During this lecture we found out that we have new course leaders, at least three of them! This will result in a “shake up” of the current module and will hopefully benefit us as students. We spent the first half of the lecture going over certain rules that we should all abide by, I believe this talk was essential because lectures are currently too noisy. The second half of the lecture we went over the foundations of interaction and iterative design.
The first thing I learnt this week was that I have to give a presentation about my research project, this wasn’t welcome news but acceptable especially when taking into consideration the extension we were given. Important principles of interaction design include: the target audience (needs and requirements), usability, user experience, and evaluation of design faults. I also learnt that the iterative design is used to develop understanding, creating design ideas, and testing out ideas. The “faces” of iterative design are shown in the diagram below.
This week I have been thinking about the type of research method I should use because a questionnaire is no longer applicable to my current research. After speaking to my tutor during the laboratory session, I have decided to use an experiment within a case study. I will have a single participant that will carry out an emotion matching test (match faces showing emotions to the words of those emotion), an intervention (playing the FaceSay game) and will finally take the emotion matching tests again to see if there is any improvement in their results.
