Explaining the simple machines that make the Life Size Mousetrap (lifesizemousetrap.org) work.

We were having problems with our generators most of the morning; Steve is explaining this.

My name is Bob Griffin, and I am a full-time faculty member who teaches Information Architecture for the Web Design & Interactive Media Department at The New England Institute of Art. I joined forces with Dorothee Shamonsky and Kay Aubrey (who were the Interface Design and Usability adjunct faculty, respectively) to define the interaction design curricula at the college. The reason that we felt it necessary to get together and define the interaction design curricula was due to our student population complaining about too much overlap in the three separate areas of study.

It’s my feeling that Information Architecture, Interface Design and Usability are separate areas of study, and yet they are also three peas in a pod. You have to have one to help define the other. Trying to talk about one without some semblance of understanding of the other two, is like trying to describe the Three Stooges by only talking about Larry.

Please take a look at what we came up with below. There will always be agreement to disagree — but in the long run — after we did this analysis, our students stopped complaining.

"This is FIRE."

Quidditch was played with modified college rules.

There weren't enough people to make four quidditch teams, so houses were combined. Draconius and Hootenclaw made up team Dragonclaw, while Rufflescrub and Vesperion created the Masked Bats.

HoggsTowne was a Harry Potter-inspired event held at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill. We had dinners in a "Great Hall," attended classes and even took final exams. Words and pictures cannot tell you how much fun it was.
