Interaction Exercise
INLS 180
Do the three following tasks and write a short (1 paragraph)
statement for each about how you interacted with information while executing
the task. For example, you may wish to report the number of turns taken by you
and the system (define what you mean by a turn, e.g., a turn on your part is
you entering a value or clicking on a link, a turn on the system’s part is a
response or prompt or mode change/initiation of a new action); you may wish to estimate
how much time your turns took versus how long the system’s turns took; or you
may want to define some other ways to describe the level of interaction for
each of these experiences.
- Go to the Carolina Inn website to see what rooms look
like.
- Go to Lands End website and order a customized shirt or
blouse (do not complete the purchase)
- Choose one of the following:
- Go to Wikipedia and edit the article ‘Library’ to add the
statement that the Davis Library on the UNC campus is a great library
- Go to http://www.shockwave.com/
or http://games.msn.com and play any
game of your choice (can be single or multiple player). Note that a
media player is required for most games and some want you to pay, so
simply back out before paying or subscribing. New windows are sometimes
launched that offer prizes (gimmicks) or other services, so be careful!
If you go to MSN, you will need to use IE to play the free online games.
