Crafting Seamless User Experiences: A Journey through User Classes, Requirement Analysis, Prototyping, and Usability Testing in HCI#

Scenario: “E-Commerce Platform Redesign”#

Objective: In this scenario, you will collaborate to redesign an existing e-commerce platform, focusing on user classes, user requirement analysis, design (prototyping), and usability testing.

Activity Breakdown:#

User Classes Identification:#

Divide into small groups.
Each group identifies different user classes for the e-commerce platform (e.g.,buyers, sellers, administrators).
Groups discuss and document each user class’s characteristics, goals, and needs.

User Requirement Analysis:#

Groups perform user interviews (simulated or real) to gather specific requirements from representatives of each identified user class.
Students analyze the gathered data to create a list of user requirements and prioritize them based on importance.

Prototyping:#

Using tools like Figma, Pencil Project, Sketch, Computer-based or paper and pen, students design a low-fidelity prototype (Download the Balsamic or Pencil project) of the redesigned e-commerce platform.
Emphasize the importance of incorporating the identified user requirements into the prototype design.

Usability Testing:#

Groups exchange prototypes and conduct usability testing sessions within their teams using SUS usability Scale
Each group provides feedback to the other on the usability and user experience of the prototype.
Discuss common usability issues and potential improvements.

Conclusion and Discussion:#

Each group presents its redesigned prototype to the class, explaining its design choices and how it addressed user requirements.
Facilitate a class discussion on the challenges, lessons learned, and insights gained during the activity. Some of the Good designs comparatively: https://www.alibaba.com/
