ISSD Fall 2010 School of Information, UC Berkeley

• Assigned: November 10, 2010 (Wednesday)
• Due: December 1 2010 (Wednesday) [EXTENDED]
• Instructions: Post your plan and prototype (pictures, diagrams, storyboards, etc) on your project page.

Decide on a prototyping strategy (example: low fidelity to high fidelity, focus on which aspects of your service, what type of prototype [storyboard? video?]) leading up to the final presentation.  Plan for at least 2 iterations / versions of your prototype.  For each of the prototypes, write down the following:

1.  Short Description - what kind of prototype are you making?  What strategy does this prototype use?

2.  Purpose - what information or dimension of your project concept are you planning to test with this prototype (i.e. user interaction, business process, etc)?  Make sure to relate this to your findings about your project (i.e. we are unclear about this particular requirement based on our ethnography so we will use the prototype to test user interaction for this requirement specifically).

3.  Evaluation - how do you plan to test this prototype?  (i.e. walk-through of storyboard / business process with users, etc)

4.  Tools / Materials needed

As you will be creating 2 (or more) iterations that may possibly build upon the previous, or test a different dimension, write a justification statement about the order by which you will create and test your prototype.

It is highly encouraged but not required that you actually build a prototype.
