Now does that sound? right word I was that see if I can figure out this magic sequence to get you to wake up.
-
See whether I can get screened to stay down see if this works okay
-
so this should work now so that's okay progress and I hope I can can win back your favor for my delay in getting the syllabus printed for you. So just to go over quickly, we're meeting here in education room 388. Monday, Wednesday, Friday 930 to 1020. Our last day of meeting is December 5. So there's a few days we missed between August 31 and December 5, but not too many. Here's my email address here's my office location. So anyone clear Everyone clear but where I can be found on campus?
-
I mean people have been up to the computer science department. It's see this month one person this month anyone else to Okay. Three. Wow. Okay. So this should it's got a blue. It's highlighted in blue. So it makes you think it's a link but I'm not sure whether it's gonna work
-
I made a hyperlink. This is really a URL so I don't know why it's not
-
I'll have to check but these are links. So this is the your courses page. And this is my personal page. We'll go through that. And so their final design Wednesday, December 14. Don't take my word for it. Especially about the location
-
so in terms of promises so this is a this is the quote that I read in class the other day
-
so the promises you will come to know they're doing the design is hard yet worthwhile. You need to start somewhere to jump in and get your hands dirty. To begin with a judgment and spiritual boundary reflection you have glimpse what is exciting empowering and important about interaction design. You'll gain sensitivity to the impact of interaction design on real people. You will see the necessity of a multidisciplinary perspective you will think critically creatively and computationally for designs and design problems using the foundational concepts of this discipline
-
and a sound okay so the textbook This is a textbook and I'll show you how this is the fifth edition 2018 If you're how many people are looking at this one or an earlier edition Wow 001 Okay nobody else object.
-
I don't know what version. Okay, well okay. Yeah. I think it's, it's a good book. It's got lots of stuff in there. But we'll also use things that are online so I've got a few links. And Nielsen Norman Group stuff is also very good online.
-
But it's just a normal group down here so participating writing, designing so talked about formative and then some devaluation on the first day
-
remember that okay. So the things you were doing during the semester, our formative evaluations and the final exam is a summative evaluation to see whether we've to assess your learning over the semester. So we must pass the final to pass the class. So this is the list of weights that are in your courses. So we so from the last offering, we we agreed to add a midterm exam. So midterm gets 8% of Mark.
-
Here's another blue line, which I made into a hyperlink in word and it doesn't seem to be working. But this is the academic schedule.
-
Which is really not a usable document. In fact, let's go look at it right now. Acrobat? Think this video I think it's it's pretty cool as well, but I find it a little off putting the word speeds up when it's doing the flyover
-
and all the people hiding in the bushes smoking on campus.
-
There is no smoking on campus.
-
The trees or the cigarette
-
Yeah. Okay. Where's it coming up okay, here's a flyover. Yeah, just speed up to get to the sign. $1 million
-
on this increase in tuition it gets half a second.
-
Well, it's not it's not just the sign. It's the whole corner and they rebuilt the sidewalk to go from the corner in towards the classroom to the college West. And it still fills up with water. They didn't address that. Issue
-
anyway grass here Okay, so this is the right one, I believe 2223 Okay, so what are the important dates this semester? Do you need me to zoom in on that? Better now
-
first of August 6
-
exam here is ninth the 22nd of December and then there are dates for tuition and fee payment which are repeated and then the class add drop dates, tuition and fee refund dates
-
and other important dates and deadlines. So the fact that 95% of this bottom part of the table is empty.
-
Maybe indicates space could be better used. Any thoughts about that? Or so I know your name. So that's why I called it a go ahead.
-
Maybe they should have a different file for summer, because you have like 10 periods just for summer. And so it's hard to see fall and winter even though they might be more important. So if they just have two different files
-
Yeah, that's a possibility to divide up so it's so it's not when you go to look at this
-
I'm back in Acrobat. That's why the fact that they're in PDF instead of HTML. Also makes it a little more difficult. Anyway, perfectly knows what this is. This design doesn't quite fit on one page. So the PDF has a second separate line for Good Friday which
-
maybe we can update the wiki for good and bad design.
-
Yeah, sure. You can do that certainly. If we recorded every incident, incidents of bad design, I think we'd have a very full wiki a never ending one okay. So I want to point out okay, so they're in the links. This is also a link to the PDF
-
for the syllabus and their your courses page. And then the assignments here I have an extra column I guess because there's a space in the file that's why
-
Okay, so there are some individual assignments so everyone will do this empathize with teachers. So I'm going to give you access to
-
your courses teacher and ask you to do something and then think about reflect on your completion of the activity in your courses. So one thing that I realized just now since we've been talking about student numbers so I partway through the list of getting people enrolled, enrolled in that experiment with your courses class as instructors, so I'll have that
-
finish after class Okay, not quite halfway through but I've got a few people
-
and they're all listed as teachers. So the issue is that student numbers appear. here so I'm going to do a bit of investigating to see whether I can
-
can hide them or not. So is that a concern for people? One nod and the other feelings about concern. Yes. Well, not Yeah. So not teaching the course it's it's teaching this experiment with your horses so
-
on then it gives you some information about everyone's IP that's now I could make I could make the problem less serious. Eight times. Take the in class groups and give each in class group an essence of your courses that might be better to
-
control our agent teacher versus the entire classroom teacher.
-
So I could do that.
-
We also haven't done it.
-
Okay. Thanks so one one question can you reply to announcements, they will try to reply to announcements.
-
Okay. So I'll put that in I'll put something in the class discussion to get to solicit some more ideas. We'll try and
-
I'll talk with your course. Support. today and see what options there are.
-
I thought I thought you'd all enjoy that. Picture Okay, so I have media. I'm not sure why the outline didn't show up. I managed to convert the text into something a little more readable and you can use this information to add to the wiki and I'll try and go through it as well and add a few things.
-
It's my plan so there's that and then responses so I think the transcript kind of cut out a little bit earlier seems a little short. But anyway. I'll post what I get from my app and have that further discussions. So the assignments are all here on the page for the semesters offering so let's go to the budget presentation or what kind of formal project
-
so the idea with the project is to choose a website. So for
-
a 28 students are doing research that could involve user interface component. You can talk to me about doing a project related to your research.
-
So if you're designing some software was an interface. You can take that as your project and go through steps with that.
-
Otherwise, people who don't fall into that category will make groups and we'll look at last year to pick a website and see where there's some issues some unmet needs and then go through a process of designing and testing a couple alternative interfaces and then making a video to present to capture your results from the process. So testing will be paper and pencil test. We'll talk about this as it comes up you'll have a sketch of an interface and the different screens and you'll test it with other people in class so you'll get together so you can test so you have two interface designs. Created and then you'll test running. Each member of a group will run a test of each of both interfaces with somebody else in class and we'll get a structure to support that. Yes,
-
most of the assignments mentioned, but it seems like they were groups of four so they separate them the groups are formed on the first day of class.
-
Yeah. So if you have a group of four. Let's see. See how well we do with groups of four. If you have a group of four in mind, you can email me and I'll set that up for the project
-
so the project group is distinct from the class discussion groups before
-
Yes. So the in class groups are just in class. So and if you don't have preferences for people with whom you'd like to work, then I'll take the information I do get, set those up. And then I'll fill in
-
so if you give me three people you might get a fourth person in your group CME okay. I know I like I published this this morning, but it's not here. Okay. So let me go back one of the things I was going to mention was scheduling for the midterm.
-
So we have 36 meetings. So midway through the semester, would be this week approximately. So I'll make a choice activity on your courses and verb on it so for now, would you like me to add other choices
-
can we add the 14
-
Okay, our team's gonna get zero maybe one vote. Vote the following week. 20 for 24th. No one wants to really that's good to know. questions which we'll discuss and above which also solicit your input and design suggestions.
-
Be an option like the 31st.
-
That's too far. Yeah, it's a little less midterm ish. Okay, so I'll go with these four choices and I'll create it right after class. Okay. So attendance No, I didn't do that okay, now I will attempt to do that messes up the screen for you. Right Thank you so, is that large enough so, thanks for the for the tip I would still prefer it to be a little this is not a thing they want to do every day So, it'd be nice if Moodle or you our courses
-
gave me some options right? Right off the bat. So anyway the QR code appears in the source I'll show you. Yeah, so here's the QR code What's up
-
so it's base 64. encoded. So it's a binary file. encoded using printable characters ASCII or UTF eight. I suppose maybe I can replace some different styling with that class anyway. So in chapter one they talk about draw bishops marble answering machine. Anyone come across? Remember coming across that story
-
give you the message when you put a marble in.
-
Yeah, no well. It will pop out a marble when it records a message and then you can put the marble into a player to hear the message.
-
I found that the textbook didn't discuss underlying issues like the number of marbles. Marbles. Can you figure out heavier the Marvel Marvel stuff
-
well, not only as a text isn't discussed it there's there's very little written about it. So this is a quick video and it's very hard to find the original source material for the textbook mentions anyway Simon in imagens house they are both out.
-
What I thought was when when he got to come to the football fan and if you don't bring it up GPM Hello. Your flight is pH 6213 at 1230 Monday 15. Your job number is 46 215 and the pic of a trans employee for Canada mentioned custom mouth particularly 5pm Simon is George can you give us a ring? My tone number is talk to you later. See you Bye.
-
Well it's 1020 was good timing Okay, so we'll we'll take some time to discuss things on on Monday and I just wanted to point out so as we talked about on Wednesday, in class your bay if you want to take care of the wiki anyway, thanks for today. Have a great weekend. See you Monday going on y'all this addition to traditional market access today we don't don't the other students have to respond to the meetings now. Yeah, I'm just gonna fix
