3D Navigation - designa nd collaboration

Students from 3D design - Simone, Deb and Bee.

Can you please organise your files, images and notes about the 3D navigation design of the exhibition - basically the work you presented at the Thursday meeting - in a format that will communicate your intent.

The architecture and design students, who you asked to help, are expecting to receive something tomorrow; they are in class between 9 and 1 in Purple 11.

Class schedule for the rest of the semester

–The assessment items for the clustered unit Collaboration and Origination is a successful delivery of the end of year exhibition and a blog that links the reading, The Laws of Simplicity, with your work and learnings
–Attendance – students require minimum 80% attendance to get competency for the course, if you have missed more than 2 classes you will need to put in some extra work towards the end of the semester. Classes will run right up to the exhibition date in 5 weeks which commences October 29th

Law 8: TRUST: As usual please answer the following questions as succinctly as possible in your own words, post results on your blog
–Provide an example of a situation where you have to have trust – in the same vein as the author in his swimming lesson example. What made you trust in this situation and how did you feel?
–Where in our exhibition do we need to instill trust? Give examples. How are we going to achieve this?
–What strategies are used to instill trust? Examples? Where do we need to employ this in Point? How are we going to do this?
–If you could “undo” any aspect of the preparation for the exhibition to-date, what would you “undo”? With this in mind, what would would you change now in your preparation strategy to overcome having to “undo” anything?
Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to The Point exhibition? Provide a short explanation and example for each of the laws so far. Use your work towards and your examples.
