Planning User Research
Note: Complete the discussion in this unit before you begin this assignment.
It is tempting to start building an interface right away, but design needs to start with research. If you were building an actual online food ordering system for a restaurant, you would conduct a user research project to get the data you need. For this assignment, you will simply describe the restaurant and write a plan for user research. Then you will describe how this information and the human factors you explored in this unit should influence the design choices you make for the interface.
Assignment Preparation
Complete the following:
• Choose a restaurant as your hypothetical client for the project.The course project information describes the criteria to make this choice. Note that you need to keep the same client throughout all assignments in this project, and throughout the course.
• Complete your initial post for the unit discussion. This will help you prepare for the assignment.
Before you begin Part A (restaurant description) of this assignment, brainstorm about the restaurant itself. Take 15-30 minutes to note as many details as possible about who its main patron groups are and what makes the restaurant attractive to these people. You can do this by visiting the restaurant itself, visiting the Web site, and/or by recalling from memory. A few key questions include:
• What kind of restaurant is it? (Fast food? Ethnically-themed? Family-friendly? Casual or high-end?)
• What are some patron demographic groups who would be likely to order food here?
• When do they do most of their business? (Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night?)
• Where would the patrons be and what would they be doing, if they decided to order online from this restaurant?
• When or how might the patrons be distracted or need to look away from the screen, if they are placing an online order? Do they need to confer with others?
Note: You do not need to submit these brainstorming notes; use them to write the paragraphs described in Part A.
