Design Case Project

CS5724 Fall 1997
Jason Bryant, Craig Ganoe, and Rick Neil

Description

This project presents a design case analysis of the Learning in Networked Communities (LiNC) project's virtual school software. We perform a scenario-based analysis using the design prototypes (screen 1 and screen 2) and software developed by the LiNC team (plus some of our own ideas).

Methodology

We develop scenarios of use for the virtual school software. A claims analysis is performed using applicable HCI theories from CS5724. Scenarios, claims, and theories are kept on separate web pages and are hypertext linked. A constructive critique of the software is presented based upon this analysis.

Claims Analysis

Design Recommendations

Goals

Along with the analysis of the software, it is our goal to show reuse of claims by taking advantage of the ability to hypertext link to them from different scenarios.
