Consider the following task: invitees to a meeting need to be able to quickly send along a message indicating that they are running late for a meeting. Digital calendars need to provide mechanisms to support this task. Analyze this task from each of three models of the user: the user as a processor, the user as a predictor, and the user as a participant. For each model, first propose what the goal of the design should be given that particular way of thinking about the user. Then, propose how you might measure whether that goal was fulfilled. Then, briefly discuss one place where two different models might suggest different design decisions, and how you might choose which model to go with. Note that there is no one single right answer to this question. There are many compatible goals and measurements you might propose. Our objective with this question is to evaluate the goals and measurements you propose are truly emblematic of the model to which you attach them.
