Developing Usable Experiences

Fall Semester begins

September 14th, 2009 7:41 am —  11 views

Fall classes began last week. The next 15 weeks see me subjecting my mind to all kinds of calisthenics in the areas of graphic design and database application design. Like every class over the last 3 years, what I’m studying and what I’m actually doing as a web developer working for a software and services corporation, strongly overlap.

Admittedly though, some of the classes I’ve had were ahead of their time. I could still see the potential. Social networking, online communities, social systems and collections, collaborative systems…things happening in the public sector. Look at Facebook, Twitter, or any other web community whose interest comes from it’s users.

I’m running late for work, though I’ve been up for 3 hours. I needed to continue researching how color influences us. I volunteered to present this week with two classmates. We’ve scheduled a meeting for this evening to talk about what we’ve learned and to start organizing our presentation. We have 10-15 minutes to interest our classmates.

School is on again.

    Best wishes to you! It’s a good strategy to volunteer to do the first presentation..gets it over with and you get points from the prof for volunteering early! Gotta say I don’t miss those “group” presentations!
