Introduction
Currently, I have two classes in the Ed Tech department. One involves interface design, and the other involves current technologies (podcasting, blogging and wikis). The psychology behind the theory of design resonates strongly because of my previous background in the creative arts industry. I’m finding the Gestalt principles apply across the board in many disciplines: proximity, similarity, closure, continuity, symmetry. And the use of color is something that needs to be used but needs to be used with maximum impact. I feel the same about technologies or glitz that can be added to websites. Just because the ability exists does not mean that it is prudent that you do it. The brain functioning behind the technology aspect is intriguing and needs to be addressed in all decisions when composing a site. Each time something is included, or excluded, a decision needs to be made if it is serving the user.
Audacity Gone Bad
I have been working with Audacity for awhile and it has turned into a disaster. I’m thinking it might be the actual problem as to why I’m having so many problems with my computer. As soon as I started to work with the program again, my computer started acting up. I get a message that says it detects another copy of Audacity is running and that two copies can’t be running simultaneously even though only one copy is open. I’m thinking that possibly something else might have been dragged with the download. I’m going to try to uninstall it and then reinstall to see if it will correct the problem. With luck this will solve the problem.
