Computer applications that run on desktop and laptop computers
have, for a long time, been designed to be driven by dragging
and clicking a mouse. With the introduction of tablet personal
computers, the trend has shifted toward using touch-based
screens. We now have access to touch-based TVs, touch-based
monitors, and touch-based laptops. Touch and multi-touch

6. devices provide end users with the ability to interact physically
with an application much more naturally.
Imagine that you have been assigned the task of redesigning
your company’s applications to run on all devices. Examine a
multi-touch computer monitor and a mouse-driven computer
monitor and think about how the end user interacts with an
application running on each of these types of monitors.
Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the metaphors used in the design of
applications that run on each type of monitor. Use Microsoft
Visio, Microsoft PowerPoint, or any other modeling tool to
create.
2. Differentiate between the interaction types and styles that
apply to these monitors and applications running on them.
3. Describe the conceptual model employed in the design of
these types. Describe the analogies and concepts these monitors
expose to users, including the task-domain objects users
manipulate on the screen.
4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this
assignment.Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify

of your choosing.

7. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
• Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and
their application to interfaces and products.
• Explain the conceptual terms for analyzing human interaction
with affordance, conceptual models, and feedback.
• Explain the importance of user abilities and characteristics in
the usability of products.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in

product that will have voice recognition and Bluetooth
capability. Discuss and conceptualize a user interaction model.
Predict two (2) problems that may arise in GPS products with
voice recognition and Bluetooth capability. Recommend
solutions for each of these issues.

9. • Attention is one of the six cognition processes. When
attention is applied to a design, the goal is to make it easier for
the end user to quickly locate where he / she should type
information on the computer or mobile device screen. Compare
and contrast how the Google search engine and theMicrosoft

Case Study 1: Using Technology as Experience Framework
Due Week 3 and worth 50 points
Download the case study titled, “Using the ‘Technology as
Experience’ Framework,” from http://www.id-
book.com/casestudy_5-1.php.

10. The user experience framework can help designers constrain and
scope the user experience of a given system. The user
experience framework also informs about the relationship
between a conceptual model and a user’s understanding of it for
past, current, and future systems. The case study actually
consists of two studies. For this evaluation, consider the first one
by Heather Collins on an online fundraising Website. She used
primarily the sensory and compositional threads of the
framework, leading to insights on how fundraising organizations
can maximize their Websites to tell a compelling story to a
potential donor that is balanced in content and emotion. Collins’
design combines elements of storytelling, appropriate emotional
triggers, and a welcoming atmosphere to encourage potential
donors to act by making a donation, volunteering their time,
telling their friends, or attending a related event. Through this
process, the donor can create a meaningful connection to a cause
or problem directly impacting their community. The personal
connection makes the online donation experience pleasurable for
the user.
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
1. Explain how the Web user interfaces help donors to make
decisions.

11. 2. Relate the emotional thread demonstrated in the case study to
the emotional design model as discussed in Chapter 5 of the
textbook.
3. Explain how the compositional thread is used in the case
study.
4. Use the user experience framework to create five (5) product
evaluation criteria using sensory and compositional threads.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
• Explain the characteristics of human-centered design methods.
• Create a product evaluation through a formal framework.

one (1) example from your personal experience or an incident in
the media.
• Emotional interaction is a behavioral reaction that is
reflected by an individual’s feeling when interacting with
technology. Examine the affect that the visceral design of a
