Q5 | Which is the best definition of an interface metaphor?
- in broad terms, the kind of technical and software framework within which human system interaction takes place (e.g., wimp, mobile, tangible)
- is used in the interface tohelp the user understand what to do (e.g., click on tabs to change windowcontents, use shopping cart
- inputs and receive information from the system (e.g., click and drag an object, talk to an object, move self closer to an object, converse with
- the conceptual model used to guide the design of the interface.
Q6 | Regarding paper prototypes:
- low-fidelity paper prototypes are hand- drawn sketches and designed to be thrown away
- high-fidelity paper prototypes look too much like a finished design.
- high-fidelity paper prototypes are designed on-screen and then printed out in colour.

Q9 | What is a principal limitation of multimedia as a means for presenting educational material, according to Rogers and Aldrich (1996)?
- learners may fixate on just one medium, such as text, and not process further information available in other media.
- learners may hop between media and only partially process the information in each one.
- learners may feel that they are being patronised
- learners may need tools to help them keep track of the information with which they have and have not yet engaged.

- programmer and the computer
Q13 | What are the elements of the Gulf of Execution?
- information processing elements involved in working out what the system did
- information processing elements involved in working out how to interact with the system
- forming intentions, specifying right action, selecting appropriate interface mechanism.
- processing the interface, interpreting interface information, and assessing information meaning.
Q14 | What was an important early drawback of the Clearboard system by Ishii et al. (1993).
- it required people to move to a dedicated video conferencing facility at their workplace
- as people moved closer tothe board to talk with a remote colleague, the video system no longer picked them up

Q22 | Which is the best definition of an interaction paradigm?
- in broad terms, the kind of technical and software framework within which human system interaction takes place (e.g., wimp, mobile, tangible)
- an idea from the world that is used in the interface to help the user understand what to do (e.g., click on tabs to change window contents, use shopping cart to store items to purchase)
- what the human does to make inputs and receive information from the system (e.g., click and drag an object, talk to an object, move self closer to an object, converse with an entity, etc)
