As the semester winds down, we always enjoy seeing the students and faculty coming through our doors in the final days. In addition to a growing number of students producing digital storytelling projects, we’ve been happy to see groups using the collaborative spaces in new ways.

A couple weeks ago Mike Wiggins brought his ART 457: Interactive Design class over for their final project. Students broke into groups to propose mobile app ideas, develop basic functionality, consider user personas, and produce wireframes and then final screen designs of their proposed app.

Check the class blog to see student reflections and screen mock-ups.

Mike sent us an update this week, including a link to the final project critique. Two alums of the department of Art & Design, now working for MEplusU in Dallas (formerly IMC2), joined the class in a Google Hangout to hear student pitches and provide feedback of their work.
