An insight into teaching Entity Relationship Modelling and Forms Design
Having spent 3 lectures introducing a stage 2 class to entity relationship modelling, I was wondering how to begin UI design in a more effective way. Then I met with the course tutors who had been doing ER labs in which some students were very lost.
As they spoke I realised that the students ‘hands’ had never touched data. So in the lecture, we began by looking at an ERD (Chinook) in SQL Server and then looked at the tables structure and content. We attached to the tables with Visual LightSwitch, followed by dear old Access, creating 1-Many-Many forms on Artists, Albums and Tracks in both. Suddenly we were in forms UX-land beginning a discussion on what makes a good form with two differently generated forms waiting to be polished.
Next time around I would traverse this path first before coming to ERDs intertwined with more UX design. This could be constructed as a Learning Path in SocialLearn.
Lightswitch is great for quick prototypes.

Microsoft releases location based meeting application for Windows Phone 7
Microsoft releases location based meeting application for Windows Phone 7

“Microsoft has recently released a new location based application for Windows Phone 7 called We’re In. This app allows users to simply invite people to a meeting or an event with the use of Bing Maps. I unfortunately can’t test it out because the current version only works in the US and Israel but here’s the official description anyway:
Update: We’re In seems to be the first official Mango application available on the Marketplace as it support contacs integration and fast application switching.
We’re In makes organizing get-togethers, carpooling or trying to find people in a crowd a breeze. Any time you want to see where your friends are – We’re In can help you. It’s simple, invite your friends, and when they join, they’ll see your location and you’ll see theirs. When the invite expires, so does the shared location – no complicated process to worry about.
We’re In allows you to:
•Create a get-together invite for a group of friends
•See where your friends are
•Share your location with your friends in real time
•Control your privacy – your location is only shared with the group of invitees, only for a short time slot
