Verified Competencies Demonstrated by Maryna Mottet

By completing this curriculum to the standards of the IxDF Educational Codex, Maryna Mottet has demonstrated mastery of how to:

  • Apply Norman's usability principles of visibility, findability, feedback, constraints, and mapping as a repeatable evaluation method for any screen-based interface.

  • Identify perceptible, hidden, and false affordances using Gaver's framework to evaluate where perception breaks down and why.

  • Diagnose interaction failures at the level of Hartson's four affordance types (cognitive, physical, sensory, and functional) and identify precisely which type broke down and at which moment.

  • Evaluate conceptual models by identifying mismatches between the designer's model, the system image, and the user's mental model that cause errors and frustration.

  • Design cognitive affordances (labels, instructions, icons, and symbols) that tell users what they can do, where they can do it, and what will happen when they do.

  • Use physical, cultural, and semantic constraints to direct user behavior and reduce errors in graphical user interfaces.

  • Distinguish between Norman's real and perceived affordances to diagnose exactly why users misread or miss interactive elements in graphical user interfaces.

  • Structure complex multi-step interactions using Gaver's sequential and nested affordance principles to reduce cognitive load and guide users through tasks with speed and accuracy.

  • Apply Gibson's ecological approach to identify action possibilities in screen-based interfaces and design interactions grounded in how users naturally perceive and act on their environment.

  • Use Norman's four principles for screen design (convention, words, metaphors, and conceptual models) to create interfaces users understand without instruction.

  • Evaluate the physical qualities of interface elements using Hartson's physical affordance framework and Fitts's Law to assess ease of interaction and optimize element size, shape, and location.

  • Apply Hartson's sensory affordance principles to ensure users can perceive interactive elements through text legibility, visual contrast, and auditory feedback.

  • Design interfaces where users form accurate conceptual models before they interact, using Rogers, Sharp, and Preece's four components (metaphors, concepts, relationships, and mappings).
