Designing intelligent systems – User feedback

A new user feedback topic looks at the design considerations for collecting user feedback to train machine learning algorithms:

• Should I ask users for feedback or just learn from what they do?
• How can I make sure the feedback I get is specific enough to interpret and use?
• What kind of feedback should I ask for in different scenarios?
• Are users motivated to give feedback when they have the opportunity, or will I need to nudge them to get a response?

User feedback – relative input

All these factors influence the interaction pattern, the choice of control, and the placement of feedback elements on the UI.

At the end of the article, you’ll also find a useful set of starter questions for your user research.

Updated guidelines for UI elements

There have also been some smaller updates to the guidelines for existing UI elements, including the following new features:

Highlighting table items – Additional colors

You can now use an extended set of semantic colors to highlight table rows. This is supported for various tables and lists, such as the responsive table and list.
