Re: [IxDA Discuss] Which comes first: Task Flows or Wires?
If you are an interaction designer, you should consider starting out with flow map (even if you have a strict feature content requirements from engineering or marketing). This exercise not only put you (or your team) out of your comfort zone and think from user's perspective but also force you to think like the user (rather than like the designer). In mapping out the most straight forward mental model of flow of information, you will eventually find yourself creating necessary wireframes to visually communicate the information layout, behaviors, and use cases. At the end, just like anything else, this is also an iterative process. So don't let yourself love your flow map too much because it will change as you move down the product dev process. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] How to study abroad for Interaction Design or Human factor?
go check out hcirn.com Choosing a grad school especially in the field of IxD or HCI requires specific goal settings. What do you want to do with the degree? Personally I've seen so many students going after the entitlement, they ended up failing (or should I say not able to contribute to the organization) rather quickly. So ask yourself why you need one...answer this will help you narrow down the list of grad schools. Kevin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
An eye-tracking is the best way to micro analyze the pattern of [you name anything]. At the end, the significance (or ROI) from micro analyzing the scanning pattern of how people search for certain information is insiginificant as the time involves in analyzing, creating report, set up a meeting to report out, etc is completely irrelevent to the needs of users. This is where 80/20 rule must be applied. Is an eye-tracking helping us to solve 20% of problems that contribute the success of 80%? I don't think so. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
