The three sessions will be organized as follows:
1. Mitchell Kapor - A Software Design Manifesto (Chapter 1 of the Terry Winograd book)
We will use this chapter as the focus of our discussion during our first SIG meeting. You should read this chapter along with the Profile at the end of the chapter before this session.
2. Donald Norman - Design as Practiced (Chapter 12 of the Terry Winograd book)
We will use this chapter as the focus of our discussion during our first SIG meeting. You should read this chapter along with the Profile at the end of the chapter before this session.
3. DESIGN
The final session will be a design activity to be determined during the previous session. We will each independently redesign something from our everyday world, like the Stop sign. We will then discuss the process we went through to do this design on WebCT's bulletin board. We will all do the same re-design and that activity will be decided by the group.
