Context

The Excel Flashcards project was a class assignment in an Instructional Design and Production class in spring 2004.

Conditions

This project was developed for use by students in an undergraduate Computers in Business course that addressed advanced spreadsheet functions. Two instructors for sections of the course were part of a four person development team, who acted as subject matter experts for the project. One of the instructors and a third team member developed the paper prototype of this game.

Scope

This game was tested on students in multiple sections and received good reviews. We delivered a final version of this game, which the course instructors (two teammates) indicated would be used in future sections of the course to help student prepare for exams.

Role

In this project I helped design the layout of the game, shared ActionScript programming responsibilities with one other group member, and designed the usability instruments. The entire project was a collaborative effort, with much of the initial design work taking place during group meMarch 27, 2006 out, another member and myself worked on the ActionScript (and some XML) necessary to make the game work. We each took on separate functions of the overall program.
