Lab $05$: Interface Interaction and Data Gathering

v Understanding of the interaction of different interfaces style along withdata gathering.

Activity Outcomes

v The students will know that in Human computer interaction course,each device has different types of interaction

v Students will be aware of the advantages and disadvantages ofusing different interaction styles

v The students will know how to improve the customer satisfactionby using questionnaire

v Understanding of the interaction of different interfaces style along with data gathering

Exercise $1$

Pick a couple of computer input devices that you are aware of $($joystick$,$ light pen, touch screen, trackball, eyegaze etc.$)$ and note down how each has different attributes that support certain forms of interaction. You ought to know a little about all of these devices $-$ if you do not, research them.

Input Device Attributes Interaction

Exercise $2$

Describe briefly $($e$.$g$.$ advantages, disadvantages, problems, and solutions$)$ four different interaction styles used to accommodate the dialog between user and computer.

Interaction styles: Command line interface, Menus, Natural language, Question$/$answer$,$ query dialogue, Form$-$fills and spreadsheets, WIMP interface, Point$-$and$-$click interfaces, and Three$-$dimensional interfaces.

Interaction Description

Exercise $3$

In data gathering, sometime you need to ask some question regarding the working project from the client, or people related to any profession. For this purpose, in this lab you will design questionnaires. There are two types of questionnaires you will design:

$($i$)$ Questionnaire for Course Evaluation

$($ii$)$ Questionnaire for Customer Satisfaction

$($i$)$ QuestionnaireforCourseEvaluation

There are some points for your consideration in this type of questionnaire:

a$.$ You should include both close type of questions $($YES$/$NO or RATING type$),$ and open questions $($WRITE YOUR COMMENT TYPE$)$ in the questionnaire.

b$.$ The questions can be covering the following topics and you can add other questions if you want.

a$.$ Interestingness of the course b$.$ Contents of the course c$.$ Usefulness of the course

d$.$ Pace of the course

e$.$ Material used in the course

f$.$ Purpose of the course

g$.$ Best thing about the course

h$.$ Worst thing about the course i$.$ Comments about the course

For example

The first point can be converted into the following question:

Do you find the course interesting?

The response could be in the form of multiple choices of yes, no$,$ somewhat. Alternatively, the question can be asked the following way:

How interesting was the course?

In this case the response format can be a scale from $1$ to $10.$ Similarly convert other points into questions too.

The LAST THREE POINTS can be used as an example of OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS: For example: $$Describe the thing that you like the best about this course$.$

At the top of the page you have to create areas for specifying course name, number etc.

$($ii$)$ Questionnaire for Customer Satisfaction

Similarly, another questionnaire will be designed for customer satisfaction. The points to include are:

o Price of the Product Market Availability Usability

o Product Awareness

o Offering New Version after sometimes Who can buy?

o Physical Structure Taste

o Other Product having same taste or color Providing Feedback Materials

Follow above these points and prepare the questionnaire as discussed in point $($i$).$
