What is your subject about? A brief overview

This subject provides an advanced study of Interface Design and Evaluation. The subject will look at
various contexts that affect interface design and will employ both design and usability principles to
evaluate and design interfaces. It includes the creation of usability testing strategies to ensure that
both the design and usability requirements are met as well as the evaluation of test results.

On successful completion of this subject, you should:
be able to explain the relevance of integrating aspects of the human, social and
organisational context into the design process;
be able to demonstrate and articulate the importance of the principles of design that are
applicable to the design of an interface;

Learning, teaching and support strategies

How you are expected to engage with the subject
All of your subject materials are available on the Interact site under the Topics link in the left hand
side menu. I suggest that for each topic you read the learning objectives carefully, read the overview,
quickly skim the text to get an idea of the topic and then watch any videos included in the topic. Once
you have an idea of the topic's content, try and make a good set of notes under each of the headings
in the topic. This will start to give you a good understanding of the topic and will assist you
remember everything in the assignments and exam.
In this subject we will meet for a 3-hour session where we will discuss that weeks topic. Before you
come to class you need to have looked at the online activities in the Interact site and read the text so
that you can contribute to the class and derive more meaning from the activities that we will do in
class. We will spend class time working through the topic questions, discussing them and preparing
responses. In addition we may use video, games and case studies to enhance understanding of certain
topic areas.
It is helpful to have a small task to complete early in the session so that you have a focus in the
subject from the very first day, and so I have set a small practical design assignment in week 2 as part
of your assessment. If you dont attempt this assignment, I may contact you by phone or email to have
a chat about study and if there are any issue that I can help with.
The modules for this subject have been written specifically to guide you through the sections (and
questions) of the prescribed textbook relevant to each topic.
You should check the Interact2 Site at least weekly for postings, announcements, lecture information
and other resources that will assist your studies or additional information and resources vital to your
success in the subject.
Studying at university does not mean studying alone. During class you will have an opportunity
to interact the lecturer as well as your peers.

Use the subject schedule to plan your studies over the session.

Alternative submission method
Task
You are to prepare the project scope and initial requirements and assumptions for a new Interface
Design project. This project may be either:
The online gift shop case study that is located in the ITC504 Interact Resources folder, or
A project that you are doing as part of your employment, or are proposing or planning to do.
You are to prepare a Project Brief for this project. The project brief will set the basis for the rest of
your assignment work in ITC504.
You should approach this project as a blue sky project. That is, you are going to design and develop
an interface that is different to those that you have previously worked on. This means that your
planning will necessarily be somewhat more diffident as you will be doing research during the
planning and design process to achieve your design aims.
Your project brief should include the following sections:
Overview
Vision
Outcomes
Scope
Objectives, Outputs and Targets
Success Criteria
Key assumptions
The project brief should concentrate on the Overview, Vision, Outcomes, Scope and Key Assumptions at
this stage. These sections define your vision for the project and should be quite well developed.
The Objectives and Success Criteria may not be well known at this stage, but some effort should be
made to determine what they are. These will be added to later in the project.
Rationale
The rationale for this assignment is to test students ability to capture, develop and understand user
requirements for an interface design project. The assignment will also test the ability of students to
understand the constraints that are inherently contained in requirements.

Value: 25%
Due date: 14-Apr-2017
Return date: 10-May-2017
Length: 3 pages
Task
Project Design Proposal
Your project brief has been accepted by Senior Management and a design project has been formally
commenced. You have been appointed as both Project Manager and Chief Designer for the project.
Your tasks are to:
1. Update your project brief with full details of:
Objectives, Outputs and Targets,

Success Criteria.
2. Write a Project Design Proposal that covers the following:
Design aims;
Outline of the proposed design;
Proposed evaluation methods.
Your first task updates your initial project document. The update should now reflect the complete user
requirements and your objectives, outputs and targets for the project. This update will probably not
exceed two (2) pages.
The Project Design Proposal should outline firstly your design aims for the project and how they
will meet the user requirements.
You should then give a brief outline of your design. This should be mainly written, rather than be
drawn, and you should describe and discuss HOW your design will enhance the user experience (UX)
of the user while meeting their requirements,
You may also want to refer to design principles to support your argument.
Finally, you need to discuss how you will test your design for usability, UX, and its fit to the
requirements. Again you will want to support your argument with reference to principles. You do not
need to produce a full test plan at this time.
Rationale
The rationale of this assignment is to test students ability to capture, develop and understand user

requirements for an interface design project and develop those requirements into Objectives, Outputs
and Targets. From the requirements, the student should also be able to develop the Success Criteria for
the design. The assignment will also test the ability of students to plan and develop a design that meets
the user requirements and enhances the user experience.

Requirements
Assessment Information
Learning materials
Details of learning materials that support your success in this subject can be found in the
Interact2 Subject Site.
Referencing
Referencing is an important component of academic work. All assessment tasks should be
appropriately referenced. The specific details of the referencing requirements are included in
each assessment task description. Get referencing style guides and help
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu) to use for your assessments.
Plagiarism
CSU treats plagiarism seriously. We may use Turnitin to check your submitted work for plagiarism.
You can use Turnitin to check for plagiarism
(http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu/checking) in your assessments before
submission.
How to apply for special consideration

Academic regulations provide for special consideration to be given if you suffer misadventure or
extenuating circumstances during the session (including the examination period) which prevents
you from meeting acceptable standards or deadlines. Find the form on the Student Portal Special
Consideration, Misadventure, Advice and Appeals (http://student.csu.edu.au/study/academic-advice)
page.
Extensions
In order to ensure that students who hand their assignments in on time are not disadvantaged, and to
enable the lecturer to comply with the requirement to return assignments to the class within 21
days, the following rules about extensions will be strictly enforced:
1. Extensions cannot be granted for online tests, as these have to be done within a specific time
frame, after which the answers are released to the class automatically.
2. Computer problems and normal work-related pressures and family commitments do not
constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions.
3. If it becomes obvious that you are not going to be able to submit an assignment on time
because of an unavoidable problem, you must submit your request for an extension to the
Subject Coordinator in writing (email or post) prior to the due date.
Requests for extensions will not be granted on or after the due date so you must make sure
that any extension is requested prior to the day on which the assignment is due.
You are expected to do all you can to meet assignment deadlines. Work and family related
pressures do not normally constitute sufficient reasons for the granting of extensions or
incomplete grades.
4. If you apply for an extension, you may be asked to email your lecturer on what you
have done so far on the assignment.
5. You must be able to provide documentary evidence (such as a certificate from a doctor or
counsellor) justifying the need for an extension as soon as practicable - but please note that if

the circumstances giving rise to the request for an extension arise on a day when you cannot
get documentary evidence, you must still apply for the extension before the due date and
submit the documentary evidence afterwards.
6. Given the tight deadlines involved in returning assignments to students and putting feedback
on Interact, the maximum extension granted generally will be seven (7) days from the
due date.
7. Assignments received more than 10 days after the due date or extension date will not be
marked unless the staff member decides otherwise. Items received late will be penalised at
10% of the mark available for the assessment item per day it is late (see below).
8. Note that for purposes of measuring lateness, the 'day' begins just after 00.00 hrs AEST - so
an assignment received after midnight of the due date will be penalised 10% for lateness.
This rule will be applied to all students uniformly.
Penalties for Late Submission

The penalty for late submission of an assessment task (without obtaining the Subject
Coordinator's approval for an extension) will be:
10% deduction per day, including weekends, of the maximum marks allocated for the assessment
task, i.e. 1 day late 10% deduction, or 2 days late 20% deduction.
An example of the calculation would be:
Maximum marks allocated = 20

Penalty for one day late = 2 marks (so, a score of 18/20 becomes 16/20 and a score of 12/20
becomes 10/20).
If an assignment is due on a Friday but is not submitted until the following Tuesday, then the penalty
will be four days (40% deduction or 8 marks in the example above).
Submissions more than 10 days late will be acknowledged as received but will not be marked.
Resubmission
Under normal circumstances resubmission of assessment items will not be accepted for any of
the assessments required in this subject.
Online Submission
Assignments should be submitted through TurnItIn. Please meet with your respective lecturer to enroll

Under normal circumstances postal submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.
Hand Delivered Submission

Under normal circumstances hand delivered submissions will not be accepted for any of the
assessments required.

Assignment Return
You should normally expect your marked assignment to be returned to you within 15 working days
of the due date, if your assignment was submitted on time. If you submitted your assignment on time
but have not returned by the return date, you should make enquiries in the first instance to the
subject lecturer. If the subject lecturer is not available, contact Level 1, Reception.
Student Feedback and Learning Analytics

Evaluation of Subjects
CSU values constructive feedback and relies on high response rates to Subject Experience Surveys
(SES) to enhance teaching. Responses are fed back anonymously to Subject Coordinators and
Heads of Schools to form the basis for subject enhancement and recognition of excellence in
teaching. Schools report on their evaluation data; highlighting good practice and documenting how
problems have been addressed. You can view a summary of survey results via the Student Portal
SES Results (https://student.csu.edu.au/study/subject-experience-survey-results) page.
We strongly encourage you to complete your online Subject Experience Surveys. You will be
provided with links to your surveys via email when they open three [3] weeks before the end of
session.
