Design Experience

BRIEF

Use headings / subtitles

Knowledge & understanding of User Centred Design Process,Applying UCD in arealistic design brief -> evaluating a prototype

Justify the use of UCD process & critically evaluate the contributions it made to the product

Reflective practice in HCI.

a) An argument for how the taught modules and their coursework have shaped the student’s thoughtprocess during the practical part of this module

Design interactive systems drawing on appropriate HCI knowledge

Evaluate interactive systems drawing on appropriate HCI knowledge

Identify the need for HCI knowledge in existing systems of work practices (e.g. broad areas, medical, education, tourist)

Use HCI information effectively to support work practices

b) A critical reflection on their ability to function as a designer in the future

Reflect on their own learning of, and growth in, skills for HCI

Specify areas where they feel they need to develop their HCI skills, knowledge or experience

BRIEF broken down

Based on what I've learnt, why have I designed it that way?

Based on what I've learnt, why did i evaluate it this way, and how did it help? what did it give us? what didn't it give us?

How would doing it a year ago be different to how I approached this time.Reflect on the differences and on how the taught modules have shaped/changed your way of thinking

IN OTHER WORDS: you provide a rationale for your approach based on what the modules taught you, where 'what the modules taught you' is not just restricted to particular techniques, but to ways of thinking about a problem.

Why should HCI/UCD be used in the design process? What does it give us that other perspectives doesn't?

How is this HCI info/results/theories/practices used effectively?

a)

Use of Persona - relate to Cooper

Use of Interviews. Semi structured, relied on stories etc

Requirements

Use of sketching to come up with ideas. Communicate ideas. Realise problems

Screen Size

ABC/QUERTY discussion. Use of academic papers

More info under 'doc spec' - moodle

Use Centred design can only reccommend so much. there are still technology constraints such as battery life

Good paper recommended by Mara - Moodle, Locals/independent recommendations

Iteration through Design

3 Main functions

Route finder

Local Snippets

Heat Map

b)

Inability to create low-fidelity prototypes

Graphic design conversation

Interesting working with different specialists e.g. ergonomics
