Wrapping Up Another Semester
Last night I critiqued eighteen interactive data visualizations, and I’m quite pleased with the results. Considering that the majority of the students had no previous experience working in Flash, the projects covered the gamut from fully functional to concepts documented with screen renderings and storyboards. There were plenty of bugs and numerous interaction design gaffes, but the concepts were well represented and the students learned a lot.
Working with a class of eighteen made up mostly of seniors has been a striking contrast to a class of six or so masters students. It has been a lot more time consuming, and there have been some disappointments, but overall it has been quite rewarding. I’m very proud of what my class has accomplished this semester, and I’ll continue to share the best of it here.
