May 3: Updated: Voting II and Identifying Users

Vivek Rao — Mon, 03 May 2010 10:42:07 +0000

Hey Everyone,

A couple of logistical points before I take the plunge into this update.

First, check out the snazzy new discussion forum! Second, have a look at the rest-of-course calendar I post-it'd in the attached image. It looks like we'll need another 5-6 weeks of weekly meetings to get where I wanted the course to be. This of course puts us some 8 weeks beyond the original P2PU finish line, but that's on me.

Okay, so, action items:

Design Challenge Assignment: A Good Design Challenge You've Encountered

Vivek Rao — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:41:29 +0000

Think of a 'design challenge' that you've encountered in your professional/academic/other experience that was particularly successful. What was good about it, why did it work?

Think of a particularly 'bad' design challenge. Why was it, well, bad? Why didn't it work? How could it have been better?

Project Idea: Harmonic Theology

Curtis Frantz — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:19:44 +0000

So many people today see Church, or other religious institutions, today, as just another responsibility, one becoming increasingly irrelevant to everyday life. At least, this is the case in America, and I have had experience with the opinions of those from other "First World Nations" that agree that such attitudes are strong throughout the developed world.

Project Idea: Redesigning organizations

Jane Park — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 16:30:58 +0000

Organizations, especially nonprofit organizations, arise out of an ideal, or the need to better serve the community at large. Once organizations achieve scale, this initial ideal, or vision, is often lost sight of amid unforeseen operational tape. Sometimes, it seems like organizations exist just to keep people employed! How do we redesign organizations so that they are more efficient at bypassing all the red tape and keep on target with serving the needs of the community?
