Question 1. Simulate the history of UX initially used in product design as a business strategy up to the recent age; as part of IT systems. Justify, for each period, the importance and revolution(s) of UX Research or/and UX Design in to the businesses. You must use at least 500 words to answer this question.
Question 2.
(a) Develop a digital prototype for a renting property management website or mobile application. Use lean startup method for this purpose.
(b) Critically evaluate your software by comparative analysis. Use at least two such systems which are available/used in New Zealand. You must submit the proof of each part of your research. Based on this research, recommend improvements in your software. Improve your prototype based on these recommendations. Use at least one more UX research method for another iteration and give further recommendations for its design.
Part 2 (group assignment part):
Submission Instructions:
• This part must be completed by dividing equal share of work among the group members.
• Use the team agreement form in Appendix A to decide and select your contribution(s) in your group to complete the group assignment part.
• You must submit the solutions to this part in the form a zip folder.
• This zip folder must contain all the material (related to your IT product) including but not limited to the codes, scripts etc that required to complete this part.
• This zip folder must contain an MS Word file in a report format, expressing the whole UX process your group have been through, to complete this task.
• You must add the screenshots and other material(s) inside the MS Word file where ever necessary. For example, if you use Pencil-Project to present your protype, add the pages to your word file.
• The group leader must submit the this zip folder via Moodle Turnitin or email it to [email protected] before the due date of this assignment.
• Make sure that you are using proper referencing before submitting your report.
Projects for Group assignment part
1. There are three different projects attached along with this assignment.
2. Each group will be assigned a project by the lecturer.
3. The instructions or requirements given in the description of each project are partially complete. This little gap is to successfully apply the lean start up method. However, further information can be collected at the end of first iteration of the UX cycle.
4. You lecturer will be your client for these projects.
5. You must record each additional requirement during interviews, client meetings or any other mean and you must submit the proof of approval of all such additional requirements.
Question 3. UX Research
a) Create a digital prototype or wireframe for this purpose.
b) State the user testing report describing your participants and your findings.
c) Develop suitable amount of metrics to measure UX and possibly implement in the following part.
d) Conduct user experience by adopting at least two different UX research methods to do your analysis.
e) Based on all the above recommendations and findings, enhance your IT-product and submit the final functional form and highlight the newly research-based features.
Reframe all the tasks in this assignment in the form of a report and submit in the form of a MS Word file.
Project 1
1. This project is to make a desktop application, could be using a suitable platform possibly Python.
2. This project is to make an application that takes a course descriptor abbreviated as CD (an MS word file) as an input and then using the information in CD, it will produce an (almost) empty course kit as an output. An example course kit is folder available on moodle (an empty version).
3. The course kit is a folder containing a specific nested folders that may contain the following files in the corresponding folders:
4. Course Outline (CO): It will be just the template (as an input). However, some of the fileds can be filled by the app to produce draft 0 only.
5. Draft0 for each assessment: Based on the information from CD, draft0 of each of the assessment with some common elements can be developed.
6. Course result Summary: same as in (a) i.e. draft0
7. The name of the files and the folders must be in a prescribed manner. For example, the name of the file in 3 (a) for SOFT808 is "SOFT808--S3--2019--CourseOutline--draft0--SA", where SA are initials of the lecturer.
8. This app must be able to add the details of the new lecturer and then save it for future use.
Project 2
1. This project is to make a desktop application, could be using a suitable platform possibly Python.
2. This project is to make an application that takes a complete course kit as an input and then create a summary of available files, folders as well as empty folders. A sample course kit can be provided via moodle.
3. The summary should contain a tree diagram of the nested folders as well. However, this could be reported in other forms as well.
4. It may also check if any of the folder is password protected or not.
5. This app must also check the name of the files and the folders. These names must be in a prescribed manner. For example, the name of the file in 3 (a) for SOFT808 is "SOFT808--S3--2019--CourseOutline--draft0--SA", where SA are initials of the lecturer.
6. This app must be able to add the details of the new lecturer and then save it for future use.
Project 3
AIS lecturers evaluate a student's presentation using the marking criteria/guide attached in Appendix B, with this assignment. Develop a desktop application for the AIS lecturers so that they can evaluate it electronically and then record their evaluation in its original format (anMS Word file).
