Week 8 Commentary

Monday 5/21

We met as a group and discussed the models we each had developed. I was able to create a sequence model for the fields interviews and contextual interview. I manage to develop a flow model from all the data I collected individually, and I mad a cutural model dealing with the differences in years at UCSD and visitors. We were all able to share our individual models and will be able to combined them next time we meet.

Tuesday 5/22

As a group we decided to organize all of our individual data into Excell documents. We thought this would be easier for a small group and aide in the organization of our affinity diagram. I did this for all of my interviews so I could easily see the overlap in problems.

Wednesday 5/23

I went back to Muir to take pictures of the buildings in the Stuart Commons. I took many pictures from different angles and decided that the ones the included the building names in the pictures would probably be the best to use for our prototype. However, I ran across a problem when I realized I misplaced my import cable and could not download my pictures onto my computer. I will have to ge a new one from the bookstore.

Thursday 5/24

I put all my data for the Stuart Commons, minus the pictures, into a rough outline for each building. The idea is that for our paper prototype, this information would show up when you clicked on a building. My outline included a picture (well will include a picture), a brief description of the facilities in each building, the hours of operation, a general description of the location of the building, and amenities included (such as computers, bathrooms, or WiFi access).

For our next meeting we need to get our prototype together so we can test is a little (possibly two different prototypes), and start putting our group binder together so we have all our information in one place when it comes to writing the paper.
