I will be reporting on User Centered Information Systems Design on Saturday. To start with, I have the following objectives and presentation plans.
LIS 267- Class Reporting / January 14, 2006
Topic: User Centered Information System Design
Coverage: This report looks into the user centered approach as a paradigm for designing information systems. It focuses on the background of User Centered Information System Design (ISD); the components that make up a User Centered ISD and the relationship of these components in a User Centered ISD. This will be followed by the different information needs of users namely, the cognitive model, the social model and the organizational model, and how these affect the interaction of users to an information system. The remaining topics on design directions, and implications of expressed information needs on information systems will be taken up afterwards.
Objectives:
1. To be cognizant of the User Centered approach to information systems design;
2. To develop an awareness of the components that make up a User Centered ISD;
3. To understand the models of information needs, its relevance and how these models affect a user’s interaction with an information system.
