Information/Instructional Design

"Information Design is the VISUAL method of explaining and interpreting complex information and data to help the user achieve a particular objective."
Saul Carliner 2002

Instructional design is the process of learning needs and goals and the development of a delivery system to meet those needs. This can be achieved through systematic development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of instruction.

Interactive Design

"Interaction designers strive to create useful and usable products and services. Following the fundamental tenets of user-centered design, the practice of interaction design is grounded in an understanding of real users—their goals, tasks, experiences, needs, and wants. Approaching design from a user-centered perspective, while endeavoring to balance users' needs with business goals and technological capabilities, interaction designers provide solutions to complex design challenges, and define new and evolving interactive products and services.

The success of products in the marketplace depends on the design of high-quality, engaging interactive experiences. Good interaction design:

-effectively communicates a system's interactivity and functionality

-defines behaviors that communicate a system's responses to user interactions

-reveals both simple and complex workflows

-informs users about system state changes

-prevents user error"

Web 2.0 Insight

What they do- A text messaging service that lets people send notes to groups. "you can send something to one number and it's distributed to other people," said Ryan Freitas, an interaction designer at Adaptive path in San Francisco. "It tells people who you are. It's kind of like microblogging. It's really a lot of fun. Part of Web 2.0 is that it's fun and it's a utility combined with one another, so people enjoy what they're doing while they're getting something out of it."

Web 2.0 Examples

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an "architecture of participation," and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.
