Lis, I relate this to information and apps on an ecommerce site. Some apps will be standalone. So for example there might be a budget calculator that has some of the costs already factored in, and space for the student to add others. Other apps might be integrated into the flow, such as someone looking at different courses, might be able to click to add a course to 'my favourites'. Look for points where people would want to use the information in an app, and seamlessly integrate between them. * Nick Gassman - Usability and Standards Manager - http://ba.com * ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
