Education Interaction Design

Dear all,

a while ago I started a google map with universities offering interaction design courses in Germany. It would be great if I could ask you for suggestions of related courses in your country: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=111762822334715389586.00048782c862d08f261c6&z=

Many thanks!

Stefan

how to define "popular"

The B2B site I'm working on will have several crowdsourced modules such as popular articles, most saved documents, and recent popular searches. These can be filtered by role or region, in order to show "most popular for people like me."
I'm wondering if anyone has found or documented standards on how popular links are calculated, for example whether they are total number of clicks or unique visitors. This isn't a public site, so we're less concerned with advertiser conventions than what will product meaningful results for user.

Discount testing techniques and ressources

Hi there,

I am in search for discount methods for usability testing. This will be for teaching students how to make their interaction design ideas real. There are some good ideas out there how to gether requirements via discount methods - but I am looking for ways for testing prototypes etc. Does anybody know good ressources on this topic or has own experiences he/she would like to share?

cheers,
jan

Helvetica. Arial is an abomination.

I assume you're discussion Verdana in an on screen context. It was specifically designed for that, and not print.

InDesign CS5 for prototyping

I was wondering if anyone has extensive experience with specifically the new Interactive features of InDesign CS5. I am an avid Fireworks user, but I was recently informed that InDesign, in this latest release may be the application to beat. I have played around and found the new object states, animation  (presets only) e.t.c in the Interactive section interesting.
