The aim of this assignment is for you to think about the appropriateness of different kinds of conceptual models that have been designed for similar physical and digital information artifacts;
Compare the following:
A personal paper-based calendar versus a digital based calendar;
A shared paper-based wall planner versus a shared web-based calendar.
· What are the main concepts and metaphors that have been used for each (think about the way time is conceptualized for each of them)?
· How do they differ?
· What aspects of the paper-based artifact have informed the digital calendar?
· What is the new functionality?
· Are any aspects of the conceptual model confusing?
· Do you use a paper-based or web-based calendar?
· What are the pros and cons of the one you use?
