Oleh:"Therefore they can be applied to heuristic evaluation of OLPC."
To what end? To measure success? What is the primary goal with the OLPC, a successful 'design', or to simply satisfy an enormous hunger for learning? In the same way the UN & RedCross/Cresant dont fly Gordon Ramsey in to famines when the cost/requirement necessitates something completely different, it is completely and utterly unnecessary to perform such an postmortem in this context. Good design costs money. The needs, goals, requirements and deliverables are arguably unlike anything we've come across before. To Roberts point in the preceding thread about his valid complaints on the sluggish interaction, one word... $150 (although it should have been $100) that is the ultimate measure of success of this project. Miss that 'heuristic' and the entire project fails. Dan:"So you feel that everything is contextual, that there are no universal principles of good design that are always true?" Let me turn that around, would you argue that Negroponte should have waited until technology advanced to the point where an iPhone grade machine could have been delivered to children in developing countries. Sorry to turn the conversation back on to the OLPC specifically, thats how I tend to rationalise and feel free to generalise back out to universal design principles - regards - pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
