GENERAL INFORMATION

Submission: Canvas Turnitin submission

Assignment weighting: 40% of overall module marks

Word limit: 2500 words (going 10% over the limit is fine; tables, figure captions, and appendices do not count towards the word limit; please note that this is the maximum word count, however, it is absolutely fine to write significantly fewer words, e.g. 1250)

INSTRUCTIONS

For this assignment, you should carry out an evaluation of an existing app (mobile or desktop app, etc.). This should be a task-based app, i.e. in which a user needs to perform one long task (up to 30 minutes) or a set of short tasks (that may take up to 30 minutes in total). Consider looking into open-source software alternatives (e.g. https://www.osalt.com/).

To evaluate the app, you must use an expert evaluation technique (i.e. Nielsen’s heuristics). The evaluation will involve collecting data, drawing up suggestions for design improvements based on your findings, and submitting a report which summarises your research process (i.e. how you conducted the expert evaluation) and results (i.e. what problems you found and how you propose to fix them).

You must conduct this evaluation with yourself and two further people (must be your classmates) acting as experts.

The overall objective of the evaluation is to come up with suggestions on how to improve/enhance the usability or experience of the chosen app. You do not need to implement these improvements. You need to identify them in the expert evaluation and describe them clearly in your report. For each issue identified, you need to explain why it is a problem (i.e. justifying it based on the violation of Nielsen’s heuristics) and state what needs to be changed in the app to solve it.
