Presentations Reflections

 Reflections:

Condensing and adapting to the situation. Catch social que's. Be ready to change your presentation to how people are responding and what they seem interested in. Be concise. Answer the questions directly addressing one at a time. Repeat it back. Prioritize certain parts of the presentation that will help us understand your product more. If all are equally important than shorten all of them equally so you can get through all the info. Just do surface level explanation and if people have questions you can more in-depth then.


bike maintenance- don't assume people have had this experience or pain point if it is a niche group (Bikers that need maintenance tools)


Be mindful of time restraints and respect them. In corporate settings time is money and your boss will not take kindly for not respecting the set time given.     


"mine umbrella flipped today" - Relatable humor that also adds to point you're trying to make (Wind is common in this city)


Teacher Comments:

Think of the surrounding space and what disturbances will be caused. How will this effect people and will it effect peoples willingness to use it.

--> Stadium: Too much going on. Focus on the thing that people would most enjoy or are most in need for. 

Think about the placement of your objects  and how it obscures the view and may cause safety issues.

Even if youre review notes dont look at your phone or other devices. It makes the viewers lose focus because it appears you as well are not focused. Engage with listenser with eye contact or questions.

Slow Computing, Digital Civics and Portfolio Project

 Slow Computing & Digital Civics Slow Computing: - Cultural shift towards slowing down life's pace - Computing is deeply imbedded in our lives - Slow computing VS Calm technology     - calm tech promotes moments of reflection and mental rest. The info is presented passively and it's usually in our poriferas.  - Some Design: meditative bodily introspection -Fast Technology: well-defined task, efficient, easy to use Reflection: Most companies are focus on quick profits, fast technology. Slow technology cares more about the users mental wellbeing. As UX designers we need to design for slowness, solitude and mental rest. How do we change the functionalities and design to help the users not get overwhelmed? We could avoid numbers based goals and information. We should reward users for taking their time and  "Living Technology Lives", people are always on their phones and rely on it heavily.

Reflecting on the Hierarchical Task Analysis

Hierarchical Task Analysis   Pros and Cons      My team and I chose to use Mural to show the HTA of using the self-service machine in the library. The first problem was knowing where the task started. Should we include "Get a book from the library" or is that too obvious. But what if they expected to check to see if the book is available and checking it out was something done before hand? But most libraries would have you get the book prior so we went with finding a machine for the first step. We tried keeping all the instructions concise to try and prevent them from feeling overwhelmed. We used lines to help direct the viewers attention to the corresponding steps and subcategories. The subcategories that we put below were the options they would see on the screen. We didn't include any plans for if something went awry to avoid confusion.  Our team also made a HTA for how to make tea. It seemed simple enough but once I started talking with my team I realized we all have d
