"Ideas, goals, and preconceptions":
An individual preparation for identifying participants'
agendas and their common ground. From this we will build a class semantic
map and thesaurus.
"Geowares":
A solo project with an emphasis on invention. Content design
for location-awareness.
"Assimilation":
A pair project with an emphasis on social adapatation. Contrasting
scenarios of usage based on criteria of appropriateness.
Final Project:
A full-scale creative project, from storyboards to mockups,
individually or in groups. About the value of design for a ubiquitous computing
application involving environmental knowledge. The specifics and tone of
this will emerge through the semester, and criteria for selecting a topic
and evaluating results will be established at the
start of the project.
