Research Paper
A usability evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:
Service Quality (Group 5, 6)
Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties. Usability integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user. And in this assignment, you will unravel each of the quality dimensions or how satisfaction ties back to a usability evaluation.
For this assignment, as a team, you are asked to explore the topic assigned to your group. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above. Within each quality dimension or satisfaction measure, there are sub-measures! Explore them and better understand how they are important to usability evaluation.
Each group will write a paper that covers the following:
Abstract
Title Page
Introduction
Literature Review of Concept
Make Recommendations of Additional Ideas For Future Literature Review Consideration
