What is an assumption in interaction design?

• A fact that has been thoroughly tested and proven

• A statement that requires no further investigation

• Taking something for granted when it needs further investigation

• A final decision made during the design process

What does a claim refer to in interaction design?

• A proven fact that requires no further validation

• A statement that is considered true but is still open to question

• An assumption that has been fully verified

• A rule that must be followed in all design processes

What is the purpose of orientation?

• To enable design teams to ask specific questions about how the conceptual model will be understood

• To finalize the design without considering user understanding

• To focus only on the visual aesthetics of the interface

• To eliminate the need for user feedback in the design process

Why is being open-minded important?

• It prevents design teams from becoming narrowly focused early on.

• It ensures that only one design idea is pursued without considering alternatives.

• It allows designers to ignore user feedback and make independent decisions.

• It limits creativity by following strict guidelines from the beginning.

What is the purpose of establishing common ground in a design team?

• To allow each team member to use their own unique terms without agreement
  

• To establish a set of commonly agreed terms for better collaboration

• To focus only on technical implementation and ignore communication

• To prevent team members from discussing design ideas openly

What is a conceptual model?

• A low-level technical specification of a system’s code

• A high-level description of how a system is organized and operates

• A detailed user interface design without considering system functionality

• A final prototype that does not change during development

How do metaphors and analogies help in interaction design?

• They make a product more complex and harder to understand

• They help users understand what a product is for and how to use it for an activity.

• They eliminate the need for user instructions.

• They are only used for decorative purposes in interface design.

What is the purpose of interface metaphors in interaction design?

• To allow each team member to use their own unique terms without agreement

• To establish a set of commonly agreed terms for better collaboration

• To focus only on technical implementation and ignore communication

• To prevent team members from discussing design ideas openly

Which of the following best describes the instructing interaction type in interaction design?

• Issuing commands and selecting options to control the system

• Interacting with a system as if having a conversation

• Physically manipulating objects on the screen

• Navigating a virtual environment using gestures

What does the conversing interaction type refer to in interaction design?

• Issuing direct commands to a system

• Interacting with a system as if having a conversation

• Physically manipulating interface elements

• Selecting options from a menu without system feedback
