Usability

Wednesday, January 18, 12
Usability (n): The
          effectiveness, efficiency,
          and satisfaction with
          which users can achieve
          tasks in a particular
          environment of a product.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
High usability
                        means a system is:



Wednesday, January 18, 12
easy to learn and remember



Wednesday, January 18, 12
efficient, visually pleasing,
          and fun to use



Wednesday, January 18, 12
quick to recover from errors

If your audience finds your
      document difficult to use, it
           doesn’t mean that
            they’ve failed.


Wednesday, January 18, 12
It means that you failed them.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Things should be obvious.




Wednesday, January 18, 12
• Where to click
              • How to search
              • How to navigate individual pages

Wednesday, January 18, 12
Bad design is one thing, but ...



Wednesday, January 18, 12
context is another part of
        the problem.


Wednesday, January 18, 12
We’d like to think of our
                  readers as...



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Wednesday, January 18, 12
Wednesday, January 18, 12
This almost never happens.

Users look feverishly for
                anything that is:



Wednesday, January 18, 12
interesting



Wednesday, January 18, 12
vaguely resembles what
                they’re looking for



Wednesday, January 18, 12
is clickable.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Usability is mostly common sense.




Wednesday, January 18, 12
We don’t read screens.




Wednesday, January 18, 12
We don’t read screens.
                We scan screens.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
We don’t make
                            optimal choices.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
We satisfice.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
satisfying + sufficing = satisfice



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Why not look for the
                    best choice?

1. We’re usually in a hurry.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
2. There’s not much of a
  penalty for guessing wrong.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
3. Weighing options may
     not improve our chances.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
4. Guessing is more fun.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Your job is to take all
                    this into account.

Revision


Wednesday, January 18, 12
We’re not fixing
                  websites in this class.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
We’re making
                        recommendations



Wednesday, January 18, 12
about effective revision.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
but in the process,



Wednesday, January 18, 12
you’ll write.
                               a lot.

Wednesday, January 18, 12

Wednesday, January 18, 12
work.



Wednesday, January 18, 12
Working ...
                            professionally.

                             in distributed
                            environments.
