User-Centered Privacy Communication Design

In this paper, we describe a user-centered privacy policy design project that we undertook at Stanford Legal Design Lab, in order to generate new models of business-to-consumer communications around data privacy. From our preliminary user research, rapid prototyping and testing, and refinement of new privacy communication designs, focused on a very particular archetype – a 20-40 year old who is...

Human - Centered Vs . User - Centered Approaches to Information System Design

Despite continuing debates about the "user" emphasis in HCI, new design approaches, such as interaction design, continue to focus on humans as technology users, constraining the human-centeredness of design outcomes. This paper argues that the difference between "user" focus and a human-centered focus lies in the way in which technology is designed. The emphasis on problem closure that is embed...

Improving the Quality of Numerical Software Through User-Centered Design

Improving the Usability of Numerical Software through User-Centered Design

The software interface C whether graphical, command-oriented, menu-driven, or in the form of subroutine calls C shapes the user's perception of what software can do. It also establishes upper bounds on software usability. Numerical software interfaces typically are based on the designer's understanding of how the software should be used. That is a poor foundation for usability, since the featur...
