Session 6
Siegfried Treu · 1977
Workshop participants were provided the following description of this session:The material to be covered in Sessions 2 through 5 will tend to be mainly "prescriptive" in nature, based on the collective experience and intuition of those in attendance as well as on isolated and largely imported (from other disciplines or specialities) bits of theory and empirical evidence. But to really address "user-oriented design" in its full from, bringing it down to a useful, operational level, we must be concerned with methodological questions which, if suitably answered, will provide welcome guidance and assistance to designers. This session is intended to construct a framework of approaches to graphic system design which will be intimately coupled with techniques for testing and evaluating the graphical interface/interaction with respect to the user-oriented characteristics suggested in previous sessions. We will therefore strive to determine whether those user-oriented goals indicated in Session 2 can be attained.
