" Look and Feel " Interface Design Tool for Educational Multimedia

چکیده
This paper discusses issues related to design approaches used by software development teams to create user interfaces for educational software. A research study that focuses on the description and analysis of different approaches, used in the in development of educational multimedia products, and their impact on the overall quality of the final product is discussed. Within the study, the inherent need for the “client-centred” design approach, in the development of educational software, was noted. A new approach to UI development that utilises an advisor tool is discussed. The advisor is used to help courseware development teams quickly produce the first draft of the “look and feel” UI design and discuss it with the client. This tool could potentially save time and money, which is currently being spent by educational courseware development companies on the preliminary interface design, a design that is often rejected by the client during the first meeting.

متن کاملGenerating UI for Pervasive Devices Using Pattern-Based Approach
It has been shown that the major effort spent on the design and implementation of the system software for pervasive devices (or handset device such as cellular phone) is the user interfaces (UI) . If UI can be developed in a short time, it can be a great help to reduce development time for application software system. Therefore, many researchers in software engineering area have been seeking be...
متن کاملTACTICS for User Interface Design: Coupling the Compositional and Transformational Approach
The paper describes TACTICS, the model and a modelbased tool capable of supporting a wide range of design decisions and providing assistance in the design process. The TACTICS tool automatically generates a user interface for an application and assists in refining it and in detecting and resolving design inconsistencies. The TACTICS model of human-computer interaction integrates a compositional...
