What You Need to Do

Success Tip

You can use the online texts, any notes that you have, and the available course pages in Canvas for help as you work on these questions. You can also talk to one another.

Analyze the design strategies that are used in an instructions document, determining whether the techniques that are used increase the readability and provide the reader with a positive user experience.

How This Activity Connects to the Course

You will evaluate the usability of a User Documentation webpage for your second Major Project. You can begin that work by applying the design analysis you’re practicing here to the documentation you are analyzing.

Assessment

Canvas automatically marks your work Complete when you submit it. All you have to do is TRY the activity. It’s okay if you make mistakes. Recognize however that if you have not put in an effort to do the work, I may remove the Complete mark.
