week 8. probes in HCI

1. student present "Calm Technology" exercise
2. discussion on "Underlying tensions in HCI" of "How HCI Interprets the Probes"

week 6. design probes

1. students report possible topics and interests of ACM SDC 
    what is the possible field to study?
   How can your IT abilities contribute to the field?

Exercises for Calm Technology design: (Deadline Oct. 31. 2016)
1. Take an exercise in http://www.calmtech.com/exercises/
2. Design with your own intuition
3. Design cultural probes to get deeper insights
4. discuss your design in 2. and probe results in 3.

week 4. observation methods

1.  ACM SDC issue discussion
2. student presentation on "broken IT probes"

3. Introducing Observation Methods

Questions:
1. What is Observation in Design Process?
2. What observation methods are there?
3. What is the method of Cultural Probes?
4. How to design Cultural Probes ?
5. How to collect/analyse/interpret data?


For ACM SDC, present your Design Probes (toolkit and data returned if possible) and your interpretation (or intention for possible return).
presentation date Oct. 24, 2016.
