Please create pages for your evaluations on your project TRAC Wiki, and follow the naming scheme used in my table so that the links will work. evaluation of Android apps Assignment 4 The description is available now; it includes links to the descriptions of the Android apps.

This is also the deadline for A2, the story boards assignment. Assignment 2 5 02/04/10 484 Slides I just saw that I fell behind with uploading the slides on my Web page. I've caught up on it, and I've also posted last year's version of the upcoming chapters. There will be some changes, but usually they are minor. I've also made the whole directory accessible, so you don't need to go through the schedule. 484 Slides directory There are symbolic links with meaningful names (e.g. 03C-User-Interfaces-Users.ppt) to the files with chapter numbers (e.g. Chapter5ID-FJK.ppt). When you download those symbolic links, you may get a copy of the file with that name, resulting in duplicates. 5 02/01/10 A3 Available The third assignment with the data collection activities is now available. Assignment 3 4 1/29/10 Project Conference Call Schedules The 484-W10 Yahoo! Coordination Wiki has information provided by our Yahoo! partners, and also contains a link with the conference call schedules. 4 01/26/10 Conference Call Organization I put together a table with teams assigned to time slots for our upcoming conference call. Let me know if you want me to change the order of the teams. 484-W10-Yahoo-Coordination Wiki 4 01/26/10 Evaluation Forms available The evaluation forms liked to in Assignment 1 are now available. For now, we're using mainly the "Team Presentation Feedback" form. I'm planning to bring paper copies, there's no need to print them out now. Assignment 1 4 01/25/10 A2 available I've just posted the second assignment. It is about the storyboards (or something similar) you need to develop for your project. You need to have them for the mid-quarter visit by the Yahoo! team, which probably will be Thu, Feb. 11. Assignment 2 If you haven't tried it out yet, the VUE concept mapping tool (see below) might be useful for this assignment. 3 1/18/10 Drawbacks of Conceptual Metaphors Lauren just forwarded me a link to a brief piece on the pitfalls of metaphors How Conceptual Metaphors are Stunting Web Innovation 2 01/14/10 Project Wikis The project Wikis have been created. 484 - Yahoo! Coordination Wiki Team Pages Overview 2 1/13/10 Added the VUE to Assignment 1 Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is another tool that might be of interest for UCD, especially for concept maps; see the example JuJu Beans story board created with VUE Assignment 1 "... the Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is a concept and content mapping application, developed to support teaching, learning and research and for anyone who needs to organize, contextualize, and access digital information." 2 1/13/10 Y! TRAC Wiki Getting Populated Lauren posted some material on the Yahoo TRAC Wiki contains links to the presentation material used during their visit, and brief descriptions of the roles for team members I know there's a potential for confusion between the three Wikis we're using (Blackboards UCD/HHC Wiki, the one mentioned here, and the individual project Wikis), but hopefully it won't get too bad. 2 01/11/10 Blackboard Projects and Assignments Table Created The UCD/HCI Wiki contains an overview table for the projects and assignments. Please put links to your team's documents in the respective cells of that table; further instructions are on the Wiki. 2 01/11/10 Blackboard Groups Created for "DocYou" and "Better Attachments" Teams I've created groups on Blackboard for the two teams. I'm not sure how well the groups features work on Blackboard, but it's hopefully worth a try ... 2 01/11/10 Yahoo Team Documents on Blackboard I've added the slides and the topic descriptions used by the Yahoo team during their visit on Jan. 6. You can find them under "Course Materials".
