Information Architecture and Usability Curricula Revised and Enhanced in Kent State's Master's Degree in IAKM

In an effort to advance the evolution of the innovative Master's
program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM)
at Kent State University, new and updated courses and reduced credit
hours have enhanced this progressive degree.

In consultation with the Advisory Boards, which consists of leading
pioneers and practitioners in IAKM-related fields, the degree was
reorganized to streamline the program core and focus coursework in
each of the concentrations: information architecture, information use
(usability), and knowledge management.

Interaction design "experiment": 15tags

Hi there,
I really hope not being bothering someone with my announcements of the
15tags site over here. Some time ago, I asked in this list for people
to participate in the Alpha release of an application I was
developing. The application was a social networking one, I mention
Myspace.com somewhere just to make a comparison.

Now I moved to a new experiment with that application. I will jot down
every thing going on in the developing phase.

auto completion menus

Hello every body
I am working on a completion menu (you type the beginning of the word, the
system proposes you a list of items, like the outlook contacts)
Does anyone have or know usability guidelines for completion menu? The only
thing I found on the Web was:

Thanks

Can anyone recall this case study?

I remember hearing a case study of Philips (as far as I can recall!) many years back in a conference. The study was about how people say a particular thing when asked for opinion but can do entirely different things. In this case, it was about color preferences of a portable music system. The potential users said that they prefer red but actually picked up a black one.

Does anyone recall this story or was it someone's figment of imagination?

Let's prophetize interaction design. Where to start?

Hi All,

Let's prophetize interaction design. Where to start?
Which are non typical companies in your country (please specify) that would benefit from prophetizing interaction design in their organisation, given the restraint that they typically don't have interaction designers in their organisation?

In Holland a lot of webrelated companies and media companies know what interaction designers are and are aware of which educational institutions provide new talent.
