Writing New Media — Day 5
We had a nice, slow paced day in which we began with discussing interactivity (coming up with definitions; and, boy, there were many) and looking at sites. Later, Johndan came in and talked about usability, showing us some great, bad sites. Don’t those people who make you watch their Flash animation (before allowing you to get to the content) ever sit down and look for info? It’s callled role-play, folks; put yourselves in the user’s shoes.
We also began storyboarding our projects during the afternoon. I struggled with mine because there are several projects I’d like to work on, but I finally decided to work on my site for the course I’m teaching in the Fall (a new media course, of course).
