"iLearn’s interface architecture lacks user-centered design and can be perceived as problematic for its users.
The purpose of this study was to identify deficiencies and give recommendations of an upgraded system that is ideal for professors as well as students.”
Sound like proper statements?
Just learned that programmers are currently working to improve iLearn - a new version will be up in fall '09. The changes will primarily upgrade items dealing with storing/database + include additional apps. One nice feature is the digital archive (http://diva.sfsu.edu) to be integrated into iLearn. The look will be updated (less brown, more university..) but UI seems to remain..

I'm a DAI Vis Com major with an emphasis in the San Francisco Experience.. I am wowed by people who never give up (but know when to stop and turn in a new direction). I look at digital re-mixers April Greiman , Paula Scher and David Carson (long live the 90s) for artistic inspiration + do I the late Robert Rauchenberg.

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it”- Jim Jarmusch.
1. iLearn can be difficult for professors to use.
The purpose of this study was to identify deficiencies and implement a system for professors that is relevant and functional.
2. The many user interface system San Francisco State University employ confuse its large core audience.
The purpose of this study was to create a unified platform which will be used by a diverse group of people.
3. City College of San Francisco has a confusing and outdated website.
The purpose of the study was to create a user friendly website fitted for prospective and enrolled students.
4. Art/design courses at City College of San Francisco seem to be underutilized.
The goal is to strengthen the organization by reaching out to creatives who could benefit from such programs, in turn strengthening the current curriculum.
