Course Description:

INTD 401 Integration Project I: Project Planning

This Course will focus on the project management aspects of the integration project – team building, organization, planning, and project definition. Students will create a workable team structure, generate and evaluate innovative project ideas, select the strongest alternative, then prepare and produce a detailed project plan.

INTD 402 Integration Project I: Product Definition

This Course will focus on research and refinement of ideas leading to a substantive product concept. Working in teams, students will identify their audience, assess market opportunities, assess technical feasibility, generate user scenarios, refine ideas and formulate a workable project concept.

INTD 403 Integration Project I: Product Design Development

This Course will focus on the design development of a specific project concept. Working in teams, students will storyboard a revised user scenario, develop the design details, evaluate the concept, develop a narrative presentation and solicit feedback from their prospective audience to help them assess the viability or their work.

Course Objectives:

INTD 401

Create a synergistic team by analyzing individual strengths and negotiating appropriate responsibilities within the team structure.
Co-generate project ideas that respond to the combined strengths of the team.
Rank the project ideas based on the team strengths.
Prepare and produce a detailed project plan including resource allocation, timeline and milestones.
Present and defend the details of the project plan

INTD 402

Generate user scenarios that address contextual issues for the identified audience.
Identify options and evaluate the feasibility of alternate technical solutions for implementing the two strongest project ideas (from INTD 401).
Prepare a strategy and gather data on prospective users and market opportunities for the two strongest ideas (from INTD 401) through literature search and interviews with prospective users
Prepare, present and justify the team decision on project concepts in an on-line digital format.
Rank the project ideas based on team strengths, project constraints (time & budget), market potential and technical feasibility
Refine the details of the most promising idea to formulate a workable project concept

INTD 403

Create a detailed storyboard of a user scenario
Design, script and produce a stand alone narrative presentation (digital presentation on CD) that will “walk” an audience through the project concept.
Develop design detail, visualize and model a project concept using both mechanical and advanced digital modeling and animation techniques
Test a concept (conduct user evaluations and solicit feedback)

Delivery Method:

INTD 401,402:Mixed Collaborative (MC).

In this course delivery model collaborative students engage in face-to-face (F2F) class one week and asynchronous conferencing the next week. In a typical week students work through content within a web presentation, then depending on the cycle, either participate in structured face-to-face or online collaborative learning activities facilitated by learning staff. Cooperative learning activities may be designed for completion within the class session, or they may extend for a week or longer using online team conferences. Asynchronous conferencing may be employed for team conferences, section conferences and the Q&A board. Optional resources may include a textbook, web links, or CD-ROMs. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment is based on assignments, individual and group projects, and participation in online discussions.

INTD 403:Presentational Cooperative (PC).

In this course delivery model students meet once per week to participate in cooperative learning activities facilitated by an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. The Presentational Cooperative Model reproduces most of the cost advantages of traditional lecture course while offering students more convenient access and more effective conditions for learning. Courses using this model will build the collaborative work skills that are a primary learning goal for Students. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment may be based on individual and group assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations.
