General Announcements
Activity
29.2. Activity¶
29.2.1. Introduction¶
Recall the terms “featuritis” and “creeping featurism” from a prior DDQ.
29.3. Breakout Groups¶
Important
RANDOMIZE: Please move around to different tables and form a random group for this activity.
Quickly introduce yourselves to each other, if you don’t already know each other.
Pick a group representative. This person will be responsible for posting your breakout group’s response on Piazza before breakout group work ends for this activity.
Help your group representative respond to the following in a followup discussion to Piazza @93.
List the names of your breakout group members.
Discuss featuritis, then find an example of an app that your group thinks suffers from featuritis, describe it in your followup discussion, and provide evidence and commentary to support your diagnosis. You may not use any app in Microsoft Office as your example.
Making a Good Diagnosis
A good example of featuritis in some app should include: i) the name of the app, its relevant version number or edition, and the platform (or operating system) it runs on; ii) a description of the app’s features, including how they changed over time, their discoverability, their findability, etc.; and iii) some before and after screenshots.
A really good example of featuritis in some app is grounded in the language of affordances, signifiers, or even the Seven Stages of Action.
Look at and reply to the posts that other groups made.
29.4. After Breakout Groups¶
Discuss some examples together.
29.5. After Class¶
Before the next class period, individually comment on another group’s post by replying to their followup discussion in Piazza @93.
Continue reading the Practicum module.
Read the abstracts for upcoming paper presentations – the schedule can be found here.
