Re: [IxDA Discuss] Best role for UX in Agile/ Scrum - Customer vs. Implementer?
See the recent thread by Dave on this talk by Cooper: http://www.cooper.com/journal/2010/01/an_insurgency_of_quality.html Cooper specifically advocates that a "senior interaction designer" take on the role of product owner. And also the role of pig, not chicken--Cooper's summary of that metaphor is very different from Rich Rogan's above. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] How to introduce experience design in high schools?
Ask them to talk about the lunch room--how large numbers of students are able to get their trays filled in a short period of time, where the bottlenecks are, what does and doesn't seem logical about the current design. Since the the topic is "experience" design, you should stay away from technology until after you get a good list of principles on the board from a more physical experience like this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] too much feedback?
I wouldn't call either of these system messages (desktop items or newly installed programs) examples of "feedback." Feedback should be thought of as the system's response indicating that it has correctly (or not) received the user's intended action. These are examples of unnecessary and annoying notifications intended, I guess, for perpetual beginners. Why isn't there at least a simple "never see this message again" link embedded in them? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Alan Cooper's Goal-Oriented Design process - step-by-step
One thing I would add to this thread is the use of "story" in the Cooper method as a way of doing requirements definition. This is more fully developed in About Face 3 than in previous editions. When I teach this book, I find "story" (through context scenarios, key path scenarios, and validation scenarios) an effective way to define data elements and functional requirements, especially in relation to the personas that students have previously developed. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] History of Plus Symbol (+) in HCI
I am interested in the history of (+). I am tracking the "evolution" of this interaction idiom (and others) and the ways in which user mental models have to adapt to such changes. I think (+) first meant "expand" as opposed to (-) which meant "collapse." In iTunes it means "Add Playlist" and this has been copied (very crudely) in the Sony Reader eBook Library application. In the original iPhone/iPod Touch Safari interface it meant "Add Bookmark" but after the January 2008 upgrade it has been generalized to mean "Add Something." I am not a long-time Mac user so I wonder if (+) has always been part of the Apple lexicon, or if it is new. Also, has anyone on this list seen (or created) different implementations/meanings of (+) in other products? Charlie Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...
