Your milestone deliverables much be submitted
BEFORE the due date/time, as posted on the schedule page.
Hard copy deliverables
You will occasionally need to submit hard copies of materials from your evaluation - e.g., signed consent forms, raw data and completed questionnaires, etc. For this you should use a 2
inch 3-ring binder with tabbed dividers, which you should keep in a team locker in the HCI studio (X360). We recommend consolidating materials in this binder as you complete your evaluations - this will make it easy to hand it in to the TA when required.
Design process blog and updates
Purpose: With some exceptions, the majority of your project updates for the rest of the semester will be on the blog. You will need to update your blog several times over the semester for each milestone. The blog is intended to afford more flexibility in how you present your milestone updates than a written report would, and will make it easier to follow the progress of other teams in the class.
Setup: You may create your team's online portfolio using the web tool of your choosing. Rather than coding something from scratch, we strongly recommend using a flexible blogging platform such as Wordpress or the UBC Blogs Wordpress tool. The URL for your blog must contain "cs444-<team name>"
Posting updates: Remember that our ethics approval does NOT allow you to post video of participants. If you want to include video illustrating, for example, and interaction that you observed in your field study, then you would need to reinact this interaction with your teammates.
LIMITS: Limit video segments used in your blog to about 45s, and 4-5 minutes in total per post (otherwise they are difficult to review). Depending on the blog service you use, you may have limited upload space. Consider using an outside service that you can integrate with UBC Blogs such as Flickr for your photos, YouTube for your videos, or DivShare for your files.
Edit freeze: After each blog update you will need to freeze the relevant post(s) for ~1 week while it is being marked - you may not edit the submitted post during this time. If we observe any editing at all during this time, your team will recieve an automatic zero. You can update other sections of the blog not tied to the specific update.
Submit a copy: In addition to freezing the relevant post(s) as above - you must submit an electronic copy of the blog post in PDF following the directions below. To create a PDF of a blog post, in Chrome, for example, you can press Ctrl+P to bring up the print menu, then change destination to “save as PDF” to save a PDF screenshot.
Electronic submission instructions via Canvas
Format: All electronic submissions of must be in PDF format.
Size: It is important to minimize file size to reduce course disk space needs. Use Acrobat's "Reduce File Size" option (or similar option in whatever software you're using) to compress your PDF and down-sample all images to 150 dpi and black-and-white or grayscale, whenever appropriate.
Filename: Project proposal filenames should be in the format
<name>-<assignment name>.pdf. All team milestone filenames should be in the format
<team name>-<assignment name>.pdf. Use web-friendly filenames (under 20 characters,
no spaces or funny characters). For example: TheGoGetters-MSIII.pdf.
Test: Ensure that your submissions are viewable on a departmental machine before submitting.
Number of submissions: For team deliverables, make only one submission per team: choose one team member to submit.
