Assignments
Design and Implementation of an Interface Prototype
This series of assignments involves designing a prototype of an interface for an information system and developing a description of that interface.
We will be thinking about the elements of the interface in theoretical terms, but will then work in 4-5 person teams to generate each of the components. The users, the tasks, and the design considerations will evolve out of our readings, our session discussions, and your team discussions.
The design process involves six components
