Having just finished a section outlining some practical approaches to ‘sketching’interactive design, I decided to try it out by mapping out the interactive element of the ODBS portal we’ve designed so far. It turned out to be quite an interesting exercise, in the sense that I find it much more useful than a standard site map. The experiments shall continue.
Last November, Robin Good hosted an online session at the Corporate Learning Trends and Innovations Conference (This is actually a Ning Social Network), where instead of just him spewing out facts and opinions, he allowed his 150 member audience to tell HIM what they have found to be some of the best collaboration tools out there. The result is pretty interesting, and exposed me to a lot of online tools out there that I wasn’t aware of.
Reading Bill Buxton’s work on Sketching User Experience has been really inspiring. Here is a musician, turned researcher, turned information designer (in the broadest sense of that designation), tuning me back into the design dialogues in the context of user experience design. Makes him kind of dreamy.
