Intended Users:– middle-school students

(grades 6-8)

Problem:– confused and

disorganized by multiple classes and teachers

– carrying 30+ pound back packs

eBinder®

• A personalized window into their entire school life, using the familiar metaphor of a "school binder."

• An easy way to access assignments and organize their school life (like a physical binder). – tabs labeled for each class– a calendar– alerts regarding new, due and

OVER due assignments.• A place to do and submit their

work, communicate with their teacher, and collaborate with other students.

• Video streamed announcement messages from the school principal

eBinder® Provides Students With:

The Challenge• What functions are

needed and where do they go in an e-binder?

• How much does the binder metaphor dictate the solution?

Design Challenge 1:

Functionality Implementation

Design Principles • Consistency: paper and

pen metaphor• Visibility: Put functions

specific to the page at the top of the relevant page

• Progressive Disclosure: tap-and-hold pop-up menus

• Reduce Memory Load: Opening and closing the lid automatically performs on/off, login/logout.

Design Challenge 1:

Functionality Implementation

The Challenge• What is the best way to

organize information using the tab system, so that the binder is easily navigable?

Design Challenge 2: Organization and

Navigation

Design Principles• Less is more: Restricted

tabs to two levels deep• Consistency: Consistent

“home” page format for all subjects

• Visible Affordances: All home pages highlight “new” items since the student last visited


Navigation

Design Principles• Progressive

Disclosure: The first page of a subtab is an index of the contents

• Efficiency: All items that exist elsewhere in the binder are hyperlinked for easy access


Navigation

Most Interesting HCI Feature:

The Binder Metaphor

• Naturally maps to paper & pencil experience that students are already accustomed to

Our Approach• Large size are easier to

see and manipulate then the smaller existing PDAs (Palm, Newton)

• Students can easily identify with the paper/pencil metaphor

• Students do not need to learn another alphabet

• Freehand writing with a pen minimizes Articulatory Distance and leads to High Engagement

Most Interesting HCI Feature:

The Binder Metaphor
