allowing tangible interaction without a screen.

3.  Design an application that helps users to meet lifestyle goals in an interactive and fun nature. This may include walking the user through meal preparation in real time or during the undertaking of exercise activities. Assume that at times when the user is performing activities as guided by the application, that interaction should be easily accessible. Some of your users have an accessibility issue, your group must decide what type of issue. You need to include three different interaction modalities in your design. One must be voice, and one gestures.

The above concepts are deliberately open ended because at this level of academic work you are expected to be able to plan how to tackle real world problems.

You are assessed on the quality of the design, the thoroughness of your background research, and most importantly the quality (in terms of Advanced Human

Computer Interaction) of the prototype produced. You do not need to produce a fully working prototype, but at least some parts must be interactive depending on the concept, and at least two task pathways should be able to be completed by a user.

Before starting the coursework it is important that you acknowledge that it must be designed for and work for the END USER(S) specified. Whatever you design should be designed to cater to the needs of your user group, for example your user group may need the design to reflect weak eyesight or certainly learning difficulties (e.g. dyslexia).

.     For Concepts 1 and 3, there should be an interactive and clickable prototype on Figma.

.     For Concept 2, there should be flow chart (or similar diagram type) on Figma

showing the intended interaction as well as a hardware prototype implemented on Raspberry Pi.

3. The Design Report (section 2) (25 marks)

A report that contains the requirements gathering & planning (see section 1 above) and  explanation of the design of the prototype. The report should contain annotated versions of the final prototype screenshots (concepts 1 & 3) or interaction diagrams (concept 2)   and should explain how the group implemented Advanced Human Computer Interaction  concepts throughout. Your report should be succinct (no more than 4500 words).

4.  Presentation & Demo (Week 7 Friday session Edinburgh or xx session Dubai (5 marks)

Each group will have approximately 10 minutes to present their final prototype to one of   the class lecturers or tutors. The prototype must be demoed and available for the tutor to check that two tasks can be completed using the partially functioning prototype.

SUBMISSION

There should be two files

1. A Design Report submission should consist of one PDF with all

individual surnames, and HWU email addresses clearly shown.

2. A .fig file downloaded from Figma, containing the prototype design with at least one of the group members surname and email address clearly shown.

PART 1 SUBMISSION TIME AND DATE: 1530 (UK TIME) MONDAY 4TH  MARCH (week 8)

COURSEWORK PART 2: Evaluation & Evaluation Report

This part of the coursework assignment is worth 20% of Module mark available.

PART 2 SUBMISSION TIME AND DATE: A Digital version of the Coursework should be submitted via Canvas no later than 3:30pm (UK TIME) on Thursday March 28th

(week 11).

Very Important!! This Coursework Assignment is to be completed individually.

Please read through this document carefully before you begin to work on your assignment.

NB. Before emailing the course lecturer please ensure:

1. You have taken the opportunity to ask questions in the labs/tutorials.

2. That there are no more labs/tutorials at which you have time to ask the question(s).

3. That you have asked the question(s) at relevant times during one of the lectures or asked at the end of a lecture.

4. That you have checked this coursework hand out.

5. That you have gone to one of the tutor office hours on Fridays 1200-1300 to ask any questions.

Assignment task overview:

1.  Evaluation Methods and Protocol

You need to design an evaluation that will show you how well the design of your assigned group prototype works in practice. You will need to conduct an evaluation study online or in person with 3-5 users. Your classmates will act as users for you and you will act as users for them. You must evaluate both parts of the original design e.g. the interface created and the interaction.

Undergraduate students: You must choose 2 methods 1 qualitative and 1 quantitative. These must be two entirely separate methods e.g. a questionnaire even if it is in a

different format still only counts as one method. You must be sure to critically justify

your selections in terms of Advanced Human Computer Interaction using research from top level journals and conferences. This research must be suitably referenced using

Harvard style formatting. You must further present 1 method that you did not choose and explain why it was not suitable again you must justify this using HCI research literature.

MSc level students: you must select 2 qualitative and 2 quantitative methods for your evaluation and critically justify in terms of Advanced Human Computer Interaction

research why they are suitable. These must be entirely separate methods e.g. a questionnaire even if it has qualitative and quantitative questions only counts as one method). You must also present two methods you did not select and say why  they were not suitable. You must be sure to critically justify your selections in terms of Advanced Human Computer Interaction using research from top level journals and conferences. This research must be suitably referenced using Harvard style formatting.
