CS351T – Human Computer Interaction
The course project in this Human Computer Interaction course will have four phases: proposal,
requirements, design, and evaluation. This document describes the first phase.
In your project you will assigned a topic for the section, write a proposal about it, define the
requirement for a system, design a new or an improved interface, build a low-fidelity prototype
and high fidelty prototype and then evaluate the usability of your design.
1. For this assignment, you will write 500 words proposal that forms the basis of the course
project.
2. Include a cover page (not included in the words count) that lists the name of your
group/project and the members’ names.
CS351T – Human Computer Interaction
Guidelines on writing this proposal:
Creativity: The proposal should try to address a practical problem with a novel use of
technology or present a new or enhanced work practice enabled by technology. Be innovative!
Writing: The writing must clearly present the important facts and be terse and concise. The
nitty-gritty details aren’t needed at this point.
The Project Problem or Idea: The problem description should be short and specific about the
high-level goals of the project. It states what the problem is and why it is a problem or describes
a new idea and why it will enhance an existing application or work practice. It should also drop a
hint at the proposed solution to the problem.
The Project Purpose: What the system will be used for? details the general expectations of the
system
Analysis: The analysis section should give more background for the problem or new idea. It
doesn’t just focus on the negative aspects of the current situation, but also identifies some
suggested positive aspects that may be beneficial to retain. A few salient examples from existing
systems or work practices should be used to support those claims.
