Research into current considerations in User Interface Design for your coursework prototype.
Discuss the sets of (usability/design) guidelines and standards available (there are many) for your

Briefly conclude how the above is relevant and what you intend to apply in your prototype.
3. User Groups
List the key facts about your user group(s) (based on research and facts needs to be referenced)

develop further. This must not be a summary of the report.
References
These should only refer to the work cited in your report and should be formatted using the Harvard
