This assignment is due on Monday,
This assignment addresses the research component of this course and
replaces the final exam assessing all learning outcomes and objectives of the
course.
Since the movement of classes from face-to-face to online, we have trialled various
different software packages for Practical sessions. One of the new packages is
Creately, link: creately.com, and the owner has given us permission to test and trial
it this semester. We would like to organise a report for the owner to explain how it
was used, the advantages and disadvantages of working in Creately remotely and
make some recommendations for future enhancements. Finally, we would like you
to perform some usability testing on Creately, and compare it with Trello, Teams
and Collaborate Ultra.
(a) (5 marks) Explain how a group could collaborate in a practical session within
Creately and design one group task to be undertaken by a group of four people.
(b) (5 marks) Compare this with how groups can collaborate within Trello,
Collaborate Ultra and Teams.
(c) (5 marks) Perform the task you have designed in all four systems: Creately,
Trello, Collaborate Ultra and Teams. Explain how you measured whether or not
the task was completed and was successful. Put the results into a table for easy
comparison, see below.
(d) (5 marks) Add two extra rows to the table for advantages and disadvantages of
each system.
(e) (5 marks) rank each system with respect to the other for delivery of practical
sessions in usability engineering.
