“…Most cases are given to students in the form of printed text. Other forms of cases include video simulation (Lin, 2010;Yu, 2010), digital format (Smith, Vega, & McCrickard, 2008), multimedia (Carroll & Rosson, 2006;Taran, Miller, Seela, & Shojaeddini, 2009) or web-based (Taran et al, 2009). Cases can also contain images, audio and video to engage students (Taran et al, 2009).…”

Software Engineering (SE) education has been reported to fall short in producing high quality software engineers. In seeking alternative solutions, Case Method (CM) is regarded as having potential to solve the issue. CM is a teaching and learning (T&L) method that has been found to be effective in Social Science education. In principle, instructors should be guided appropriately in order to adopt CM in T&L. SE education however lacks of such guidelines. This paper addresses this concern by identifying the factors and their corresponding elements and conditions that contribute to the effective use of CM in T&L SE courses. The factors, elements and conditions were then collated as a framework in the form of a guideline. The factors, elements and conditions were gathered through a series of studies, namely a theoretical study, two surveys and two expert reviews. The theoretical study involved reviewing previous research, while the surveys were performed with five groups of students who experienced CM in learning SE courses. The students were from various education and work backgrounds. Two types of survey instruments were employed, which are questionnaire and group interviews. To form the guideline, the gathered data were analysed qualitatively using contents analysis. The guideline was then validated by two experts through expert reviews. There are four main factors that constitute the guideline of using CM in T&L SE courses: Case, Instructor, Student and Infrastructure. Each factor has its corresponding elements and conditions. The guideline is useful for SE instructors to adopt CM in T&L SE courses at their institutions.

“…In the same way that a two-dimensional, paper-and-pencil drawing captures the essence of a physical design, interaction design wireframes are meant to vividly represent the essence of an interaction design [11]. There have been many cases of using these approaches in terms of human-computer interaction and flood prediction and warning systems [12][13][14][15][16]. The use of different technologies in order to accomplish this is another important task.…”

This article discusses the design, development, and usability assessment of a mobile system for producing hydrological predictions and sending flood warnings in response to the desire for human-centered technology to better the management of flood occurrences. Our work acts as a bibliographic reference for understanding what others have attempted and found, as well as gives an integrated set of recommendations. Furthermore, our guidelines offer guidance to aid in the design of mobile GIS-based hydrological models for mobile devices. We concentrate on the full design of a human–computer interaction framework for an effective flood prediction and warning system. In addition, we analyze and address the current user needs and requirements for building a user interface for mobile real-time flood forecasting in a methodical manner. Although a functional prototype was created, the primary objective of this research was to comprehend the complexity of possible users’ demands and actual use situations in order to solve the problem of comparable systems being difficult to use. After consulting with possible consumers, application design standards were established and implemented in the initial prototype. Focusing on user demands and attitudes, special consideration was given to the usability of the mobile interface. To develop the application, a variety of assessment methods are added. The conclusion of the examination was that the system is efficient and effective.

In this paper we explore the design of a museum system developed to increase accessibility to and interaction with a museum collection. We conducted a case study in which we interviewed participants involved in the design project, and reviewed documentation that spanned a decade of planning, building, and implementation. The goal of this research is to explore information interaction through the lens of a interdisciplinary team, which consisted of systems and museum personnel.In doing so, we emphasize the human and collaborative elements of design, and the human-to-human exchange in developing technology in the museum setting.Information interaction research has approached the topic of design from a viewpoint of deficiencies, focusing on the chasm between design and use. The transition from system-centered, to user-centered, to interaction-centered [4] approaches has enabled us to see users in a more holistic way; information interactions are complex and shaped by users' actions within and reactions to their environments, as well as their cognitions and emotions.However, our focus on the user has promoted the "invisibility" of the system [12]; invisible systems promote engaging experiences for our users by minimizing interruptions due to usability issues. Saracevic's [20] Stratified Model of Information Retrieval is comprised of the: 1) Surface Level (inputs and outputs); 2) User Level (cognitive, affective, and situational information interaction); 3) Processing Level (software and the programming languages that run it); and 4) Content Level (text, images, etc. and meta-data). The Stratified Model demonstrates the complexity of
