The design and usability testing of DACADE: a tool supporting systematic data collection and analysis for design students

Norman claims that designers are bereft of statistical knowledge to perform effectively [10], stating that designers must understand technology, business and psychology to support design decisions. For designers to acquire the necessary statistical skills, design curricula should incorporate statist...
