Human-computer interaction is the study, planning and design of how people 0.1
computer work together so that a person’s needs are satisfied in the most effective
way.
2 How the HCI ensure the following when designing, selecting, commissioning C41 BTL1
or modifying software: 0.1
● that it is suitable for the task
● that it is easy to use and, where appropriate, adaptable to the user’s
knowledge and experience

4 Where the Information is stored in memory: C41 BTL1

–sensory memory 0.1
–short-term (working) memory
–long-term memory
5 What are the Input–OUTPUT CHANNELS? C41 BTL1
In an interaction with a computer the user receives information that is 0.1
output by the computer, and responds by providing input to the computer.
6 What are the capabilities and limitations of visual processing? C41 BTL1
Display screens can be used in various public places to offer information, link 0.1
spaces or act as message areas. These are often called situated displays as they take
their meaning from the location in which they are situated presenter’s shadow can
often fall across the screen
7 Label the structure of memory C41 BTL1
0.1

8 What is long-term memory? C41 BTL1

It store factual information, experiential knowledge, procedural rules of 0.1
behavior it has a huge, if not unlimited, capacity. Secondly, it has a relatively slow
access time of approximately a tenth of a second. Thirdly, forgetting occurs more
slowly.
9 What is short term memory C41 BTL1
Short-term memory or working memory acts as a ‘scratch-pad’ for 0.1
temporary recall of information. It is used to store information which is only
required fleetingly Short-term memory can be accessed rapidly, in the order of 70
ms. However, it also decays rapidly, meaning that information can only be held
there temporarily, in the order of 200 ms

conclusions or infer something new about the domain of interest.
12 What are the types of reasoning? APR /MAY 2017 C41 BTL1
Deductive reasoning 0.1
Inductive reasoning

13 C41 BTL1
Define Gestalt theory 0.1
Problem solving is a matter of reproducing known responses or trial and
error. problem solving is both productive and reproductive. Reproductive problem
solving draws on previous experience as the behaviorists claimed, but productive
problem solving involves insight and restructuring of the problem
14 Define Problem space theory C41 BTL1
Problem solving involves generating these states using legal state transition 0.1
operators. The problem has an initial state and a goal state and people use the
operators to move from the former to the latter.
Such problem spaces may be huge, and so heuristics are employed to select
appropriate operators to reach the goal

7. Evaluating the system state with respect to the goals and intentions.
25 What is ergonomics APR /MAY 2017 C41 BTL1
Ergonomics (or human factors) is traditionally the study of the physical 0.1
characteristics of the interaction: how the controls are designed, the physical
environment in which the interaction takes place, and the layout and physical
qualities of the screen
26 What are the organizations in Arrangement of controls and displays. C41 BTL1
functional controls and displays are organized so that those that are 0.1
functionally related are placed together;sequential controls and displays are
organized to reflect the order of their use in a typical interaction (this may be
especially appropriate in domains where a particular task sequence is enforced,
such as aviation);frequency controls and displays are organized according to
how frequently they are used, with the most commonly used controls being the
most easily accessible.

27 What is interactivity? C41 BTL1

It is worth remembering that interactivity is the defining feature of an 0.1
interactive system. This can be seen in many areas of HCI. For example, the
recognition rate for speech recognition is too low to allow transcription from tape,
but in an airline reservation system, so long as the system can reliably recognize
yes and no it canreflect back its understanding of what you said and seek
confirmation. Speech-based input is difficult, speech-based interaction easier.
28 What are the constrains of Physical design and engagement? C41 BTL1
Ergonomic :You cannot physically push buttons if they are too small or too close. 0.1
Physical: The size or nature of the device may force certain positions or styles of
control, for example, a dial like the one on the washing machine would not fit on
the MiniDisc controller

30 What are the categories principles to support usability? C41 BTL1

Learnability – the ease with which new users can begin effective interaction and 0.1
achieve maximal performance.
Flexibility – the multiplicity of ways in which the user and system exchange
information.
Robustness – the level of support provided to the user in determining successful
achievement and assessment of goals.

31 What are the mental models and why they important in interface design? C41 BTL1
(APR/MAY 2018) 0.1
Mental models are one of the most important concepts in human–computer
interaction (HCI) It's a prime goal for designers to make the user interface
communicate the system's basic nature well enough that users form reasonably
accurate (and thus useful) mental models. Individual users each have their own
mental model.
32 List out text entry devices? (APR/MAY 2018) C41 BTL4
A text entry interface or text entry device is an interface that is used to enter text 0.1
information an electronic device. A commonly used device is a mechanical
computer keyboard. Most laptop computers have an integrated mechanical
keyboard, and desktop computers are usually operated primarily using a keyboard
and mouse. Devices such as smartphones and tablets mean that interfaces such as
virtual keyboards and voice recognition are becoming more popular as text entry
systems.

33 What is forgetting? C41 BTL1

Forgetting or disremembering is the apparent loss or modification of information already 0.1
encoded and stored in an individual's long term memory. It is a spontaneous or
gradual process in which old memories are unable to be recalled from memory
storage. Forgetting also helps to reconcile the storage of new information with old
knowledge.
34 What is retrieval? C41 BTL1
recall -information reproduced from memory can be assisted by cues, e.g. categories 0.1
,imagery recognition -information gives knowledge that it has been seen before
less complex than recall - information is cue
35 What is touch? C41 BTL1
Provides important feedback about environment. May be key sense for someone who is 0.1
visually impaired. Stimulus received via receptors in the skin:
36 What are the effectors? C41 BTL1
Limbs Fingers Eyes Head Vocal system 0.1

37 What is reading? C41 BTL1

There are several stages in the reading process. First, the visual pattern of the word on the 0.1
page is perceived. It is then decoded with reference to an internal representation of
language. The final stages of language processing include syntactic and semantic
analysis and operate on phrases or sentences.

38 What is hearing? C41 BTL1

Provides information about environment: distances, directions, objects etc. 0.1

39 What is sensory memory? C41 BTL1

Buffers for stimuli received through senses iconic memory: visual stimuli echoic memory: 0.1
aural stimuli haptic memory: tactile stimuli
40 What is semantic memory? C41 BTL1
Semantic memory structure provides access to information represents relationships 0.1
between bits of information supports inference
41 Define controlled vocabularies? C41 BTL1
Vocabulary control comes in many shapes and sizes. At its most vague, a controlled 0.1
vocabulary is any defined subset of natural language. At its simplest, a controlled
vocabulary is a list of equivalent terms in the form of a synonym ring, or a list of
preferred terms in the form of an authority file.
42 What is gestalt theory? C41 BTL1
problem solving both productive and reproductive 0.1
productive draws on insight and restructuring of problem
attractive but not enough evidence to explain `insight' etc
43 What is meant by Batch processing? C41 BTL1
Batch processing interactions takes place over hours or days. In contrast the typical 0.1
desktop computer system has interactions taking seconds or fractions of a second
(or with slow web pages sometimes minutes!). The field of Human Computer
Interaction largely grew due to this change in interactive pace. It is easy to assume
that faster means better, but some of the paper-based technology.

44 Define Digital paper. C41 BTL1

Digital paper, also known as interactive paper, is patterned paper used in conjunction with 0.1
adigital pen to create handwritten digital documents. The printed dot pattern
uniquely identifies the position coordinates on the paper. The digital pen uses this
pattern to store the handwriting andupload it to a computer

45 What is metaphor C41 BTL1

It is relating computing to other real-world activity is effective teaching technique. 0.1
LOGO's turtle dragging its tail b. file management on an office desktop. word
processing as typing financial analysis on spreadsheets. virtual reality user inside
the metaphor Problems some tasks do not fit into a given metaphor cultural bias

46 What is execution and evaluation loop C41 BTL1

user establishes the goal 0.1
•formulates intention
•Specifies actions at interface
• executes action
• perceives system state
• interprets system state
• evaluates system state with respect to goal

47 What is meant by bit map display? C41 BTL1

Bit map display is made of vast numbers of colored dots or pixels in a rectangular grid. 0.1
These pixels may be limited to black and white in gray scale, or full color.
The color or, for mono chrome screens, the intensity at each pixel is held by the
computer‟s video card. On e bit per pixel canstore on/off information, and hence only
black and white

48 Define Moore’s law C41 BTL1

.Moore's law refers to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. 0.1
He noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had
doubled every year since their invention. Moore's law predicts that this trend will
continue into the foreseeable future. Although the pace has slowed, the number of
transistors per square inch has since doubled approximately every 18months

49 What is reading? C41 BTL1

There are several stages in the reading process. First, the visual pattern of the word on 0.1
the page is perceived. It is then decoded with reference to an internal
representation of language. The final stages of language processing include
syntactic and semantic analysis and operate on phrases or sentence.

50 What is Interaction C41 BTL1

There are obvious differences between humans and machines. In spite of these, HCI 0.1
attempts to ensure that they both get on with each other and interact successfully.
In order to achieve a usable system, you need to apply what you know about
humans and computers, and consult with likely users throughout the design
process. In real systems, the schedule and the budget are important, and it is vital
to find a balance between what would be ideal for the users and what is feasible in
reality.

51 What is Directive reasoning? NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1

Deductive reasoning is sometimes referred to as top-down logic. Its counterpart, inductive 0.1
reasoning, is sometimes referred to as bottom-up logic.

4 What are goals of interface design? C41 BTL1

• Reduce visual work. 0.2
• Reduce intellectual work.
• Reduce memory work.
• Reduce motor work.
5 What is the navigation in design? C41 BTL1
Widgets The appropriate choice of widgets and wording in menus and 0.2
buttons will help you know how to use them for a particular selection or action.
Screens or windows You need to find things on the screen, understand the logical
grouping of buttons

6 What are the structures of design? C41 BTL1

local structure 0.2
– looking from one screen or page out
global structure
– structure of site, movement between screens
7 What are the scenarios of software processes? C41 BTL1
Communicate with others – other designers, clients or users. It is easy to 0.2
misunderstand
each other whilst discussing abstract ideas. Concrete examples of use are far
easier to share.
Validate other models A detailed scenario can be ‘played’ against various more
formal representations such as task models (discussed in Chapter 15) or dialog
and navigation models (Chapter 16 and below).
Express dynamics Individual screen shots and pictures give you a sense of what a
system would look like, but not how it behaves
8 What are the several levels of interaction with computer? C41 BTL1
Widgets The appropriate choice of widgets and wording in menus and 0.2
buttons will
help you know how to use them for a particular selection or action.
Screens or windows You need to find things on the screen, understand the
logical
grouping of buttons.
Navigation within the application You need to be able to understand
what will
happen when a button is pressed, to understand where you are in the interaction.
Environment The word processor has to read documents from disk,
perhaps some
are on remote networks. You swap between applications, perhaps cut and paste
9 What is Global structure – hierarchical organization? C41 BTL1
The hierarchy links screens, pages or states in logical groupings. For 0.2
example, a high-level breakdown of some sort of messaging system. This sort of
hierarchy can be used purely to help during design, but can also be used to
structure the actual system. For example, this may reflect the menu structure of
a PC application or the site structure on the web.

 www.AUNewsBlog.net

10 What are the implications of wider still? C41 BTL1

Style issues We should normally conform to platform standards, such as 0.2
positions for menus on a PC application, to ensure consistency between
applications. For example, on our proposed personal movie player we should make
use of standard fast-forward, play and pause icons.
Functional issues On a PC application we need to be able to interact with files,
read standard formats and be able to handle cut and paste.
Navigation issues We may need to support linkages between applications, for
example allowing the embedding of data from one application in another, or, in
a mail system, being able to double click an attachment icon and have the right
application launched for the attachment.

11 What are the tools for layout? C41 BTL1

o Grouping and structure 0.2
o Order of groups and items
o Decoration
o Alignment
o White space
12 What is prototyping? APR /MAY 2017 C41 BTL1
iteration and prototyping are the universally accepted ‘best practice’ approach 0.2
for interaction design. Prototyping is an example of what is known as a hill-
climbing approach
13 C41 BTL1
What are the prototyping methods? NOV/DEC 2018 0.2
1. To understand what is wrong and how to improve.
2. A good start point.

14 Define usability. C41 BTL1

The usability describes the effectiveness of human performance. It cart b 0.2
defined as “the capability to be used by humans easily and effectively”.
Easily = to a specified level of subjective assessment. Effectively = to a specified
level of human performance
15 What is usability engineering? C41 BTL1
Iterative design practices that involve prototyping and participative 0.2
evaluation. engineering are also called usability metrics.
16 Define software life cycle. C41 BTL1
. The software life cycle is an attempt to identify the activities that occur 0.2
in software development. These activities must then be ordered in time in any
development
project and appropriate techniques must be adopted to carry them through
17 What are the Activities in the life cycle? C41 BTL1
● Requirements specification 0.2
● Architectural design

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

● Detailed design
● Coding and unit testing
● Integration and testing
● Maintenance

18 What do u mean by universal design ? APR/MAY 2017 C41 BTL1

Universal design means designing software that can be used by people of 0.2
as many abilities as possible, without them having to modify things or use assistive
technologies.For most software, the major concerns are:
● Use of color
● Minimum font sizes
● Minimum contrast
● Alternate text for graphics and visual content
19 Define validation C41 BTL1
Validation is a much more subjective exercisethan verification, mainly 0.2
because the disparity between the language of the requirements and the language
of the design forbids any objective form of proof. In interactive system design, the
validation against HCI requirements is often referred to as evaluation and can be
performed by the designer in isolation or in cooperation with the customer.
20 What is now level? C41 BTL1
The now level indicates the value for the measurement with the existing 0.2
system, whether it is computer based or not.
21 Define worst-case value? C41 BTL1
The worst case value is the lowest acceptable measurement for the task, 0.2
providing a clear distinction between what will be acceptable and what will be
unacceptable in the final product
22 What is planned level? C41 BTL1
The planned level is the target for the design and the best case is the level 0.2
which is agreed to be the best possible measurement given the current state of
development tools and technology.
23 What are the Set levels with respect to information ? C41 BTL1
1. an existing system or previous version 0.2
2. competitive systems
3. carrying out the task without use of a computer system
4. an absolute scale
5. your own prototype
6. user’s own earlier performance
7. each component of a system separately
8. a successive split of the difference between best and worst values
observed in user Tests
24 What are the Problems with usability engineering? C41 BTL1
● they rely on measurements of very specific user actions in very specific 0.2
situations.
it provides a means of satisfying usability specifications and not necessarily
usability..

 www.AUNewsBlog.net

25 What is iterative design? C41 BTL1

This is the essence of iterative design, a purposeful design process which 0.2
tries to overcome the inherent problems of incomplete requirements specification
by cycling through several designs, incrementally improving upon the final
product with each pass.
26 What are the three main approaches to prototyping? C41 BTL1
Throw-away The prototype is built and tested. The design knowledge 0.2
gained from this exercise is used to build the final product, but the actual prototype
is discarded.
Incremental The final product is built as separate components, one at a
time. There is one overall design for the final system, but it is partitioned into
independent
and smaller components. The final product is then released as a series of products,
each subsequent release including one more component
Evolutionary Here the prototype is not discarded and serves as the basis
for the next iteration of design. In this case, the actual system is seen as evolving
from a very limited initial version to its final release, Evolutionary prototyping also
fits in well with the modifications which must be made to the system that arise
during the operation and maintenance activity in the life cycle.
27 What are the potential problems in prototyping? C41 BTL1
Time Building prototypes takes time and, if it is a throw-away prototype, it 0.2
can be seen as precious time taken away from the real design task
Planning Most project managers do not have the experience necessary for
adequately planning and costing a design process which involves prototyping
Non-functional features Often the most important features of a system
will ben on-functional ones, such as safety and reliability, and these are precisely
the kinds of features which are sacrificed in developing a prototype
Contracts The design process is often governed by contractual agreements
between customer and designer which are affected by many of these managerial
and technical issues.
28 What are the Techniques for prototyping? NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1
0.2
● Storyboards
● Limited functionality simulations
● High-level programming support
● Context and environment: The microwave’s controls are smooth to make
them easy to clean in the kitchen.
● Aesthetic: The controls must look good.
● Economic: It must not cost too much!
29 What is Design rationale? C41 BTL1
Design rationale is the information that explains why a computer system is 0.2
the way it is,including its structural or architectural description and its functional
or behavioral description. design rationale relates to an activity of both reflection
(doing design rationale) and documentation (creating a design rationale) that
occurs throughout the entire life cycle.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

30 What are the importance of Design rationale? C41 BTL1

Design rationale provides a communication mechanism among the 0.2
members of a design team.The design rationale can capture the context of a design
decision in order that a different design team can determine if a similar rationale is
appropriate for their product Design rationale technique suggesting how arguments
justifying or discarding a particular design option are formed.
31 What is multi threading? (APR/MAY 2018) C41 BTL1
Each process contains a single thread, so programming with multiple processes is 0.2
programming with multiple threads. But, a process is also an address space, and
creating a process involves creating a new address space.
32 What are the categories principles to support usability? (APR/MAY 2018) C41 BTL1
Learnability – the ease with which new users can begin effective interaction and 0.2
achieve maximal performance.
Flexibility – the multiplicity of ways in which the user and system exchange
information.
Robustness – the level of support provided to the user in determining successful
achievement and assessment of goals.
33 What is meant by linearity? C41 BTL1
Linearity presentation of information and you process the information without foot 0.2
notes or references. You start at the beginning and continue to read in sequence
until you get to the end. Information may be presented chunks but the author
expects you to follow a preset order

34 List the principles of a software design in HCI. C41 BTL1

i. The design process should not suffer from “tunnel vision” 0.2
ii. The design should be traceable to the analysis model.
iii. The design should exhibit uniformity and integration.
Iv Design is not coding
.v The design should not reinvent the wheel
35 What is Heuristic Evaluation C41 BTL1
A heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method for computer software that 0.2
helps to identify usability problems in the user interface (UI) design. It specifically
involves evaluators examining the interface and judging its compliance with
recognized usability principles (the"heuristics"). These evaluation methods are
now widely taught and practiced in the new media sector, where UIs are often
designed in a short space of time on a budget that may restrict the amount of
money available to provide for other types of interface testing
36 What is think aloud C41 BTL1
Think aloud is a form of observation where the user is asked to talk through what 0.2
he is doing ashe is being observed; Think aloud has the advantage of simplicity; it
requires little expertise to perform (though can be tricky to analyze fully) and can
provide useful insight into problems withan interface. It can also be employed to
observe how the system is actually used. It can be usedfor evaluation throughout
the design process, using paper or simulated mock-ups for the earlierstages

40 What is goal of evaluation C41 BTL1

Goal of evaluation is to identify specific problems with the design. These may be 0.2
aspects of the design which, when used in their intended context, cause unexpected
results, or confusion amongst users.

41 What is Widgets C41 BTL1

The appropriate choice of widgets and wording in menus and buttons will help you 0.2
know how to use them for a particular selection or action.
42 What is Waterfall Model C41 BTL1
A fundamental feature of software engineering, therefore, is that it provides the 0.2
structure for applying techniques to develop software systems. The software life
cycle is an attempt to identify the activities that occur in software development.
These activities must then be ordered in time in any development project and
appropriate techniques must be adopted to carry them through.
43 What is Throw-away C41 BTL1
The prototype is built and tested. The design knowledge gained from this exercise 0.2
is used to build the final product, but the actual prototype is discarded.
44 Define Storyboards C41 BTL1
Probably the simplest notion of a prototype is the storyboard, which is a graphical 0.2
depiction of the outward appearance of the intended system, without any accompanying
system functionality. Storyboards do not require much in terms of computing power to
construct; in fact, they can be mocked up without the aid of any computing resource.
45 What is Cognitive walkthrough C41 BTL1
The origin of the cognitive walkthrough approach to evaluation is the code walkthrough 0.2
familiar in software engineering. Walkthroughs require a detailed review of a sequence of
actions.

46 Define Design rationale. C41 BTL1

It is the information that explains why a computer system is the way it is, including its 0.2
structural or architectural description and its functional or behavioral description.
47 What is Design space analysis C41 BTL1
The design space is initially structured by a set of questions representing the major issues 0.2
of the design. Since design space analysis is structure oriented, it is not so important that
the questions recorded are the actual questions asked during design meetings.
48 What is equitable use C41 BTL1
The design is useful to people with a range of abilities and appealing to all. No user is 0.2
excluded or stigmatized. Wherever possible, access should be the same for all; where
identical use is not possible, equivalent use should be supported.
49 What is Analysis C41 BTL1
The results of observation and interview need to be ordered in some way to bring out key 0.2
issues and communicate with later stages of design models, which are a means to capture
how people carry out the various tasks that are part of their work and life.
50 Define Standards C41 BTL1
Standards for interactive system design are usually set by national or international bodies 0.2
to ensure compliance with a set of design rules by a large community. Standards can apply
specifically to either the hardware or the software used to build the interactive system

PART-A

Questions CO Bloom’
Q.No s Level
1Define Cognitive model. C41 BTL1
Cognitive models represent users of interactive systems. Hierarchical models represent a
user’s task and goal structure. Linguistic models represent the user–system
grammar. Physical and device models represent human motor skills. Cognitive 0.3
architectures underlie all of these cognitive models.

2 the applications of hypermedia? APR/MAY 2017

List C41 BTL1
● Education 0.3
● Training
● Science & technology
● Business
● games
3 Define Linguistic model C41 BTL1
The user’s interaction with a computer is often viewed in terms of a language, so it 0.3
is not surprising that several modeling formalisms have developed centered around
this concept. Several of the dialog notations described in Chapter 16 are also based
on linguistic ideas. Indeed, BNF grammars are frequently used to specify dialogs.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

The models here, although similar in form to dialog design notations, have been
proposed with the intention of understanding the user’s behavior and analyzing the
cognitive difficulty of the interface.
4 Define BNF : C41 BTL1
Representative of the linguistic approach is Reisner’s use of Backus–Naur Form 0.3
(BNF) rules to describe the dialog grammar [301]. This views the dialog at a
purely syntactic level, ignoring the semantics of the language. BNF has been used
widely to specify the syntax of computer programming languages, and many
system dialogs can be described easily using BNF rules.
5 What is TASK – Action grammar : C41 BTL1
Task–action grammar (TAG) [284] attempts to deal with some of these problems 0.3
by including elements such as parameterized grammar rules to emphasize
consistency and encoding the user’s world knowledge
(for example, up is the opposite of down). To illustrate consistency, we consider
the three UNIX commands: cp (for copying files), my (for moving files) and ln
(for linking files). Each of these has two possible forms. They either have two
arguments, a source and destination filename, or have any number of source
filenames followed by a destination directory:
6 Define Keystroke-level model? C41 BTL1
KLM (Keystroke-Level Model [55]) uses this understanding as a basis for detailed 0.3
predictions about user
performance. It is aimed at unit tasks within interaction – the execution of simple
command sequences, typically taking no more than 20 seconds. Examples of this
would be using a search and replace feature, or changing the font of a word. It does
not extend to complex actions such as producing a diagram. The assumption is that
these more complex tasks would be split into subtasks (as in GOMS) before the
user attempts to map them into physical actions. The task is split into two phases:
acquisition of the task, when the user builds a mental representation of the task;
execution of the task using the system’s facilities.
7 What are the socio-organizational issues and stakeholder requirements? C41 BTL1
- There are several organizational issues that affect the acceptance of technology 0.3
by users and that must therefore be considered in system design:
– systems may not take into account conflict and power relationships
– those who benefit may not do the work
– not everyone may use systems.
In addition to generic issues, designers must identify specific stakeholder
requirements within their
Organizational context. Socio-technical models capture both human andtechnical
requirements.
8 Define Cooperation or conflict? C41 BTL1
The term ‘computer-supported cooperative work’ (CSCW) seems to assume that 0.3
groups will be acting in a cooperative manner. This is obviously true to some
extent; even opposing football teams cooperate to the extent that they keep
(largely) within the rules of the game, but their cooperation only goes so far.
People in organizations and groups have conflicting goals, and systems that ignore
this are likely to fail spectacularly.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

9 What is Changing power structures ? C41 BTL1

The identification of stakeholders will uncover information transfer and power 0.3
relationships that cut across the organizational structure. Indeed, all organizations
have these informal networks that support both social and functional contacts.
However, the official lines of authority and information tend to flow up and down
through line management. New communications media may challenge and disrupt
these formal managerial structures.
The physical layout of an organization often reflects the formal hierarchy: each
department is on a different floor, with sections working in the same area of an
office. If someone from sales wants to talk to someone from marketing then one of
them must walk to the other’s office.
10 What is Free rider problem C41 BTL1
Even where there is no bias toward any particular people, a system may still not 0.3
function symmetrically, which may be a problem, particularly with shared
communication systems. One issue is the free rider problem. Take an electronic
conferencing system. If there is plenty of discussion of relevant topics then there
are obvious advantages to subscribing and reading the contributions. However,
when considering writing a contribution, the effort of doing so may outweigh any
benefits. The total benefit of the system for each user outweighs the costs, but for
any particular decision the balance is overturned.
11 Define lotus notes : C41 BTL1
Lotus Notes can be used to implement workflow systems in a straightforward 0.3
manner. The sales executive fills in an electronic form which is automatically
emailed to the accounts department. When it is approved the order form is
automatically emailed to stores, and so on.
12 How requirements are captured : C41 BTL1
Problems can arise when a system is introduced without a full understanding of all 0.3
the people who will be affected by it. But how can we better understand and
support complex organizational structures, workgroups and potentially conflicting
stakeholder needs? We begin by capturing and analyzing requirements, but we
need to do this within the work context, taking account of the complex mix of
concerns felt by different stakeholders and the structures and processes operating
in the workgroups.
13 Define competence model. C41 BTL1
Competence models tend to be ones that can predict legal behaviour sequences 0.3
butgenerally do this without reference to whether they could actually be executed
by users.In contrast, performance models not only describe what the necessary
behavioursequences are but usually describe both what the user needs to know and
how this is employed in actual task execution.
14 Compare the different Types of stake holders. NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1
It can be useful to distinguish different categories of stakeholder, and the following 0.3
categorization from the CUSTOM approach (see [200]) is helpful for this:
Primary stakeholders are people who actually use the system – the end-users.
Secondary stakeholders are people who do not directly use the system, but receive
output from it or provide input to it (for example, someone who receives a report
produced by the system).

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

Tertiary stakeholders are people who do not fall into either of the first two
categories but who are directly affected by the success or failure of the system (for
example, a director whose profits increase or decrease depending on the success of
the system).
Facilitating stakeholders are people who are involved with the design,
development
and maintenance of the system

15 What are the different activities that occur within a problem space C41 BTL1
- goal formulation 0.3
-operation selection
- operation application and goal completion.
16 What is PUM? C41 BTL1
. knowledge is encoded in the problemspace architecture of Soar, producing a 0.3
‘programmed’ user model (the PUM)
to accomplish the goal of performing the task. By executing the PUM, the stacking
and un stacking of problem spaces needed to accomplish the goal can be analyzed
to measure the cognitive load of the intended procedure.
17 What is ICS? C41 BTL1
. ICS provides a model of perception, cognition and action, but unlike other 0.3
cognitive architectures, it is not intended to produce a description of the user in
terms of sequences of actions that he performs. ICS provides a more holistic view
of the user as an information-processing machine. The emphasis is on determining
how easy particular procedures of action sequences become as they are made more
automatic within the user.
18 What is unit task? C41 BTL1
abstract task is referred to as the unit task. The unit task does not require any 0.3
problem-solving skills on the part of the user, though it frequently demands quite
sophisticated problem-solving skills on the part of the designer to determine them
19 Define validation C41 BTL1
Validation is a much more subjective exercise than verification, mainly 0.3
because the disparity between the language of the requirements and the language
of the design forbids any objective form of proof. In interactive system design, the
validation against HCI requirements is often referred to as evaluation and can be
performed by the designer in isolation or in cooperation with the customer.
20 What is CCT C41 BTL1
CCT as an engineering tool giving one a rough measure of learnability and 0.3
difficulty combined with a detailed description of user behavior. This can then be
used by analysts employing their professional expertise
21 What is TAG NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1
Task–action grammar (TAG) attempts to deal with some of these problems by 0.3
including elements such as parametrized grammar rules to emphasize consistency
and encoding the user’s world knowledge

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

22 What is Ethnography : C41 BTL1

Ethnography is based on very detailed recording of the interactions between people 0.3
and between people and their environment. It has a special focus on social
relationships and how they affect the nature of work. The ethnographer does not
enter actively into the situation, and does not see things from a particular person’s
viewpoint. However, an aim is to be encultured, to understand the situation from
within its own cultural framework. Culture here means that of the particular
workgroup or organization, rather than that of society as a whole. Ethnographers
try to take an unbiased and open-ended view of the situation. They report and do
not like to speculate, so it is often unclear how well their approach can contribute
to the design of new systems.
23 What is communication and collaboration models. C41 BTL1
1. We need to understand normal human–human communication: 0.3
– face-to-face communication involves eyes, face and body
– conversation can be analyzed to establish its detailed
structure.
2. This can then be applied to text-based conversation, which has:
– reduced feedback for confirmation
– less context to disambiguate utterances
– slower pace of interaction but is more easily reviewed.
3. Group working is more complex than that of a single person:
– it is influenced by the physical environment
– experiments are more difficult to control and record
– field studies must take into account the social situation.
24 What are the characteristics of computer support cooperative work system C41 BTL1
NOV/DEC2017 0.3

● Awareness: individuals working together need to be able to gain some level

of shared knowledge about each other's activities
● Articulation work: cooperating individuals must somehow be able to
partition work into units, divide it amongst themselves and, after the work
is performed, reintegrate it
● Appropriation (or tailorability): how an individual or group adapts a
technology to their own particular situation; the technology may be
appropriated in a manner completely unintended by the designers

25 Define TURN – TAKING . C41 BTL1

Turn-taking is the process by which the roles of speaker and listener are 0.3
exchanged. Back channels are often a crucial part of this process.
26 Define Context and its types . C41 BTL1
Take a single utterance from a conversation, and it will usually be highly 0.3
ambiguous if not meaningless: ‘the uh with the black cat – “The Green whatsit”’.
Each utterance and each fragment of conversation is heavily dependent on context,
which must be used to disambiguate the utterance. We can identify two types of
context within conversation:
internal context – dependence on earlier utterances. For example, when Brian

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

says ‘masses’ in the last transcript, this is meaningful in the light of Alison’s
question ‘and lots of chocolate?’. This in turn is interpreted in the context of
Brian’s original offer of gateau.
external context – dependence on the environment. For example, if Brian had said
simply ‘do you want one?’, this could have meant a slice of gateau, or, if he had
been holding a bottle, a glass of wine, or, if accompanied by a clenched fist, a
punch on the nose.
27 What is Text based communication & types? APR/MAY2017 C41 BTL1
Text-based communication is familiar to most people, in that they will have 0.3
written and received letters. However, the style of letter writing and that of face-to
face communication are very different. The text-based communication in
groupware systems is acting as a speech substitute, and, thus, there are some
problems adapting between the two media.
There are four types of textual communication in current groupware:
discrete – directed message as in email. There is no explicit connection between
different messages, except in so far as the text of the message refers to a previous
one.
linear – participants’ messages are added in (usually temporal) order to the end of
a single transcript.
non-linear – when messages are linked to one another in a hypertext fashion.
spatial – where messages are arranged on a two-dimensional surface.
28 Define Semantic dialogue. C41 BTL1
If the purpose of a dialog description is simply to communicate between 0.3
designers, or as a ‘tool for thought’ early in design, it may be sufficient to annotate
the formal dialog with the intended meaning of the actions, or to leave it to the
reader to infer the semantics. However, if the dialog description is to serve as a
formal specification, perhaps part of a contract, or for running as a prototype, there
must be some way to describe formally the semantics of the dialog. The dialog
notations we have seen more or less clearly describe the structure of the dialog. We
must now move on to meaning. There are two aspects to the dialog semantics,
inward toward the application, and outward toward the presentation.
29 What is hypertext . C41 BTL1
A software system allowing extensive cross-referencing between related sections 0.3
of text and associated graphic material.
30 What is multimedia? C41 BTL1
Multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as 0.3
text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia
contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only
or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material.

31 Write down the four elements of GOMS? (APR/MAY 2018) C41 BTL1
A set of Goals, a set of Operators, a set of Methods for achieving the goals, and a 0.3
set of Selections rules for choosing among competing methods for goals.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

32 Define CUSTOM methodology? (APR/MAY 2018) C41 BTL1

CUSTOM model is a socio-technical methodology designed to be practical to use 0.3
in small organizations. It is based on the User Skills and Task Match (USTM)
approach, developed to allow design teams to understand and fully document user
requirements.
33 What is Operators C41 BTL1
These are the lowest level of analysis. They are the basic actions that the user must 0.3
perform in order to use the system.
34 What is a Methods C41 BTL1
There are several ways in which a goal can be split into sub goals. 0.3

35 Define Changing power structures C41 BTL1

The identification of stakeholders will uncover information transfer and power 0.3
relationships that cut across the organizational structure
36 What is invisible worker C41 BTL1
The ability to work and collaborate at a distance can allow functional groups to be 0.3
distributed over different sites. This can take the form of cross-functional
neighbourhood centers, where workers from different departments do their jobs in
electronic contact with their functional colleagues.
37 What is free rider problem C41 BTL1
It occurs when those who benefit from resources, goods, or Services do not pay for 0.3
them, which results in an under-provision of those goods or services. The free rider
problem is the question of how to limit free riding and its negative effects in these
situations
38 Who is Stakeholders C41 BTL1
It can be defined as anyone who is affected by the success or failure of the system 0.3

39 What is Face-to-Face communication C41 BTL1

Face-to-face contact is the most primitive form of communication – primitive, that 0.3
is, in terms of technology.
40 What is Hypertext system C41 BTL1
A hypertext system comprises a number of pages and a set of links that are used to 0.3
connect pages together. The links can join any page to any other page, and there
can be more than one link per page.
41 Define Animation C41 BTL1
Animation is the term given to the addition of motion to images, making them 0.3
move, alter and change in time. A simple example of animation in an interface is in
the form of a clock.
42 What is World-Wide Web C41 BTL1
It is (also called WWW or W3) It is a hypertext-based information system. Any 0.3
word in a hypertext document can be specified as a pointer to a different hypertext
document where more information pertaining to that word can be found.
43 What is Turn-taking C41 BTL1
Turn-taking is the process by which the roles of speaker and listener are 0.3
exchanged. Back channels are often a crucial part of this process

44 What is Personal space C41 BTL1

It is also differ across cultures. Similar problem can occur in a video conference, 0.3
ex. Wide focus, high level of zoom, camera position, different size of monitors.
Even ‘glass wall’ makes precise distance less important, which could have a
positive effect during cross-cultural meeting.
45 What is Consensus C41 BTL1
It is all stakeholders are included in the decision-making process. 0.3

46 What is Consultative C41 BTL1

It is the weakest form of participation where participants are asked for their 0.3
opinions but are not decision makers.
47 Define Weltanschauung C41 BTL1
It is taken (from the German) meaning world view. This is how the system is 0.3
perceived in a particular root definition.
48 What is Transformations C41 BTL1
The changes that are effected by the system. This is a critical part of the root 0.3
definition as it leads to the activities that need to be included in the next stage
49 Define Open System Task Analysis (OSTA) C41 BTL1
OSTA is an alternative socio-technical approach, which attempts to describe what 0.3
happens when a technical system is introduced into an organizational work
environment.
50 Who are Tertiary stakeholders C41 BTL1
are people who do not fall into either of the first two categories but who are 0.3
directly affected by the success or failure of the system (for example, a director
whose profits increase or decrease depending on the success of the system).

With Palm’s introduction of webOS, a mobile platform based on WebKit, 0.4
and given its predominance as a mobile browser included in mobile platforms like
the iPhone, Android, and S60, and that the vast majority of mobile web apps are
written specifically for WebKit, I believe we can now refer to WebKit as a mobile
framework in its own right.
8 What is Web Runtimes (WRTs) C41 BTL1
WRTs are very interesting and provide access to some device functions 0.4
using mobile web principles, I’ve found them to be more complex than just
creating a simple mobile web app, as they force the developer to code within an
SDK rather than just code a simple web app. And based on the number of mobile
web apps written for the iPhone versus the number written for other, more full-
featured WRTs.

9 What is Android SDK? C41 BTL1

The Android SDK allows developers to create native applications for any 0.4
device that runs the Android platform. By using the Android SDK, developers can
write applications in C/C++ or use a Java virtual machine included in the OS that
allows the creation of applications with Java, which is more common in the mobile
ecosystem.
10 What is Cocoa Touch? C41 BTL1
Cocoa Touch is the API used to create native applications for the iPhone 0.4
and iPod touch. Cocoa Touch applications must be submitted and certified by
Apple before being included in the App Store. Once in the App Store, applications
can be purchased, downloaded, and installed over the air or via a cable-connected

11 What is Windows Mobile? C41 BTL1

Applications written using the Win32 API can be deployed across the 0.4
majority of Windows Mobile-based devices. Like Java, Windows Mobile
applications can be downloaded and installed over the air or loaded via a cable-
connected computer.

12 What is BREW? C41 BTL1

Applications written in the BREW application framework can be deployed 0.4
across the majority of BREW-based devices, with slightly less cross-device
adaption than other frameworks. However BREW applications must go through a
costly and timely certification process and can be distributed only through an
operator.
13 What is Flash Lite C41 BTL1
Adobe Flash Lite is an application framework that uses the Flash Lite and 0.4

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

Action Script frameworks to create vector-based applications. Flash Lite

applications can be run within the Flash Lite Player, which is available in a handful
of devices around the world. Flash Lite is a promising and powerful platform, but
there has been some difficulty getting it on devices. A distribution service for
applications written in Flash Lite is long overdue.

computer.
36 What is a Web C41 BTL1
The Web is the only application framework that works across virtually all devices 0.4
and all platforms. A
37 What is Mobile Websites C41 BTL1
A Mobile Website is a website designed specifically for mobile devices, not to be 0.4
confused with viewing a site made for desktop browsers on a mobile browser.
38 Define Mobile Web Widgets C41 BTL1
A component of a user interface that operates in a particular way. A portable 0.4
chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTMLbased
web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation
39 What is Native Applications C41 BTL1
Native applications, which is actually a misnomer because a mobile web app or 0.4
mobile web widget can target the native features of the device as well. These
applications actually should be called “platform applications,” as they have to be
developed and compiled for each mobile platform.
40 Define Games C41 BTL1
The most popular of all media available to mobile devices. Technically games are 0.4
really just native applications that use the similar platform SDKs to create
immersive experiences
41 What is Site Maps C41 BTL1
The first deliverable we use to define mobile information architecture is the site 0.4
map. Site maps are a classic information architecture deliverable. They visually
represent the relationship of content to other content and provide a map for how the
user will travel through the informational space.
42 Define Context C41 BTL1
The context is core to the mobile experience. As the designer, it is your job to make 0.4
sure that the user can figure out how to address context using your app
43 What is Look and Feel C41 BTL1
The concept of “look and feel” is an odd one, being subjective and hard to define. 0.4
Typically, look and feel is used to describe appearance, as in “I want a clean look
and feel” or “I want a usable look and feel.”
44 Define Layout C41 BTL1
Layout is an important design element, because it is how the user will visually 0.4
process the page, but the structural and visual components of layout often get
merged together, creating confusion and making your design more difficult to
produce
45 What is a Color palettes? NOV/DEC2018 C41 BTL1
Defining color palettes can be useful for maintaining a consistent use of color in 0.4
your mobile design. Color palettes typically consist of a predefined number of

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

colors to use throughout the design.

46 Define Adaptive C41 BTL1
An adaptive palette is one in which you leverage the most common colors present 0.4
in a supporting graphic or image.
47 What is Font replacement C41 BTL1
The ability to use typefaces that are not already loaded on the device varies from 0.4
model to model and your chosen platform. Some device APIs will allow you to
load a typeface into your native application.
48 What is Iconography C41 BTL1
The most common form of graphics used in mobile design is icons. Iconography is 0.4
useful to communicate ideas and actions to users in a constrained visual space. The
challenge is making sure that the meaning of the icon is clear to the user.
49 What is Mobile Design Tools C41 BTL1
Mobile design requires understanding the design elements and specific tools. The 0.4
closest thing to a common design tool is Adobe Photoshop, though each framework
has a different method of implementing the design into the application.
50 Why they say Generously utilize headings? C41 BTL1
Break the content up in the screen, using text-based headings to indicate to the 0.4
user what is to come. Using different typefaces, color, and emphasis in headings
can also help create a readable page.
51 Give some examples of world largest mobile operators? C41 BTL1

Designing Web Interfaces – Drag & Drop, Direct Selection, Contextual Tools, Overlays,
Inlays and Virtual Pages, Process Flow. Case Studies

PART-A

Questions CO Bloom’
Q.No s Level
1 What is drag and drop? C41 BTL1
Just grab an object and drop it somewhere. 0.5

2 What is auto complete pattern? APR/MAY 2017 C41 BTL1

Auto-complete transforms a recall problem into one of recognition. As you 0.5
type into the search box, it tries to predict your query based on the
characters you have entered. Like a human interpreter mediating between
two people speaking different languages, auto-complete facilitates the
dialogue between the user and the search application.
3 What are the page elements available to include drop? C41 BTL1
• Page (e.g., static messaging on the page)

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

• Cursor 0.5
• Tool Tip
• Drag Object (or some portion of the drag object, e.g., title area of a
module)
• Drag Object’s Parent Container
• Drop Target
Apple uses a proprietary version of Mac OS X as a platform for their
iPhone and
iPod touch line of devices, which is based on Unix.

4 What are the Purpose of Drag and Drop? APR/MAY2018 C41 BTL1
● Drag and Drop Module 0.5
Rearranging modules on a page.
● Drag and Drop List
Rearranging lists.
● Drag and Drop Object
Changing relationships between objects.
● Drag and Drop Action
Invoking actions on a dropped object.
● Drag and Drop Collection
Maintaining collections through drag and drop
5 What is Drag and Drop Module? C41 BTL1
One of the most useful purposes of drag and drop is to allow the user to 0.5
directly place objects where she wants them on the page. A typical pattern is Drag
and Drop Modules on a page.
6 What are two common approaches to targeting a drop? C41 BTL1
● Placeholder target 0.5
● Insertion target
7 What is Boundary-based placement.? C41 BTL1
Placeholder targeting drag the module in its original size, targeting is 0.5
determined by the boundaries of the dragged object and the boundaries of the
dragged-over object. The mouse position is usually ignored because modules are
only draggable in the title (a small region).
8 What is Insertion target? C41 BTL1
Placeholder positioning is a common approach, but it is not the only way to 0.5
indicate droptargeting. An alternate approach is to keep the page as stable as
possible and only move around an insertion target (usually an insertion bar).
9 What are the types of overlays? APR/MAY 2017 C41 BTL1
o Dialog overlay 0.5
o Detail overlay

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

o Input overlay
10 What are the two ways to move objects around that supported by drag and C41 BTL1
drop? 0.5
● Edit the row number and then p • ress the “Update DVD Queue”
button.
● Click the “Move to Top” icon to pop a movie to the top.
11 What is Hinting at drag and drop? C41 BTL1
When the user clicks the “Move to Top” button, Netflix animates the movie 0.5
as it moves up. But first, the movie is jerked downward slightly and then spring-
loaded to the top.
12 What is drag lens? C41 BTL1
A drag lens provides a view into a different part of the list that can serve as a 0.5
shortcut target.
13 What is Drag and Drop Object? C41 BTL1
➢ Drag and Drop Object is used to rearrange members of the 0.5
organization.
➢ Normal display state
➢ Invitation to drag
➢ Dragging
➢ Dropped

14 When will a drop action l be will be invalid ? C41 BTL1

● The dragged object’s icon becomes a red invalid sign. 0.5
● If over an invalid folder, the folder is highlighted as well
15 When will a drop be valid? C41 BTL1
• The dragged object’s icon changes to a green checkmark. 0.5
• The drop target highlights
16 Define A good rule of thumb on drag initiation. C41 BTL1
Your application should provide drag feedback as soon as the user drags an 0.5
item at least three pixels. If a user holds the mouse button down on an
object or selected text, it should become draggable immediately and stay
draggable as long as the mouse remains down
17 Define non-obvious C41 BTL1
Requires some additional instructions to “Drag the DVDs into the boxes 0.5
below” in order for the user to know how to rate the movies
18 Define the term ‘Too much effort’. C41 BTL1
Requires too much user effort for a simple task. The user needs to employ 0.5
mouse gymnastics to simply rate a movie. Drag and drop involves these discrete
steps: target, then drag, then target, and then drop. The user has to carefully pick

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

the movie, drag it to the right bucket, and release.

19 What is Drag and Drop Collection? C41 BTL1
A variation on dragging objects is collecting objects for purchase, 0.5
bookmarking, or saving into a temporary area. This type of interaction is called
Drag and Drop Collection.
20 List out some of the best practices to keep in mind during the design of input C41 BTL1
overlay? NOV/DEC2017 0.5

● Clear focus
● Display Vs editing
● Anti-pattern

21 What are the types of selection patterns? C41 BTL1

▪ Toggle Selection 0.5
Checkbox or control-based selection.
▪ Collected Selection
Selection that spans multiple pages.
▪ Object Selection
Direct object selection.
▪ Hybrid Selection
22 Define toggle selection. C41 BTL1
The way to select an individual mail message is through the row’s 0.5
checkbox. Clicking on the row itself does not select the message. We call
this pattern of selection Toggle Selection since toggle-style controls are
typically used for selecting items.

23 What are the attributes of toggle selection? C41 BTL1

• Clear targeting, with no ambiguity about how to select the item or 0.5
deselect it.
• Straightforward discontinuous selection, and no need to know
about Shift or Controlkey ways to extend a selection. Just click the
checkboxes in any order, either in a continuous or discontinuous
manner.
• Clear indication of what has been selected

24 Define Collected Selection. C41 BTL1

Collected Selection is a pattern for keeping track of selection as it 0.5
spans multiple pages.
25 Define object selection. APR/MAY 2018 C41 BTL1
Object Selection, is when selection is made directly on objects

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

within the interface. 0.5

26 Define Fitts’s Law. C41 BTL1

Fitts’s Law is an ergonomic principle that ties the size of a target 0.5
and its contextual proximityto ease of use. Bruce Tognazzini restates it
simply as:“The time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and
size of the target”

27 Define Contextual Tools. C41 BTL1

Contextual Tools are the Web’s version of the desktop’s right-click 0.5
menus. Instead of havingto right-click to reveal a menu, we can reveal tools
in context with the content
28 What are the methods of contextual tools. C41 BTL1
➢ Always-Visible Tools 0.5
Place Contextual Tools directly in the content.
➢ Hover-Reveal Tools
Show Contextual Tools on mouse hover.
➢ Toggle-Reveal Tools
A master switch to toggle on/off Contextual Tools for the page.
➢ Multi-Level Tools
Progressively reveal actions based on user interaction.
➢ Secondary Menus
Show a secondary menu (usually by right-clicking on an object).

29 Define Discoverability C41 BTL1

Discoverability is a primary reason to choose Always-Visible Tools. On 0.5
the flip side, it
can lead to more visual clutter. In the case of Digg and Netflix, there is a
good deal of visualspace given to each item (story, movie).
30 Compare modal & non-modal overlays? NOV/DEC2017 C41 BTL2
0.5
Modal - When a window is modal it remains active and focused until the user has
finished with it and dismisses it. While it is active no other windows of the same
application can be activated. A modal window is therefore normally a child
window. The user needs to interract with it before control can be returned to the
parent application. In effect the parent application is locked and nothing proceeds
until the modal window is closed.

Non-Modal

So a non-modal window is the opposite. While it is active you can still activate
other windows. The user can switch between windows of the same application.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

The window being active does not prevent the rest of the application from
continuing

31 What is Placeholder target C41 BTL1

0.5
Net vibes uses a placeholder (hole with dashed outline) as the drop target. The hole
serves as a placeholder and always marks the spot that the dragged module will
and when dropped

32 What is Insertion target C41 BTL1

0.5
While the module is dragged, the page remains stable. No modules move around.
Insteadan insertion bar marks where the module will be placed when dropped.

33 How to do Toggle Selection C41 BTL1

0.5
The way to select an individual mail message is through the row’s checkbox.
Clicking onthe row itself does not select the message.

34 What is Collected Selection C41 BTL1

0.5
Toggle Selection is great for showing a list of items on a single page. Collected
Selection is a pattern for keeping track of selection as it spans multiple pages.

35 What is Object Selection C41 BTL1

0.5
Object Selection, is when selection is made directly on objects within the interface.

36 What is Hybrid Selection C41 BTL1

0.5
Hybrid Selection brings with it the best of both worlds. You can use the
checkbox selection model as well as normal row selection

37 What is Discoverability C41 BTL1

0.5
Gmail provides a single Always-Visible Tool in its list of messages—the
starrating—for flagging emails).Simply clicking the star flags the message as
important. The un starred state is rendered ina visually light manner, which
minimizes the visual noise in the list.

38 What is Hover and Cover C41 BTL1

0.5
Hover and Cover is a common anti-pattern that occurs when exposing an overlay
on hover and hiding important context or further navigation.

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

39 What is Toggle-Reveal Tools C41 BTL1

0.5
Toggle a tool mode for an area or page when the actions are not the main flow, but
you want to provide the most direct way to act on these objects when the need
arises.

40 Define Soft mode C41 BTL1

0.5
Generally, it is a good thing to avoid specific modes in an interface. However, if a
mode is soft it is usually acceptable. By “soft” we mean the user is not trapped in
the mode.

41 What is Muttons C41 BTL1

0.5
Another variation on Multi-Level Tools is the “mutton” (menu + button = mutton).
Muttons are useful when there are multiple actions and we want one of the actions
to be the default. Yahoo! Mail uses a mutton for its “Reply” button

42 What is Secondary Menu C41 BTL1

0.5
Desktop applications have provided Contextual Tools for a long time in the form
of Secondary Menus. These menus have been rare on the Web. Google Maps uses
a secondary menu that is activated by a right-click on a route.

43 What is Overlays C41 BTL1

0.5
Instead of going to a new page, a mini-page can be displayed in a lightweight layer
over the page. Overlays are really just lightweight pop ups. We use the term
lightweight to make a clear distinction between it and the normal idea of a browser
pop up.

44 List Three specific types of overlays C41 BTL1

0.5
Dialog Overlays

Detail Overlays

Input Overlays

45 What is Modality C41 BTL1

0.5
Overlays can be modal or non-modal. A modal overlay requires the user to interact
with it before she can return to the application. Sometimes overlays are non-modal.

46 Define Detail Overlay C41 BTL1

0.5
The Detail Overlay allows an overlay to present additional information when the

www.AUNewsBlog.net
 www.AUNewsBlog.net

user clicks or hovers over a link or section of content.

47 What is Input Overlay C41 BTL1

0.5
Input Overlay is a lightweight overlay that brings additional input information for
each field tabbed into.

48 Define Parallel content C41 BTL1

0.5
The Yahoo! Autos Car Finder tool uses an accordion-style interaction for
search filters that allows more than one pane to be open at a time. This choice
makes sense because the decisions needed for one detail pane may be affected by
the details of another pane.

49 What is Virtual Scrolling C41 BTL1

0.5
Every implementation of websites pagination was the key way to get to additional
content. This process led to long delays in loading the page.

50 What is Inline Paging C41 BTL1

0.5
Switching the content in and leaving the rest of the page stable, we can create an
Inline Paging experience

51 What do you mean by inlay? NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1

0.5
An inlay is a design or pattern on an object which is made by putting materials
such as wood, gold, or silver into the surface of the object.

52 List any four principles of designing rich web interface? NOV/DEC 2018 C41 BTL1
