Week 7

__**Write a description of interaction architecture as defined by Mat Hunter at http://www.designinginteractions.com/interviews/MatHunter and Rikako Sakai at http://www.designinginteractions.com/interviews/RikakoSakai in relation to their work with Kodak in 1995.**__

Interaction architecture is about using an extensible series of rules that would allow not only one camera, but a series of cameras to be designed. In order to communicate the results of their work, a user experience prototype was used to express what was going on with the camera, how to use it, and how it felt. Designing software in a way that minimizes steps and uses animation for instructions is very helpful for the user.

 * __In addition, as you will be creating a questionnaire for your major assignment, read the article at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/cs6751_97_winter/Topics/quest-design/ to help you formulate the question. How does the author define 'leading questions' and 'hypothetical questions'? Write a paragraph each to define these terms.__**

__Leading questions__: A leading question forces or implies a specific type of answer with the choice of answers being closed yet still covering the whole range of responses. For example, Not good; Okay; Good; Excellent.

__Hypothetical questions:__ A hypothetical question should not be used in a questionnaire. It is a question that does not produce clear or consistent data. This type of question pushes the respondent to give thought to something he/she may have never considered thus the answer does not provide real opinion, just an answer based on the respondent’s imagination.
