Abstract
This project explores the use of scenario-based design (SBD) to
build notification systems. This
report describes in detail the procedure used and the products from each stage
of SBD, requirements analysis, activity design, information design, and
interaction design. The work
motivates the inclusion of rapid prototyping during the information and
interaction phases of design, and the necessity of the Activity Checklist to
guide activity design (Kaptelinin, Nardi
& Macaulay, 1999). We discuss lessons learned and propose steps we could take
to improve our design process in the future. The results of the prototype evaluations are used to make
MNS design improvements.
