SOFTWARE AND SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: A fully functioning version of Microsoft Project 2 013/2016 is required for this course. Students must have access to this so ft w a re by the first day of the quarter and the program must be available until the last day of the q uarter. MS Pr o j ect runs on a W indows OS, on a B o ot -Camp p a Windows. You can download the software for free under the ITAM Department’s Microsoft Imagine account. Important Not e: In past quarters, some students have encountered problems accessing Imagine which has prevented those students from downloading MS Project 2016 in the first module of the course. Each student must put a backup plan into place if this problem is experienced. Two different solutions to the problem are available to each student: 1. Make use of the CWU computer labs that have Project 2016 . There are labs at the Main CWU Campus and the Satellite Campuses that run Project 2016 . Please use the labs to stay current in the class while the details of your Imagine account is being addressed. 2. Download the 30 - day trial version of Project 2016 from Microsoft to your home computer while the details of your Imagine account is being addressed. After you have gained access to Imagine , you should be able to use the software key to unlock your trial version or you can simply re - download the software follow ing the instructions on the Imagine website. Extensions will not be granted for assignments missed in the first module of the course because of difficulty with the Imagine account subscription.

Expert designers determine what problem needs to be solved—framing the design space, and not just designing an appropriate solution. In this study, undergraduate and graduate industrial design students at a large Midwestern university were engaged in a one-day workshop, focusing on designing products for natives of Sub-Saharan Africa to sell in their home nations. Participants worked in teams to generate a range of constraints and problem statements. Teams struggled to identify specific use contexts and users, even though these elements were present in provided research materials. They appeared to build distance between their own experiences and that of the users they were designing for, potentially bifurcating their sense of ethics and normative commitments that were actively being reified in problem statements and solutions.

Wearable Tech refers to electronic devices worn on the body. Almost all devices released to date are in the form of rubber fitness bands or smartwatches, both worn on the wrist. Whilst in its infancy, Wearable Tech has some innovative potential uses. Imagine being able to control any device in your home by the snap of a finger; unlock your door, car or computer just by touching it; be alerted if your stress level, heart rate or blood sugar level is abnormal or even allow your doctor to remotely administer medication if he sees your vitals drop. We’re on the cusp of a new wave of electronics which will re-define the way people use technology. But fundamentally, people need to want to wear these devices. Whilst Samsung and Apple will no doubt take care of the early adopters and technology advocates who care about functionality and convenience, the fashion conscious consumer has yet to be accounted for. This is the gap in the market that Kovert will exploit through being not only a wearable tech company but also a fashion brand.

Science Fiction can be source of inspiration when thinking and designing UX. From the icon gestural interface of Minority Report to the use of PADDs in Star Trek, writers and film makers have been lucky enough to come up with ideas that are both creative and realistic. This talk with cover a few examples as to how science fiction predicted current technology and behaviours, but also how to choose the right technology to draw inspiration from. The talk will also cover techniques to help get creative through the power of future thinking

We can no longer predict how people are accessing our websites now, let alone in a few years’ time when the technology people use to access the web will inevitably diverge even further and perhaps in ways we haven’t even considered yet. Rather than seeing this unpredictability and lack of control as a problem, we should embrace these ‘known unknowns’ and the inherent flexibility of the web. Put simply, responsive web design is about being more flexible and assuming less about our users, from how they’re accessing our websites and what technology they’re using to their environment. This talk will discuss the four tenets of good responsive design: content parity, performance, future friendliness and accessibility against a backdrop of Matt's experiences designing and building responsive websites over the past 3 years with plenty of useful tips and takeaways along the way.

What are the advantages and challenges inherent in working with children in the design process for creating games or apps? How do you stop them getting bored, and get useful information? This case study looks in detail at a project that tried to do just that, and provides some handy tips at the end. The case study builds on the speaker's dissertation, Designing applications for children, that was submitted as part of the Masters course in Human-Centred Systems at City University London in September 2012. For the dissertation, she worked with children aged 4-5 years old to design an iPad application to learn the names and sounds of the letters, and to read and spell simple words.
