Domains and Interdisciplinary Approach

[edit]

I'm restoring these sections. Designing Interactions provides numerous example both of the many domains worked in by interaction designers and also of their need to work in collaboration with other disciplines. What's the best way to cite this book as a reference for those sections? 24.193.161.124 14:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not by creating a whole top-level section for each concept. The whole article structure is a mess. It would be better served by a single section that unified all those bits of information through narrative, instead of creating whole chapters that just have one phrase.
How about citing the book this way, combining all sections into one?

The book Designing Interactions introduces the concept of Interaction Design Domains: Interaction designers work in many areas... (blah blah). The book also presents ID as an interdisciplinary process: Interaction designers often work in interdisciplinary teams...

Interactive design

[edit]

In ecommerce interactive design refers to an emerging form of customization of products or gifts. A new virtual product is created when a customer makes a series of design choices based on templates provided to facilitate the customization of the product. As the number of choices grows it multiplies with each series of design directives. It can often result in a product with thousands of unique design venues for the same product. The best examples of customizable interactive design can be seen on the web for Nike shoes and the design configurator for the Mini Cooper Automobile. --Teann 05:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't found any references about this meaning of the term. If you can provide some, we can put it back into the article. --Diego 15:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External link: Interaction-Design.org

[edit]

May I propose Interaction-Design.org as an obvious addition to the external link section? It is the first hit returned when searching google for "interaction design"

Section removed: "Relationship with instructional design"

[edit]

I've removed the following section as I don't see how it helps the reader understand interaction design, and is also unreferenced and vague. In an article on subject X, we should consider including comparisons to subject Y if reliable sources on subject X also tend to do so, but I don't think that's the case here.

Instructional design is a goal-oriented, user-centric approach to creating training and education software or written materials. Interaction design and instructional design both rely on cognitive psychology theories to focus on how users will interact with software. They both take an in-depth approach to analyzing the user's needs and goals. A needs analysis is often performed in both disciplines. Both approach the design from the user's perspective. Both involve gathering feedback from users and making revisions until the product or service has been found to be effective. (Summative / formative evaluations) In many ways, instructional design can be considered a precursor to interaction design.

Removal of sections

[edit]

Firstly I have to apologise for removing so much information on the article. But I figure the quickest way to ramp up the quality of the article in general is to remove everything sub-standard or uncited.

  • currently every section is cited
  • it would be wonderful if a subject matter expert could come and judge the material ehre
  • if we can establish why people come to this article structuring it would be so much simpler.

Universities with Interaction Design

[edit]

Hey there Diego, I see you undid my revision removing the Universities with Interaction Design artciles and quoted the five pillars. You may have been right or wrong to do it, honestly I'm not sure. I know some of the changes I have made are rather extreme, but I am rather confused as to why you re-added them. My reasoning for removing them was that they don't seem to provide anything useful to the article. The only time I can think it was useful is when someone is looking for a school to study Interaction Design and that would be much better served by another tool.

As I was saying earlier, I may be completely in the wrong here, but I can't see I good reason for keeping them. If you would mind enlightening me as to there usefulness I would be less confused.

Thanks Stevie. (resigned, had to log on) Gnepets (talk) 08:43, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason you stated for deleting the table is that "no one is questioning it's legitimacy as a field these days". I don't see that the list should be included only to establish the validity of the field. The fact that readers can be interested to find notable schools that offer academic training is a valid reason to keep that information here; this kind of lists is acceptable per the pillar I quoted. Given that someone has taken the time to compile that list, I see that deleting it is a loss. If you know of a better tool that serves the same purpose you could link to it as a reference and maybe then the list wouldn't be needed, but you didn't do that in your removal. Diego (talk) 08:54, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
PS. It would be great if you could clarify which tools did you mean by "better served by another tool"! ;.) Diego (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the removal of the section. One of our guidelines regarding what content is suitable for inclusion is that Wikipedia is not a directory, as explained in WP:NOT. The vast majority of articles on professions and disciplines follow this guideline by not including a list of schools teaching that profession or discipline. Readers who are interested in finding schools offering academic training in this field would be served well by a directory, not an encyclopedia article. I understand Diego's point that this is useful information and isn't compiled anywhere else, however that is not Wikipedia's problem to solve. A good place for it might be the iXda.org website. I'll drop a note to the iXda people to see if they're willing to take it. For reference, I've copied the section that was cut to here: Talk:Interaction design/Schools.

It doesn't look like this was ever resolved, but I see the content is back. I split the list to List of interaction design programs, which isn't a solution either, but I think improves both this article and the usability of the list. --Pnm (talk) 02:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should wireframes be mentioned?

[edit]

As an interaction designer myself I'm puzzled that wireframes are not mentioned in this article. I think of them as the core deliverable of the interaction designer. What are the counterarguments for referring to them? Bjornte (talk) 11:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
