Lecture - Liveblogging

I thought I'd try something different, yay liveblogging, or quasi-live anyway

Megan and I are here, so is mitchell, no sign of pierre. Great lecture turnout today! There's about 22 people! yay!
So we're currently talking about plagarism and assignment 6. People focusing on the same ideas, collusion, things like that. Basically we've got to take it seriously and understand it, but we're not meant to panic.

And now on to assignment 6 itself.
- Deadline for the final assignment is 9:00 Monday the 7th of May.

Public Holiday on monday! So now we're moving to 9:00 TUESDAY morning. Huzzah. Not that we'll really require the extra day, but it would be nice.

oh, Format, that's a good idea :
- Responding in First Person is fine
- Context is a blog post
- Not expecting full blown academic prose ( ie, report )
- It's about "you doing a comparison with your project"

So we're able to write from our perspective, which makes is neat!

What should we look for :
- Audience Experience
- Conceptual and artistic satement
- Constraints
- Technology ( smaller part )
How does this influence our project ? Reflect about what we want to achieve and where we want to head.

"Using (y)our time wisely"
- Concerned about low lecture attendance ( :O )
- Timetabled for teamwork
- Lecturers available for feedback/Questions
- Tutors are paid to help us! excellent.

Proof of Concept
- What is required from us at the end of the semester.

Prototype has to convey the concept.

Exhibit Requirements
- Please Post to Newsgroups ( One Post Per Group )
- Physical Space Required
- Preferences for Specific location
- Any Technology Requirements
- Projector
- Phidgets, sunSPOTs, etc

List Possible Scenarios. Best case, Worst case etc.

Portfolio
- Based around description of design for ubicomp
- html
- use portfolio drive in home directory.
Criteria is still not finished, but start thinking about what is going to be put into the report.
- Extended blog is halfway point to the final portfolio.
- Report is combined with portfolio. Allows for linking, images, all sorts of fun things like that.

And that was the last slide, so I think that's it. There's a few more questions. one about the portfolio system not working, but Im pretty sure it is working - Not using the VPN perhaps ?

And that's it.
Yay liveblogging.
