Output Design and User Interface Design
This week we learnt that Information System captures inputs and produces outputs, and inputs and outputs occur where there are interfaces between the system and its environments.
When we design output following things should be keep in mind:-
- The purpose of output.
- The user of the output, his need, the way he use it.
- Information’s that are to be included in the system
- The output is mainly in the shown on the screen or the printed forms so the output is designed keeping in view the design of screen and printer.
Output can be of various types, it can be in the printed form, internet based, the out can be in the form of audio, audio-visual or visual form
When we design user interface our main is how the user will interact with the system
The User Interface is simply the parts of a computer and its software that the user see, hear, touch or talk to. It is the set of all the things that allow you and your computer to communicate with each other.
The user interface is the media between the user and the screen which is output source for the user.Human-computer interaction (HCI) describes the relationship between computers and people who use them to perform business-related tasks.
My experience with CQU’s information systems
Webfuse Information System of CQU:- Webfuse is an information system used to provide some of the online teaching and learning services and support systems at CQU by the Webfuse team. It provides services to both staff and students
Services provided by Webfuse are: Webfuse Login, Online Courses, Submit and View assignment, Resources, Help and contact details for both students and staff. Students can get information of courses, assignments, books, journals, and other tutorials here. It is very fast information system and student and staff can access this from even there home also.
Forms for Staff only and provides information to staff and student access these services.

As is clear from the diagram that user interface is the media between the user and the screen which is output source for the user.Human-computer interaction (HCI) describes the relationship between computers and people who use them to perform business-related tasks.
