Week 1B- Jan. 22

Today in class, we went over the syllabus and student info form, then filled out the student info form and submitted it through email. We also learned about what exactly experience and interactive design is by viewing a slideshow that discussed UX and UI, which is User experience and User Interaction and the growing fields in which make up the components of creating a website or application on phones. I found this part of class to be rather interesting, because I am amazed at the variety of people in different fields of design that contribute to creating a successful website. We learned the meaning of User-Centered Design, which is a user interface design process that gives extensive attention to the needs, wants, and limitations of the user.

For homework, we were told to purchase the book, Interdisciplinary Interaction Design by Pannafino, read the Part 1 (Chapters 1-3) of the Mobile First PDF book, and read the article, The Future of UI and the Dream of the 90s on medium.com. We were also instructed to create a blog for this class and sign up for Lynda.com, which is a site that features instructional videos that will be used for this class.
