User Interview Report
User interview:
Each
student will be required to interview a user. Not just any user, but either an
older user (50 or older), or a user with a disability. This person cannot be a
computer professional, or have a degree in computing. You should use the
following five questions as a basis for your interview:
How
do you use computers or technology in your daily life?
What
do you like about the technologies that you use?
What
problems do you have related to technology usage?
When
you have a problem with your technology, how do you usually respond?
How
would you like to be using technology 10 years from now?
You
might also want to watch the user, utilizing a technology. You should submit a
final report, which is approx. 10 pages long, and describes your interview with
them. You can also add your own thoughts and perceptions. This is a reflection
paper, not a research paper, so no references are required.
