There are several techniques used in the documentation process. As a system analyst I would propose to the members of this group a straightforward standardized approach. A reasonable suggestion for this project would be to use the Procedure Manual technique for documenting this system. The Procedure Manuals will provide instructions on how to operate and understand how the system works. These manuals are also used as a guide that can be updated at different intervals for future users. Procedure Manuals are also made available to users via the Web. This new approach has made it convenient for users to seek support in a much faster way by offering a FAQ page, and online chat (Kendall & Kendall, 2011). In

In my previous milestone paper, I identified a fundamental challenge that we must overcome in the launch of our application to our target market: Users must be educated in using our application the right way. I identified this as a fundamental problem because our application will not be able to keep the promise of safeguarding users if they do not use the product correctly. The consequences deriving from untrained users are considerably important, as the life of our users can depend on it.

Assessment Principles. Learning outcomes 2, 3, 4 and 5 must be assessed in the work

The purpose of developing this software application is to make it easy to access for the users and single data user interface for many different

Another way of successfully gathering information is by building a prototype or model of the system, so that users can test or get an idea of what the finished product will be like. With this they can determine issues, problems, or inconsistency with the system. Another important part of gathering information is organizing it so that it can be understood and put to proper use. I propose categorizing the requirements into functional requirements, operational requirements, technical requirements, and transitional requirements. The functional requirements define how the user thinks the system is functioning overall, the operational requirements define what background processes need to be executed in order for the system to work optimally over a period of time, the technical requirements define what technical issues that must be addressed in order to successfully implement the system, and the transitional requirements define the processes or steps needed to implement the system smoothly and successfully.

provided to each participant. No participant was given the full intention of the study. This

Similarly, there exist several sources for measurement of error: the questionnaire, the data collection method, the interviewer, and the respondent. The questionnaire utilized was not provided in the report. Therefore, evaluation of the question wording effects and the response categories for questions cannot be made. However, according to the Pew Research, translation was carefully cared out in a multi-step process and data collection was meticulously recorded.

• At the end of the questionnaire, the individual is given points in each category of learning

You will be asked to fill out a short pre-test survey before initiating the instructions.

Pryor to undertaking this activity I did not understand the basic skills required in order to make computer use easier. In the past I completed computer task based off of head knowledge and at times I would find myself completing my assignments in long periods of time. Though technology has improved I have become comfortable with old technology and have not tried to explore current updates until now. When presented with the opportunity to update my computer I would often not take advantage of the opportunity. This assignment allowed me to have a hands on experience that assisted me in learning the basic use of a computer.

This application is built using java as the programming language. Java has lot of features which make it a choice of developers for application development. Few of the features are listed below.

Contextual inquiry is developed by Beyer and Holtzblatt (1988). The data is collected through contextual inquiry. Contextual inquiry is a qualitative study from various field such as psychology, anthropology and sociology (Ghasemifard, Shamsi, Kenari, & Ahmadi, 2015). Therefore contextual inquiry method is carried out to assist the cognitive performance among users. The first step taken is to observe users based on the usability testing methods in their cognitive performance while using the app. Then questions are asked based on the existing problem discovered and the process taken by users in completing their task through the app. There are four evaluators that participated in this study to observe the usability of the application created and at the same time to jot down different performances that may occur simultaneously in terms of their cognitive actions.

IRB standards were met - Participants were asked to sign consent form at the beginning of the class indicating their willingness to participate in the evaluation. All participants were given a card to mail in if they did not want to be contacted for the follow-up telephone calls.

User training and documentation would be provided to users to get them accustomed to the technology

Oral Assessment instruments should have an acceptable level of reliability in terms of internal consistency, test and re-test reliability and alternative form reliability. Its content must also have the necessary validity to be a valid assessment instrument, must be predictive and concurrent.
