◾Typeform is an online form builder which helps to collect and share data. Typeform differs from other form builders by collecting data in a conversational form with its unique design. http://www.softorwebapp.com/2018/05/typeform-build-conversational-forms.html

When it comes to the usability of forms there is a lot of research and a lot of factors to consider. This presentation reviews a large body of research on various aspects of form usability and user experience. It covers three broad categories: 1. Accessibility, 2. Context & 3. Design

Everyone can agree: filling out forms can be painful, boring and long! However, forms allow brands and sites to collect vital information and are often a first or key interaction in a service's interface. With this in mind, it's essential to carefully design forms to make sure you are delivering the best possible user experience! We've compiled a list of a few best practices that can make forms intuitive and playful, creating a more positive relationship between consumers and brands.

This document provides guidance on completing an assignment to write a white paper comparing two digital tools or apps. It outlines the following steps: 1.

Slide presentation for the South Florida User Experience Meetup on Forms. Looks as login forms, form alignment, and best practices.

The pleasurable UX behind a form lies in understanding the needs and giving attention to the minute details. Our aim should be to create an effortless interface with clear labels and the most appropriate input field to reduce the effort and cognitive load of the user. Implementing design heuristics like Visibility of status, user’s freedom, consistency; will help you to build a brilliant design and make you understand the reasons behind the form’s UX.

Overview of the visual principles for designing better digital forms, as well as practical dos and don'ts from real-(web)-life examples. Presented at the front-end meetup in Skopje @ Hacklab KIKA on 09.02.2016.

The document provides tips for improving the usability of web forms. It discusses the six key components of forms: labels, input fields, actions, help text, messages, and validation. It then gives guidance on each component, such as using sentence case for labels, clearly distinguishing mandatory and optional fields, and providing error messages prominently. The goal is to make forms as easy as possible for users to complete while collecting necessary information.

The document discusses various methods for measuring user experience (UX), including observing how users interact with an application, listening to their feedback, and analyzing usage data. It recommends conducting task-based observations of users thinking out loud and recording their screens. Surveys can gather general feedback, while specialized questions should avoid bias. Eye tracking and usage logs provide objective data on what users look at and do. Heuristic evaluation involves rating an app against usability best practices. Together, these methods support continuous UX improvement.

Frameworks like Bootstrap provide accessibility benefits but also risks if not implemented correctly. Common issues include non-semantic elements styled as buttons or headings, confusing screen reader users. Frameworks also may not fully explain interactive elements like dropdowns and modals. Developers must understand fundamentals of accessibility and not rely solely on frameworks being accessible "out of the box".

This document provides guidance and questions for students on formatting and editing documents. It discusses formatting elements like fonts, colors, bullets, and lists and their importance. Students are asked questions to help them understand when and how to appropriately apply different formatting options in documents like reports, articles, and emails. They are also tasked with practicing formatting skills in Word and reviewing their abilities in a checklist.

This document provides guidance on completing Assignment 6 which involves individually testing and comparing two digital tools or apps. It outlines the steps to complete a usability test of the tools, including choosing two similar tools, performing tasks with each tool while taking notes, and writing a white paper summarizing the findings. The white paper should follow a specific format, including an introduction describing what was tested and why, a methods section detailing the tasks performed, a results section presenting the test findings and any issues encountered, and a recommendation section advising potential users on the tools. Examples of tool categories and specific tools that could be tested are also provided.

Discussion post "Architectural Styles" Please respond to the following: · Analyze two architectural styles of your choosing and, for each, give an example of a real-world application whose software design would benefit by incorporating your chosen style. Justify your response. · Evaluate the driving factors or conditions that affect the selection of an architectural style for a given open-source software application. Provide two examples of these conditions and how they help determine an application’s architectural style. JR’s post states the following:Top of Form Data centric style- a data store will be in the center of the architecture and accessed by other components that update, add, delete or modify the data present within the store (2008). I think this type of design would work best with organizations like Walmart and Amazon. This style is flexible and promotes integrability.  Layered style- divided style is divided into various horizontal layers and each layer has some specific function.  It’s a beneficial style because different individuals/teams can work on different layers that they’re knowledgeable about and most efficient. I think this style would best for bank applications.   I think the budget and the client/users would affect the selected style.  Depending on what type of budget is in place affects where the money is allocated to therefore selecting the most cost-effective options. The user/client affects the style because developers would have to select an option that would be most effective for the client and the end goal.  Reference  https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/DC_Infra2_5/DCInfra_1.htm NM’s post states the following:Top of Form Architectural Styles" Please respond to the following: Analyze two architectural styles of your choosing and, for each, give an example of a real-world application whose software design would benefit by incorporating your chosen style. Justify your response. The architectural style is a particular pattern that focuses on the large-scale of a system. And it is about selecting, adapting, and integrating several architectural styles in ways that best produce the desired result (Pfleefer & Atlee, 2010). Two architectural styles: Component-based and pipe-and-filter. Component-base is a method of software development whereby systems are created by assembling preexisting components (Graca, 2017). Meaning it reduced design complexity in each part solves smaller problems. Component reuse—reuse algorithm and environment model in a web application. And unit testing—where it eliminates retesting for durable components and reduces the cost of verification. A web developer uses component-based to the created web application to be more composable and performant. And the server API is more application. Pipe-and-filter—system functionality is achieved by passing input data through a sequence of data-transforming components called filters to produce output data (Graca, 201 ...

This document discusses the concepts of meaning, function, ritual, and myth as they relate to product design. It defines each concept and provides examples of how the meaning of products can change over time, context, gender, age, and culture. The document also describes a study where users and designers evaluated products and assessed whether their meaning was primarily functional, ritual-based, or myth-driven. The study found some differences in perspective between users and designers. Finally, the document presents a framework for designing for meaning that involves understanding pre-existing meanings, creating new meanings through metaphor, and aligning product characteristics to communicate the intended meaning.

This document discusses issues related to privacy, data collection, and algorithms on social media platforms. It notes the types of personal data Facebook collects from users, including names, photos, locations, interests and messages. It also lists some rights users have over their data under GDPR regulations. The document advocates for more transparency from companies around how user data is collected and used to generate profits through advertising. It calls for options for users to opt into data collection rather than opt out, and for platforms to consider how bad actors could exploit their systems to prevent misuse of data and user harm.
