      Assigment 2: Create an information architecture of your world Assignment
      Not available unless: You belong to any group

      An information architecture (IA) is a design tool that can be used to depict the resources and assets that are used to create your world. Here you will consider what are the elements that are needed to compose the world. The IA will help you to understand how the elements in your world fit together enabling you to plan and quantify what is needed. The description attached includes an example.

      Assignment 3: Bringing the interaction into your world
      Not available unless: You belong to any group

      You will need to define the interaction patterns in your world experience. Using a narrative is a good way to begin to outline the experience. The narrative can include key points in a journey as well as sequentially organised scenes. An interaction matrix is a tool that we developed to keep track of all the items that are involved in each of the narrative scenes.
