Design (Oct 15 2003 05:33 GMT) - Emotional Factors in Design. This Newscan Daily (10/14/03) short report links to a longer BBC News report about the work of product designer Don Norman. I believe Norman's ideas about product design apply directly to the design of software, courseware, and learning objects. "Beauty, pleasure and simplicity of use are what people care about now when it comes to technology, according to the design guru." JH _____THE JOY OF GOOD DESIGN Design guru Don Norman says the way a device looks, feels and gives pleasure is just as important as how it works, and that good design can make up for some -- though not all -- shortcomings. |

- It was a busy day at the reference desk. I love the fact that people wait 2 days before their paper is due to get started on their library research. I used to do this all the time when I was in college, but usually I'd have all the research out of the way and then just stay up until 6am typing the paper. Believe me, you haven't lived until you are staring at your computer at midnight, confronted with the idea of churning out a 10 page paper on epistolary novel, drawing upon readings of Lady Susan and The Expedition of Humphry Clinker Everyone in this large undergraduate class get to learn about the concept of article databases being restricted to a certain number of simultaneous users. I think that 1/4th of my questions centered around this issue, and I informed people of their other options for research that did not have a login limit. |
