For the final project, your assignment is to design and test new features, new support materials, or new activities for a creative learning technology -- and to write a "design brief" discussing the motivations, rationale, and principles underlying your design.
You are welcome (in fact, encouraged) to work in groups. If possible, you should test your tool/materials/activities with sample users. A design brief outline and sample projects are linked from the syllabus.
In class yesterday, we reviewed the schedule of final project waypoints.
