Masters students from the Human-Computer
Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University worked with
Texas Insturments' Education Department to apply usability practices
to their software design process and output
Our
mission was to standardize the look and feel of their desktop
software and common functionality across TI software applications
to help increase the productivity of the educator and engage the
classroom.
Experiential
learning is a key component of the MHCI program. Through a substantial
team project, students apply classroom knowledge in analysis and
evaluation, implementation and design, and develop skills working
in multidisciplinary teams.
