MEETING: LAST CHANCE SALOON

June 3, 2010 at 17:57 · Filed under event

This is your last opportunity to get any missing kit. By 11am you need to have got your allocated computer, plugged in all the electronics and projectors, and run your software to test everything is OK. If we don’t know of your needs by 11am there’s very little we can do about them.

We’re also hoping to finalise the rota for monitoring the show and the running order for Monday, so do be there!

‘Science Hackday Day’ in London

‘Science Hack Day’ – is being arranged in London, and among others, BERG is sponsoring the event. Should be interesting, more information is found here!

FINAL PRESENTATION / HAND-IN REQUIREMENTS /RUNNING ORDER

May 18, 2010 at 13:44 · Filed under event

This will take place in Group Room 4/5 as this day is also the soft launch for AHO Works. The team from Teknisk Museum will also be there, together with the External Examiner. The details of timing and order will be given closer to the event, but this will take most of the day. It is MANDATORY that EVERYONE attends ALL DAY.


Minimum hand-in requirements, to be uploaded into Moodle by 0900 on Tuesday 8th June 2010, are:
- 3 x high quality JPEG images that express the essence and layout of the project
- 100 words accurate description
- approx 30 second video showing the project interactions (optional but highly recommended, no text or titles within the video)
- upload all source code
- evaluative report


Note that your final assessment will primarily be based upon the project itself and the presentation of it, and your project blog will also form part of the overall assessment – so this too must be up-to-date, easily accessible, and show the process you have been through.

From the project briefing document:


The deliverables are defined in the course description:
‐ 80% Design projects, presentations, minor deliverables, workshops and appropriate
presentation material for the end of term AHO-works exhibition.
‐ 20% Evaluative report


Project development will be assessed throughout the course, using these assessment criteria:
‐ Participation in discussions, group work, blogging and workshops
‐ The quality of the design process (including research, conceptual development, prototyping,
evaluation, documentation)
‐ Your ability to create compelling, understandable, engaging, relevant and FUN tangible
interactions.


We expect you to produce a working prototype of your final project idea that can be evaluated and
tested.


Consider how your project fits within the pantheon of existing applications in the field – does it build
on what is there, what is new about it? You will need to demonstrate an understanding of existing
applications, their strengths and weaknesses, and crucially to understand the implications of your
own project.


How effective is your design? Does it cater for the target audience? (does it aim for the full audience,
or a subset)? Is the application user-friendly and easy to understand? Does it add to the overall
experience and understanding a visitor will have of the space/exhibition?


Evaluative report
The design process and context, and a self-evaluation of the final outcomes, will be the main
components of your evaluative report. It is highly recommended that you use the weblog you keep
throughout the course, and boil this down to a coherent narrative that explains your process,
together with relevant references to existing projects and research in the field. You should also
evaluate the success of your project, based on your own feelings (about the process and final
outcome) and the results of user testing and peer observation.
