Artefact 5 - Evaluation

After discovering how interaction enhances the web application and that the most successful form of interaction is mouse effects. I chose to ask a controlled questionnaire with supporting imagery and links to a group of participant’s. The questions where based around two existing web applications. I wanted the artefact to not only gain information on genre but accumulate evidence that supports the pervious artefacts theories.

This artefact has concluded my research with accurate data that clarifies my theories and results from pervious artefacts. It gave me data that supported the results that websites do interact with the audience.
The genre was one of the variables I looked at in this specific artefact. The results showed me that genre isn’t an enhancing factor unlike structure. This was shown because everyone is different with different personal opinions and choices on what looks and works well. It showed how some websites visuals could be appealing to a set group but then not be interesting to a different set of candidates. I discovered that genre all depends on the audience and has a lot of factors that can act against it or with it. These factors mainly focus around people’s personality. This is a key factor to act on a person’s response to the genre of a web application. Personality is a confounding variable in the interaction between user and website. Section one proved this with evidence and data that constantly had mixed responses.

In the primary research I have done in this module I have discovered that to engage an audience or group of people with an online application it must have some form of interaction. In addition to this I found the most productive technique to do this is through the F model structure with mouse interactions. There is no particular genre that works best it’s all down to general preference.
