Reflection
How easy or difficult was it to understand how other teams’ designs “worked” and to which experiences they would lead?
remember the design cycle…
How easy or difficult was it to understand the key design decisions embedded in other teams’ designs?
How easy or difficult was it to understand the motivation underlying other teams’ designs?
stakeholders, goals, uses…

Reflection
Were there key similarities between the other partial designs and yours?
Were there major differences between the other partial designs and yours?
Do you plan to adopt any (partial) solutions you have seen in the other partial designs?

What will you do differently next time in your own design?

In-Class Exercise
For one of the two other teams from which you received the partial designs, select the three partial designs that you think best fit together
1-2 paragraphs discussing the strengths of the resulting design
1-2 paragraphs discussing the weaknesses of the resulting design
In-class, 50 minutes

8. Design Studio I Continued
As a team, provide the final design for the educational traffic flow simulation program
make sure it is complete (not just the three partial designs)
take into account the feedback you have received from other groups
Recall the two objectives:
You must design the interaction that the students will have with the system. You should design the basic appearance of the program, as well as the means by which the user creates a map, sets traffic timing schemes, and views traffic simulations.
You must design the basic structure of the code that will be used to implement this system. You should focus on the important design decisions that form the foundation of the implementation, and work those out to the depth you believe is needed.
The idea that we filter them here.

9. Design Studio I Continued
Deliverable 1: document containing your design
include a 1-2 page executive summary that highlights key features, key decisions, and key consequences of those decisions
bring one printed copy
Deliverable 2: 15 minute presentation, providing highlights of your design and its key features, decisions, and consequences
some groups will present Tuesday, other groups Thursday
PowerPoint slides must be sent to Nick and I before class on Tuesday, and should not be altered for Thursday
we expect other people to present than those who presented before
Due Tuesday at the beginning of class
The idea that we filter them here.
