Description
In this Project Checkpoint, you will critique the interaction design of your app based on the principles in the Lectures from Weeks 8, 9, and 10 to identify 7 interaction design weaknesses and then revise your interaction design and app to address these weaknesses.
- You should provide separate URLs for (1) the previous HW5 version of your web app and (2) the new, updated HW6 version of your web app.
- Critique the HW5 version of your web app using the principles and guidelines outlined in the Site Design, Interaction Techniques, and Preventing Error lectures and readings, identifying 7 weaknesses of the interaction design. For each weakness, provide a (1) representative screenshot of the issue and (2) a one paragraph explanation of the weakness referencing the underlying principle, guideline, or theory. Across the 7 weaknesses you identify, you should make use of at least 5 distinct principles, guidelines, and theories.
- Address the interaction design weaknesses by revising the interaction design for your web app. For each weakness, provide (1) a representative screenshot of the new design and (2) a short paragraph describing the change you made and how it addresses the issue.
- In grading your assignment, we will evaluate the (1) degree to which the identified weaknesses follow from the interaction design principles, guidelines, and theories and (2) the effectiveness with which the changes address the identified issues.
