Clarification: Help for next year's student
Some students were confused about the last announcement.
To clarify with an example: if you discovered that you'd
neglected consistency in your initial design, and this caused
trouble for your subjects during user testing, then go to the
readings' table of contents (
here),
find relevant part of the course reading (
consistency) and use nb to place your story where next years
students will see it and realize they should pay attention to
consistency.

Help for next year's students
I've been reading through the vignettes posted during
yesterday's in-class reflection activity; many of them are very
interesting. If you've got 10 minutes to spare, could you
help out next year's students by sharing them?
They'll really benefit from the "if I only knew then what
I know now" perspective. Find the relevant part of the
course readings and use nb to post your insight as a comment there;
I'll get them incorporated so future students can read them
(you may also enjoy reading/commenting on each others').
Sign your note if you like; I'll make unsigned notes
anonymous. Feel free to post more than one!
thanks
David

Watch CHI Madness!
It's been a pleasure teaching you this great material this
semester. To be inspired by a lot of the exciting work going on in
Human Computer Interaction right now, take a look at
this set of 30 second Madness videos I've cherry-picked
from
CHI, the main HCI
conference. If that's not enough, you can find all 300+
at
this
youtube account and
this one
(you may also want to attend
next
year in Korea).

Clarifications on Madness
Apologies for causing a panic. The madness videos are
optional; they are meant to be a fun way to wrap up the class and
show your work, not a burden. Note also that google presenter
slide deck with a voiceover is fine; you don't need to speak
live if you don't want to. On the other hand, if
you're feeling creative you should feel free to be more
ambitious, as for example t
his madness
video from a user interface conference a few years ago.

Prepare for Madness!
Wednesday's lecture will be primarily devoted to the video
madness. You need to prepare a 30 second (no more!) video
presentation about about your project. You'll be standing
at the front of the lecture hall while it plays; you can give us a
live commentary, or include audio in your video. We'll
hold votes for a people's choice award, so put some time into
making your video! Once you've created the video, please
upload it and put a link to it on
this page of the course wiki.
