Apply Usability Principles
Use evidence and design criteria to apply usability principles.
Builds on (2 levels back)inferred · high confidence
- Criteria and constraints: Design work needs success targets and limits before testing.
- Evidence-based iteration: Changes should trace to data, feedback, or a failed criterion.
Prerequisites are inferred: pending teacher review.
Re-learn the skill with worked practice and clear examples.
Use evidence and design criteria to apply usability principles.
Step 1: Learn the key
Start with the user [blank], define criteria and [blank], test the prototype, then [blank] from evidence.
Step 2: Use the model
Read the figure, table, control, range, or protocol before choosing an answer.
Step 3: Name the limit
Say what the evidence can support and what it cannot prove yet.
Practice
Use the design cycle figure. Which sequence is evidence-based?
Reviewed- A.Need -> criteria -> test -> revise
- B.Revise -> hide data -> guess -> submit
- C.Prototype once and never test
- D.Choose color before need
Show the worked solution ▾
Answer: A. Need -> criteria -> test -> revise
- Step 1: Read the cycle: The figure shows need, criteria, test, and iterate.
- Step 2: Use evidence: Revision comes after testing.
Why it's right: This sequence uses test evidence to revise.
Why the others miss:
- B: Hiding data is not design.
- C: Testing is required.
- D: Need comes before color choices.

Guided notes
Fill these in as you work through the lesson.
Big idea: Use evidence and design criteria to apply usability principles.
Key terms: write the meaning
- Criterion (what success must do):
- Constraint (limit on solution):
- Prototype (testable early version):
- Iteration (revision based on evidence):
The rule
Start with the user , define criteria and , test the prototype, then from evidence.
Check yourself
- What user need is being solved?
- What criterion or constraint is shown?
- What evidence tells you to revise?
Work one example
Use a prototype test result to practice apply usability principles with a criterion, constraint, and next step.
