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 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
as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of
your choosing.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
 Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must
follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor
for any additional instructions.
 Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.
The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.

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.

CIS 375 Week 2 Discussion GPS Interaction and
Cognitive Process

"GPS Interaction and Cognitive Process" Please respond to the
following:
• Imagine that you have been asked to design a GPS 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.
• 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 Bing search engine employ the attention
cognition process. Provide your opinion as to which search engine better
employs the attention cognition process and explain why.

CIS 375 Week 3 Case Study 1: Using Technology
as Experience Framework

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

CIS 375 Week 3 Discussion Social Media and
Behavior Interaction

"Social Media and Behavior Interaction" Please respond to the
following:
• Interacting and communicating with other people is part of daily
life. This includes face-to-face conversations, conversations over the
phone or other mobile devices, and conversations through social media.
Read the article titled, “Is social media ruining our kids’ social skills?”
Provide your opinion on the effect that texting and social media (i.e.,
Twitter, Snap Chat, Facebook, etc.) are having on individuals’ abilities
to articulate a face-to-face conversation. Support your opinion with 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 laptop has on an individual’s
behavioral response compared to the affect that the visceral design of a
smartphone has.

Assignment 2: Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games
(MMORPGs)
In a virtual world (VW) of massively multiplayer online role-playing
games (MMORPGs), collaboration and communication are provided
through the Internet between MMORPG-ready devices such as the
Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation, and by using the Web browser.
Gamers can play against other gamers without seeing the opponent face-
to-face. Playing games this way has become a social phenomenon. For
example, chess players can play against other chess players anywhere in
the world at http://gameknot.com/ using a Web browser.
1. Describe cognitive social phenomena that occur specifically to the
context of the MMORPG that wouldn’t happen in a face-to-face
chess game.
2. Compare and contrast the MMORPG interaction environment and
a face-to-face environment where chess is being played on a real
chessboard. Identify if the environment has an impact on the
player’s ability to play chess.
3. List and describe the user interface guidelines that should apply to
designing MMORPGs.

CIS 375 Week 4 Discussion Graphical User
Interface (GUI) and Drone Design

"Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Drone Design" Please respond to
the following:
• GUIs play an important role on how an end-user interacts with an
operating system. Describe an instance where you did not have an
intuitive experience with a GUI. Recommend the key areas that could
have been improved. If you have only had intuitive experiences with
GUIs, explain what made the experience so great.
• In recent years, the term drone, which is an unmanned aircraft that
is remote controlled, has gained popularity among a variety of industries
(e.g. agriculture, law enforcement). Speculate on the major ethical issues
that may arise when drones fly over private property, pools, airports, etc.
Next, suggest one (1) design safety feature that manufacturers should
add to drones.
