First Assignment
Yes, already, but its short and hopefully interesting. If you have an idea that you would like to pursue in the course, be prepared to make a short “pitch” to recruit other students in class on either January 19th. This should be about 2-3 minutes, laying out as best you can 1) who your user is, 2) what their pressing need is, 3) why this is an opportunity and 4) any partners or users you already have lined up. Preferably you can do this without Powerpoint, but if you need it, it will be there.
Welcome to i213!
Welcome to i213, the UC Berkeley School of Information’s graduate-level course in User Interface Design and Development. Please make sure to follow this RSS feed for announcements and assignments; and this one if you want to keep up with comments. There is also a tentative schedule with readings posted. To access protected readings, you will need to request an I-School account here. There is also a wait list for the course this year, so make sure to attend all classes to ensure your spot. Your participation in the class will partially depend on being part of a project team by the end of the second week. See you next week!
