had a small breakthrough today on the PhD: when asked to write for 10 minutes non stop in a ‘how to get yourself started’ workshop.
I discovered that I’ve never really stated that I want to approach this PhD as a design problem, looking at education and other things (like IxDA) as a service.
so
if IxDA, education [...]
Designing Interaction Design
essential qualities and capacities for interaction design practice
What am I doing?
Fifteen years ago, you could find Interaction Designers – if you traveled to Silicon Valley, or maybe a few select Universities across the world. Today, the profession supports a global network numbering in the thousands. Many of the professions leaders have backgrounds [...]
Designing Interaction Design
PhD (Communication Design)
This research explores the rapidly forming field of Interaction Design, and seeks to answer the following questions:
what qualities and capacities do interaction designers deem essential to their practice?

Jamin Hegeman has posted about my brown bag presentation at Adaptive Path last month… This reminds me I should get back in touch with Jamin about CMU for the education snapshot we’re doing for IxDA.
How emotion is made and measured

This is an important paper in the field of HCI and interaction design generally, and affective computing specifically. The paper puts forward “an interactional account of emotion and the role that it plays in action and practice.” It contrasts this with what the [...]
Because I work with a lot of architects (and almost became one, once) I think quite a bit about architecture and its relationship to interaction design.
I’ve realised that much of this thinking is piecemeal and not really coherent, but I think that Ranulph’s comments in my recent proposal review were not just in reference to [...]
I’m playing with DabbleDB as a platform to collect information on Interaction Design courses and programs throughout the world. The aim is to keep this globally accessible and crowdsource the content.
Look after the jump for a map and listing of the current database.
Follows is reflection on the feedback from my PhD proposal at October 2008’s GRC. Disclaimer, this is primarily for me, and is written as such. YMMV.
