Q
Describe how a well-designed Human-Computer Interface (HCI) can satisfy the needs of an adult novice user of a software application. [3]
A
An HCI design for a novice user should prioritise ease of use.
A novice user will need clear a navigation structure though the application, for example using hyperlinks and menus.
A consistent colour scheme will help with signposting.
A novice user will prefer wizards, rather than selecting settings individually.
They will need help screens and tutorials to get them started and to overcome difficulties.
