Protocol Komplexpraktikum "Create and Learn" II

Place: SE II/021
Date: 12.10.2006
Start: 15.15
Finish: 17.00
Participants: Alexander, Carola, Katrin, Linda, Marc, Nico, Ria, Ronny
Protocol: Nico

Collected ideas how to improve the program

- Nico/Carola: better integration of create and Learn, simplify it, small and easily understandable examples in the learn part, more tasks to apply the things learned, more interaction (not just asking questions)
- Ronny: Feedback
- evaluation of the compositions
- Linda: break the static pattern of the grid in order to enhance the possibilities of composition, e.g. adding diagonals and curves to the repertoire
- (Dr. Hamann) (how to) influence the users towards composition, for example make them avoid complete balance (forms, colours, areas, etc.)
- limit the amount of chips available (in certain cases)
- Katrin: self assessment of the created pictures by the user to acquire (design) experience
- Nico: simpler evaluation through the restriction of colours (grey scale colours only)
- paint in a composition with a fixed palette, try different alternatives of that, (user) evaluation afterwards
- Linda: the creation process is conscious and unconscious as well

Tasks

- What question shall the evaluation feedback form include?
- Who wants to participate in which group?
- Figure out what ideas and changes are necessary and what can be postponed.
- Carola: preparation of the timetable
