INSTRUCTIONS FOR
COMPLETING HCI OBSERVATION JOURNAL
Overall Task: Keep
an HCI journal observations of the HCI issues that pertain to your work
and work of others you either service or are in contact with. This is an
opportunity for you to reflect and observe on how HCI issues permeate what we
do and how others are affected by how technology is designed and used.
Some observations may include, but are certainly
not limited to:
•
The problems and opportunities of advocating HCI
principles or strategies to fellow peers or co-workers;
•
Decisions in your work that are HCI related;
•
Episodes of information overload and cause and
effect;
•
Norms of behaviors and habits of
email/text/social communications;
•
Indirect observations of individuals using an
online application;
•
Your own enlightened view of the design of any
interface;
•
Copyright and intellectual property matters you
may be dealing with;
•
Indirect observations on people and their
information seeking behaviors or tasks and what
•
HCI considerations are involved;
•
Observations on differences or similarities between
textual and graphical information
•
Your thoughts on perceived vs. actual use of
digital systems
•
Specific details of interfaces that you have
worked with that could be improved
•
Other creative ideas you may have!!
The list of possibilities for journal entries is
endless! You will need to reflect considerably on things you may not have
considered important in the past. Please do not provide sketchy observations
and/or thoughts. Write your journal entries comprehensively and succinctly and
demonstrate you have thought the experience through! Each journal entry MUST
contain at least ONE reference (check your sources, make sure it is
credible) that supports your assertions. More references are encouraged,
which will show you have done your research!! Each entry must contain at least
ONE visual (youtube video, image, ect). This is imperative for explaining
and illustrating the issue you have selected.
