Here is the content of this module in one handy blog post:

Super quick and easy Guide to Interaction Design Method:

  1. Observe the situation
  2. Record the situation: – Film, Storyboard, Flowchart, Txt narrative, Characterise
  3. Use the recording as a model
  4. Change the variables! Experiment!
  5. Observer results, search for design opportunities, write a design brief
  6. Execute the brief

In point 6, here are some further guidelines (found on web, ref needed)

6a. Talk to the users/customer

6b. Orientate the user

·         Where am I

·         How did I get here

·         Where can I go from here

6c. Simpler is better (or is that..less is more, more is not less, less is a bore)

6d. Build a dialogue (avoid conversation stoppers)

6e. Understand the workflow (or process)

6f. Understand the media/technology/materials

Thats it folks: – so now you dont need to attend any of the classes (joke).
