A Web-based Human Computer Interaction Audit Tool to Support Collaborative Cognitive Ergonomics Within Interaction Design

Abstract

There are many user interface design and development principles within the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). When implementing a project, it can often be difficult to ensure that these design principles are being considered and that a positive user experience is being achieved. This paper outlines the proposition of an interactive HCI audit tool designed to aid in the adherence to various key HCI principles during the interactive design process. It is also anticipated that this tool will enhance cognitive ergonomics within the field of interaction design by assimilating existing knowledge into prototypes for practical usage. Additionally, the tool should support team-based collaboration in working towards human-computer systems that provide a quality user experience.
