Lab Task
Design an Online (web based) questionnaire (minimum 15 Questions) for
evaluating “Student portal” designed for 5 universities having different
disciplines (Engineering, Medicine, Management, Arts, Sciences).
1. Explain design’s first three phases according to your questionnaire.
2. Draw design rationale (gIBIS) for the issue “which format should be used in
questionnaire”

Objective :
To understand Importance of Design Rationale and Questionnaires

Theory:
Design process of online surveys/questionnaire:

1. Define research question (identify purpose of research)

2. Divide it into subcategories
3. Determine target audience
4. Test the questionnaire
5. Administer the questionnaire

Design Rationale :
In designing any computer system, many decisions are made as the product goes from a set of
vague customer requirements to a deliverable entity. Often it is difficult to recreate the
reasons, or rationale, behind various design decisions. Design rationale is the information that
explains why a computer system is the way it is, including its structural or architectural
description and its functional or behavioral description. In this sense, design rationale does not
fit squarely into the software life cycle. Rather, design rationale relates to an activity of both
reflection (doing design rationale) and documentation (creating a design rationale) that occurs
throughout the entire life cycle.
