Order Usability Engineering Discussion
This assignment is due on Monday, June 8, 2020, at 9am
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.
