10. Bibliographic Software • From niles.com • EndNote • ReferenceManager • ProCite

11. Related Work Assignment • You will create an annotated bibliography of 10 related work sources. Your annotated bibliography should contain for each entry: • Full bibliographic listing of the related work • Pointer to the source file of the related work • Abstract of the related work • Brief paragraph and/or bullet points articulating what is relevant to your project about the related work • In addition, select 2 of these items for the class to read and discuss • For each selection, write a brief paragraph and/or bullet points articulating why you think the class should read it and what about the related work will be relevant to other projects in the course.

14. MMAM Dan Perkel Marc Davis (assistant) Dan Perkel’s Project Emelie Cheng Simon King Emelie Cheng’s Project Shane Ahern Hong Qu Redesign Teams

15. Redesign Guidelines • Do meet the project goals • Or successfully renegotiate them with the original project team • Do not reproduce or modify the original design solution • Find a new way to meet the project goals • Do honor the time and resource constraints of the course and the original project team • Generate many solutions before deciding on one

16. For Today • Revised Project Description • List your project goals as a set of bullet points (no more than three) • Create a new brief 1 paragraph project description of your revised project idea • Point out what you have changed in your project as a set of additional bullet points • Make sure the redesign team understands and agrees with your new goals

17. For Brainstorming Session • Freely and quickly generate ideas without criticism or judgment • Group and/or sort your ideas • Eliminate candidates by analyzing how they relate to the project redesign guidelines (or not) • Feel free to iterate this process a few times • Select winning candidate • Document all ideas generated and criteria for decision-making

18. For In-Class Design Work Session • Make sure you are clear on your work process • Identify roles and milestones • Bring materials to class you will need for your work • Paper • Pen • Dry Erase Markers • Laptops • Digital Camera • Video Camera

19. For In-Class Design Work Session • Using whatever media you find most helpful and suited to the task, describe and visualize your design solution • There are a variety of documents you could create • A system architecture diagram • A user interaction flowchart • A user interaction storyboard • Sample screenshots • Written personas and use scenarios • You should focus on realizing one of your brainstormed ideas

20. For In-Class Presentations Session • The project goals • What are your project’s goals? • Is this different in any way from the original team’s proposed project goals? • If so, explain the differences and how you resolved them with the original team • Your brainstormed ideas • Please briefly describe your brainstormed ideas • How did you assess, group, and filter them to arrive at your final alternate design solution?

21. For In-Class Presentations Session • Your alternate design solution • What does it do? • How will it work? • Make sure to show some design visualizations (e.g., diagrams, storyboards, etc.) • What are its strengths and weaknesses? • How does your design differ from the original solution? • Implications for the original project design • Given you new solution, what do you recommend the original team do about their original project design solution and why?

22. For Today • Revised Project Description • List your project goals as a set of bullet points (no more than three) • Create a new brief 1 paragraph project description of your revised project idea • Point out what you have changed in your project as a set of additional bullet points • Make sure the redesign team understands and agrees with your new goals
