Lecture Usabilty Part 2

Today's lecture really followed off from last weeks lecture. Once again I found it hard to concentrate, perhaps this is because this class is my last for the week. Danial started to talk about how the design of the application is important to make it usable to the user.

He then told us that we should start looking at different things to see in the way they are designed. Everything is designed for a reason. We should look at the good and bad points.

We then looked at jakob Nielsen's usability triangle. jakob Nielsen's. Danial talked about the different headings of the triangle.
