D2L Discussion Topics (week 8)

  • Prototyping exercise (exam lookup)
    • Typical time (minutes): 10 to 40 minutes! tools seem to take longer; times don't include testing/walkthroughs
    • Methods: hand drawing, Figma, Sketchwow, Adobe XD
    • Showing flow was easier with hand-drawings, one comment said that Figma supported flows
  • Notable properties on prototypes
    • Helps evaluate design
    • Throw-away prototypes may not be indicative of implementation feasibility
    • Software performance is difficulty to assess
