User centred (UCD) is an approach that supports the entire development process in which a product is developed for the end users needs, not a product that is going to force the end user to change he’s actions to use the product. The users needs, wants and limitations are a focus at all stages within the design process and development lifecycle. Using the UCD methodology optimizes the final product for the end user. Typical UCD activities are broken down into four phases in the development lifecycle: analysis, design, implementation and launch. Four UCD principles: • Focus on real end-users • Validate requirements and designs • Design, prototype, and develop iteratively • Understand and design for the holistic user experience Benefits of …show more content…
When a product is in its design stage any problems that occur to the user will be easily changed. Also when a product goes live there shouldn’t be many amendments, this will save the user/company money. • Reducing user stress The product is designed for the user, so the user wants/needs the product to be easy to used. If the product was complicated to use the user would get stressed causing the quality of work or customer service to be hindered, but if the product is easier to use then it would be less stressful for the user. Business benefits (For the Airport) • Cheaper — decreases costs of design/development • Faster — shortens development time • Lower Risk — decreases the risk of project slippage, and radically improved chances of user adoption. • Higher Satisfaction – Users are more satisfied with the system and understand key system capabilities QUESTION TWO With reference to an airport check-in desk, how might different definitions of anthropometry and RULA analyses be used to identify risk factors associated with the workplace? In your answer please make reference to various design strategies could you implement for a range of workers in this workplace. RULA Analysis Rapid upper limb assessment is a process where an individual workers exposure to ergonomic risk factors that come from upper extremity is evaluated. The RULA assessment tool considers biomechanical and postural load requirements of job tasks/demands on the neck, trunk and upper
Some assessment tests that can be done to determine areas of occupational dysfunction important to the person are the Canadian Occupational Performance (COPM) interview, the Robinson Bashall Functional Assessment, the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), manual muscle tests, the goniometer, and the dynamometer and pinch meter (Hammond, pp 257). The Robinson Bashall Functional Assessment, as well as the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire, is a functional assessment that allows the therapist to get a better understanding of the practical capabilities of patients that are suffering from RA. The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills allows an accurate estimate of ability to do IADLs based on performance of three tasks.
Based on Walsh’s (2007) article, explain why end-user satisfaction should be used in addition to return on investment (ROI) when measuring new systems.
(B) It is very important that the employer thinks about the physical setting for office such as workplace design, office environment, where to place monitors as well as the organization of the work and individual work habits. Operators must be familiar with work-related health problems and be given the opportunity to participate in the management of these. Operators should take note of and follow the preventive measures outlined below.
| Effectively and can gather information to correlate performance and satisfaction among different groups of users.
Step 4 (Wrist Twist) was scored as a +1 because minimal twisting action were required. For step 5, the precious scores were plotted in Table A of the RULA guide which resulted in an overall score of 4. Step 6 and step 7 both resulted in a +1 score due to the repetitiveness of the process and the weight of the objects handled by the employee. Step 8 consisted of adding the values of steps 5-7 (4+1+1 respectively) to indicate an overall wrist/arm score of 6. Step 9 (Neck Position) resulted in a +2 because the employee’s neck primarily stayed within the 0-20 degree range. Step 10 (Trunk Position) in a +3 because the individual was bent forward at a 20-60 degree angle. Step 11 (Legs) resulted in a +1 because the employee’s legs were stable and supported. Using Table B (Trunk Posture Score) resulted in a score of 4 for step 12. Steps 13 and 14 both resulted in a +1 score because the of the weight of the objects handled and number of repetitive tasks. Step 15 indicated a final score of 6 for the neck, trunk and legs. Plotting the final scores while using Table C of the RULA guide resulted in a final score of 7. This result indicates that major ergonomics risk factors were prevalent at this workstation and significant engineering and administrative controls are needed. (Stack, Ostrom, & Wilhelmsen, 2016)
Briefly describe Universal Design for Learning. Make sure to include the three principles of UDL.
Improved effectiveness: Board and stakeholders provide a standard approach with the ability to ask right question. Boards, business and IT departments can communicate effectively between themselves and their suppliers. Customers and supplier engage in a familiar process by addressing questions and providing information which increases the productivity. Candidates can be hired more easily with recognised expertise and become more effective.
And the disabilities of the Arm shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire would be used to assess client’s current upper extremities (UEs) functional difficulty using injured arm. The assessment would guide therapist to have a comprehensive understanding of client’s disability using UE in order to perform active daily living (ADLs), IADLs, and occupations.
The advantages include better understanding of the industry, lower cost because of the reduced amount of work
Various researches results several observational methods, which has focus on the different of body segments. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment
Reduction of cost, rectifying human error prone process, centralized database makes project the interest of the Organization. I am sure this is taken care with optimum utilization of resources.
#1 I propose that the summation of UDL is as follows: UDL is a template for creating instructional design that works for everyone. It is not a one-size-fits-all solutions but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs (UDL). UDL is an understanding of the idiosyncrasies of each learner and their distinct variants.
A linear actuator (propriety part) controls the airbrake actuation to the required angle, and the assembly must withstand the stated aerodynamic loading.
