One more time. This time with feeling. ACD does not—I repeat, not—mean ignoring users. It means focusing on their activities instead of their goals. It means ignoring what Jenny wants to be when she gets out of college and focusing instead on how to create an app that helps her (and everyone else) complete the activities she needs to complete to get out of college. Many times, a designer can become well-versed in an activity without doing outside research. Many other times, the designer cannot do this. In both situations, the focus is on the activity, not the user alone. And with that, time for me to get back to work! -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
