What approaches are available to visualize interface designs? Review a range of options and cite examples of any of the approaches that you, yourself, have used.
The approaches are pencil sketching; stylus or finger drawing on tablet devices; prototyping software or app, such as Invision: http://www.invisionapp.com/
Pencil sketching is a really effective way to quickly externalize ideas. Sketches on paper can be captured using a digital camera or scanner, edited, stored and shared online;
Stylus or finger drawing on tablet devices offers a similar experience to sketching on paper. These have the advantage that no paper is needed and sketches are originated in digital form, being editable and instantly available to share.
Prototyping software can be used to create interactive prototype and then test it.Another prototyping Tool: https://popapp.in

What tools are available to help elicit feedback from users? Be specific about the approaches and their characteristics.
1) Desk research and data gathering. It can be used to get user’s information from existed research.
2) Card sorting. It can deliver insights into what users expect from an interactive design. The elements of the design are described on individual cards and the user is asked to arrange them into a logical structure. Card sorting can be moderated or un-moderated with sessions delivered face to face or online.
3) Contextual inquiry. It aims to provide a realistic view of users and their environment. It involves spending time with users and observing their activities in the context of the proposed interactive design. This could be at home or at work or in a specific situation, such as using a public transport ticketing system. A well-designed contextual inquiry will reveal aspects of the user experience that will be missed by other forms of research, but it is expensive to undertake.
4) Content experiment. It can be used to test different versions of a live website. The design team can receive minute-by-minute reports of their success in delivering goals for the user and for the site owners. The method is a development of A-B testing where two versions of a web page are compared by alternating their availability to users. Content experiments allow discreet changes to a web page’s content to be made and tested. Content experiments make it possible to measure the reaction of users to different visual and interaction elements and refine designs in an objective and quantifiable way.
What is a “prototype”? What are the two types of prototype? What are the characteristics and benefits of each?
A prototype is a model of an interactive design that can be used as a basis for developing improvements in the design. Low fidelity vs. High fidelity.
Low fidelity – it looks and feels like a sketchbook version of the design;
High fidelity – it simulates the look and feel of the proposed final design.
What is "Computer Administrative Debris"? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Why? Please give an example.
“Computer administrative debris”: The idea is that the content is the interface, the information is the interface - not computer administrative debris. Too often admin debris is just bad design, show-off features, and bloatware design.What are the six aspects of a "Trunk Test" according to Steve Krug?
1 What site is this? (Site ID)
2 What page am I on? (Page name)
3 What are the major sections of this site? (Sections)
4 What are my options at this level? (Local navigation)
5 Where am I in the scheme of things ("You are here" indicators)
6 How can I search?
