MODULE 3: CONCEPTUALIZING INTERACTION DESIGN

PROOF OF CONCEPT

What is an assumption?

• A. Stating something to be true when it is still open to question

• B. A high-level description of how a system is organized and operates

• C. Enabling design teams to ask specific questions about how the conceptual model will be understood

• D. Taking something for granted when it needs further investigation

What is a claim?

• A. Taking something for granted when it needs further investigation

• B. Stating something to be true when it is still open to question

• C. A high-level description of how a system is organized and operates

• D. Enabling design teams to ask specific questions about how the conceptual model will be understood

Enables design teams to ask specific questions about how

the conceptual model will be understood

Prevents design teams from becoming narrowly focused

Allows design teams to establish a set of commonly agreed

terms

What is a conceptual model?

• A. An interface designed to be similar to a physical entity

• B. A high-level description of how a system is organized and operates

• C. An interaction type that involves manipulating virtual or physical objects

• D. A kind of interface used to support the interaction, such as command or menu-based

Interface designed to be similar to a physical entity but also

has own properties.

What is the benefit of using interface metaphors?

• A. Makes learning new systems easier

• B. Helps users understand the underlying conceptual model

• C. Can be very innovative and enable the realm of computers and their applications to be made more accessible to a greater diversity of users

• D. Select ALL

What is the problem with using interface metaphors?

• A. Can constrain designers in the way that they conceptualize a problem space

• B. Break conventional and cultural rules

• C. Conflicts with design principles

• D. Select ALL
