Class 12--April 24

Tonight
- Behavioral prototyping reports (5 minutes each)
- Video scenario examples
- Sign up for individual meetings on Wednesday, 4/26

Make-up class
- Individual meetings with students, Wednesday, April 26 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
- Location: ITP, room TBD

Next week
Final presentations: Final design concept expressed as prototype or illustrated user scenario (cartoon scenario, storyboards, video scenario, conceptual mock-up, enactment.)

Final presentation

- Taking what you learned in the behavioral prototype, refine your concept and create one new user scenario that compellingly describes your concept, its use, features, and benefits.

- Use any of the presentation methods we have used or discussed: cartoon scenarios and storyboards, video scenarios, conceptual mock-ups, enactments. (If you choose an enactment, you must videotape it to submit as your final deliverable.)

- Remember what worked well in the last scenario presentation (hints: Don't make us read whole screens of text. Also, briefly set the context of your scenario's characters and their needs.)

- Each group will have 15 minutes. Students should plan to take 10 minutes max. for presenting their final concept, and leave 5 minutes for discussion. Please practice your presentation ahead of time to make sure it will fit withing the time allotted.
