1. Chapter 01 – What is Interaction Design
Concepts of Interaction Design & HCI
Discuss the definitions, similarities and differences between the concepts of interaction design and human-computer interaction and give an example of
each of these concepts in relation to Eat4Health.

,Software Design Principles
Explain the role of software design principles p25
Design principles are a set of guidelines that designers need to keep at the forefront of their minds when designing interactive products. If designers of
software do not keep design principals in the forefront the software the design can be flawed. Design principals’ designers design better products by keeping
these checks in mind when they design. They are Feedback, Affordance, Constraints, Consistency and Safety.
Usability Goals should also be kept in mind. Safety, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Memorable, Learnable, Utility.
Generalizable abstractions - to aid thinking when designing for user experience - about different aspects of design - e.g., feedback, findability
Prescriptive - suggest to designers what to provide and what to avoid at the interface - do's and don’ts of interaction design
Not specifications of how to design, but act as triggers
ensuring that they have provided certain features at an interface.
User Experience & Usability
Discuss the definitions, (main) goal, similarities and differences between the concepts of user experience and usability and give an example of each of
these concepts in relation to Eat4Health.

Core Threads Holistic Experience
Discuss McCarthy and Wright (2004)'s four core threads that make up holistic experiences (12 marks) p14
Software Design Principles
List five design principles that are concerned with how to determine what users should see and do when carrying out their tasks using an Interactive
product p25
1. Visibility- the more visible functions are, the most likely users will know what to do next. The relationship between the way controls have been
positioned and what they do makes it easy for a user to find the appropriate control for task
2. Feedback-involves sending back information about what action has been done and what has been accomplished. Various kinds of feedback are
available-audio, tactile, verbal, visual and combination of these
3. Constraints-refers to determining ways of restricting the kinds of user interaction that can take place at a given moment. Examples are deactivating
certain menu options, thereby restricting users only to permissible options at that stage of the activity or the physical design of a device which
allows only a particular cable/card/plug to be inserted into specific slots/sockets
