USABILITY EVALUATION

  
Assignment 3: Usability Evaluation
Due Week 7 and worth 70 points

Activity 7.2:
Several e-readers for reading ebooks, watching movies, and browsing photographs such as Sony’s e-reader, Amazon’s Kindle, and Apple’s iPad are available on the market. These devices are thin and lightweight and are ideally designed for reading books, newspapers, and magazines. The exact design differs between makes and models, but they all support book reading that is intended to be as comfortable as reading a paper book.
The developers of a new e-reader want to find out how appealing it will be to young people under 18 years of age. To this end, they have asked you to conduct some interviews for them.
1. What is the goal of your data gathering session?
2. Suggest ways of recording the interview data.
3. Suggest a set of questions that are suitable for use in an unstructured interview that seek opinions about e-readers and their appeal to the under-18s.
4. Based on the results of the unstructured interviews, the developers of the new e-reader have found that two important acceptance factors are whether the device can be handled easily and whether the typeface and appearance can be altered. Write a set of semi-structured interview questions to evaluate these two aspects. If you have an e-reader available, show it to two of your peers and ask them to comment on your questions. Refine the questions based on their comments.
