I tried to teach Jesse James Garret's Planes I had to Simplify Interaction Design User Research Information Architecture @cwodtke | cwodtke.com | eleganthack.com | boxesandarrows.com | Creative Commons Share Alike Interface Design

Make it Be Good Exercise 1. Students are asked to come with a great user experience and a bad user experience. 2. Students share why great are great. As students share, instructor pulls out heuristics (error prevention, error recovery, set expectations meet expectations) 3. Students then share bad user experiences. 4. Student redesign bad into good What it Accomplishes Discuss what is good? Teaches some heuristics in context Creates a sense of competency Creates confidence Enables passion OPENING THE CLASS @cwodtke | cwodtke.com | eleganthack.com | boxesandarrows.com | Creative Commons Share Alike
