  1. Project Proposal (due Feb 12)
    • Project Description
      Define and Describe your project
    • Project Plan / Schedule
      Provide a clean schedule for your project highlighting the milestones. You can even use Office Project or simple calendar scheduling.
      I would like to see the assignments/delegation of the roles in your schedule.
      Also I would like you choose a Project Manager (or you can call Team Leader, Team Manager, or whatever) for your Group. S/he will be responsible of coordinating the group and the project and s/he will be my primary contact for your teams.
    • Project Goals
      Define what you want to achieve with the project, how far you want to go, how much do you want to provide.
    • Deliverables
      Define your deliverables. Will you provide a source code, programming, web interface, database, functionality, ... How do you plan to introduce your interface design; by defining it, by drawing on paper, by making mock-up interface designs, by making actual functional interface, ... Do you think of using surveys, usability tests, expert reviews, ... Your presentation file, etc...
  2. Project Phase #1 (due Mar 12)
    Evaluate the exiting interface design and identify the points
    • Project Plan
      Review your project schedule provided with your Proposal and explain your project management strategy as explained on class on Mar 1st
    • Evaluation
      Expert Review / Usability Testing / Survey Design and/or Implementation / Evaluations plan to manage the design process. Expert Review is required, the other methods are optional.
  3. Project Phase #2 (due Mar 23)
    • Requirements Specifications
      Define your requirements for the project
      Define the user profile (WHO your users are), Define Functional (HOW it will function), Environment and Context (WHERE and WHEN it will be used), and Task Requirements (WHAT will be done)
      And what do you need to meet these demands.
    Include Revisions of Phase #1
  4. Project Final Phase (due Apr 11)
    • Design and Development
      Design the Alternative to existing system
      According to what you want to achieve, design your interface. Also define the way you design the new interface from HCI perspective.
      If you agree to use the existing system as it is, you should define how it is designed for what purposes.
    • Test and Evaluation of the new system
      How do you test or evaluate the existing system
      Comprasion with the old version
      If you like as-it-is system, you need to show why
  5. Include Revisions of Phase #1 and #2
    You have to submit your presentation files by this date
  6. Project Presentation (on below schedule)
    I'm looking for presentations of 30mins for 4-members, 25mins for 3-member, and 20min for 2-member teams. And allow Q&A sessions at the end.
    • Project Introduction
