UCD Brief 2

Today Debbie gave us our new brief, the 2nd in the UCD module .This time we have to use Neilsen's Discounted Usuability Engineering method to analyse how effective our re-designed protoypes have been. This is another 1000 word report, but we also have to present our findings to the class in the form of a public presentation.

To be honest I'm not really looking forward to starting this essay because I feel like it's already run it's course. We evaluate something - fair enough. We redesign to hopefully make it better -fine, but now we have to redesign the redesign. I think that if this was a website we were analysing and redesigning that would be acceptable, because we would learn skills the same time. However, we are not a product design course, and I believe this is a brief too far.
