Modern HCI recognizes the multifaceted nature of design approaches that cater
to diverse user needs and contexts. Four significant design strategies include
user-centered design, activity-centered design, systems design, and genius
design. Each of these approaches offers unique insights and methodologies for
crafting effective interfaces.
1. Using the design approaches discussed in Chapter 2, propose a design for
a software prototype for one of these groups of users:
a. Remote Workers
b. Travelers
c. Students
d. Healthcare Professionals
2. Your software prototype can be of any platform – web, mobile, stand-alone,
wearable, etc. Your tasks are:
• Name your software prototype and elucidate its aim, objective(s), and the
specific problem it seeks to address. Also, specify which design
approach(es) from Chapter 2 you are primarily leveraging and why.
3. Requirements Gathering:
• Engage potential users through an online survey, interviews, or
observations, tailored to your chosen user group. Aim for at least 10
survey responses and conduct two interviews or observations (or a
combination).
4. Summarizing Findings:
• Analyze and present your findings, focusing on user needs, tasks, and

The design phase is a precursor to prototyping. This involves visualizing and
detailing the UI design. Based on your discoveries from Part One, articulate how
the prototype will be fashioned and function. Your tasks involve:
•
Conceptualizing the Design:
o Craft at least three preliminary layouts that represent user requirements,
the problems the prototype intends to solve, and the envisioned user
interactions.
o Explain how the chosen design approach(es) from Chapter 2 influenced
these conceptual designs. For instance, if activity-centered design was a
primary choice, how does the design cater to specific user activities?
o Simple sketches or wireframes can be utilized for this task.
•
Concrete Design:
Convert your conceptual designs, enriching them with specifics like colors,
auditory cues, graphics, menus, icons, etc. Dive deeper into design nuances as
discussed in Chapters 7 and 12. Employ any visual design software you’re
comfortable with.

Prototyping brings your designs from Part Two to life, emphasizing interactivity.
Design the interactive elements, ensuring users can explore and engage with
the UI for eventual feedback during evaluations. While your prototype doesn’t
need to be fully operational, it should be demonstrative of the intended final
product. Utilize any visual programming platform of your choice.
•
For every interface screenshot, describe its function, its state transitions,
and underline any UX methodologies applied to minimize user errors.
Chapter 13 provides insights into UX design patterns.

Evaluation determines the prototype’s usability and user acceptance based on
UX benchmarks. Select at least three potential users, ideally those you
previously interviewed or who participated in your survey. Execute a User
Acceptance Test (UAT) with these individuals and analyze their feedback with
these criteria:
1. Gauge the average user satisfaction based on the prototype’s goals and
