Opencast Matterhorn Design Studio Team 2

Design Studio team presentations from the Opencast Matterhorn team meeting in Zurich, Switzerland. Sept 25, 2009. A design studio is an activity which merges user-centered design and agile development. The project team members (including designers and non-designers interested in the process) work together to create several different rough designs for a particular scenario. They usually create the designs after reviewing models and knowledge gathered during previous user research, but may also bring in their own subject matter expert knowledge to the process. The team then critiques & discusses the designs, and ideally also merges them into one design concept to move forward. Because we didn't have the time for a whole day session at the Zurich meeting (which is recommended for design studios), we were not able to perform the merging step. However, Allison & Judy plan to complete this work as part of their work on the Admin app conceptual framework.
