Cognitive Disentropy Theory - A grid for UX thinkingTim Caynes
The document discusses several theories and frameworks related to cognitive modeling and user experience design:
1. Cognitive Disentropy Theory from 1956 proposes that the human mind can determine cognitive grids using 7 "resolution messages".
2. In 2006, Jennifer McGuinn applied Cognitive Disentropy Theory to create an extensible framework for parallel user experience design.
3. Tim Caynes' 2012 UX Method Interpolation Theory suggests choosing appropriate methods flexibly based on needs rather than following a single prescribed methodology.
IDGA is excited to announce registration is now open for the 7th Annual Military Radar Summit – the premier military radar community event of the year! We had an excellent turnout last year and are building on this success through innovative sessions and speakers for 2014.
This year’s event is on the “business of radars” that seeks to bridge gaps between DOD, US Government, OEM’s, subcontractors, academia, and businesses of all sizes. It provides a forum for radar stakeholders to look to the future of military radar while examining projects aimed at prolonging the lives of current US military radars.
The document is a student requesting a grade of 6 for a synthesis paper on social entrepreneurship. The student argues they deserve a high grade because they provided in-depth information on social entrepreneurship and examples in their paper. They created 3 designs, evaluated the pros and cons of each, and provided a reasoned choice for their final design. The student followed the design cycle process, including daily reflections and focusing their project on a social entrepreneur who makes accessories from plastic waste. Feedback suggested improving the video portion by making it more interesting.
The documents discuss the impact of the World Wide Web (WWW) on education and social entrepreneurship. Regarding education, the WWW has allowed students to access more information online and engage with subjects interactively. It has also enabled new forms of distance learning and international collaboration between colleges. For social entrepreneurship, the documents define it as addressing social issues through innovative, sustainable businesses. Examples are given of social entrepreneurs who have created solutions for issues like poverty, waste, and disabilities. Their work often combines business and social goals. Education can impact social entrepreneurship by training social entrepreneurs and connecting them with organizations working on social issues.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Rotary International sponsors Interact clubs for youth aged 12 to 18 to develop leadership skills through community service. The author's goal was to introduce the idea of starting an Interact club at their school by creating a recruiting video and poster. They researched Rotary and Interact clubs online and by visiting an existing club. The sources provided information about the benefits of membership and process for starting a new club. The final products highlighted opportunities for international travel, university recommendations, and CAS hours to encourage students to join. Feedback from peers and supervisors suggested the video and poster successfully conveyed the goals of Interact clubs.
Rotary is an international service organization that focuses on community service and developing leadership skills in youth. The document discusses Interact Club, which is Rotary International's service club for youth ages 12 to 18. The author's goal was to create a recruiting video and poster to introduce the idea of starting an Interact Club at their school, Beijing BISS International School. To achieve this, the author researched Rotary and Interact Club online and by visiting an existing Interact Club. They applied what they learned about the benefits of Interact Club to their video and poster in order to attract students to the club. The author believes their final products successfully conveyed the value of joining Interact Club.
The document summarizes the author's goal of creating a recruiting video and poster to introduce the idea of starting an Interact Club at their school as part of Rotary International. The author conducted research on Rotary and Interact Clubs by exploring the Rotary website and handbook. They also visited an existing Interact Club at another school. The sources helped the author understand the background of Rotary and benefits of Interact Clubs. Potential challenges like copyright issues with directly using Rotary materials were addressed by changing the product to a video instead of a booklet. The final video and poster highlighted benefits like university recommendations, job opportunities, and fulfilling CAS requirements to appeal to and recruit students.
The document promotes joining the Rotary club at BISS to fulfill CAS requirements, enhance college applications and résumés, and gain experience as a humanitarian through helping civilians in other countries. Students are encouraged to contact Ms. Krengel for more information on becoming a leader and humanitarian through participating in the Rotary club's activities.
Three types of Rotary clubs can be established: community based clubs, school based clubs, and Interact clubs for students. Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs and give students opportunities for leadership and community service both locally and internationally. Starting a successful Interact club requires commitment from school staff as a coordinator, activities that benefit the community, and fundraising to be split between money raised by students and sponsorship by Rotary.

The Six Day War began on June 5, 1967 when Israel launched a surprise air attack on Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces, destroying over 400 Arab planes. Within a few days, Israel gained control of the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, and Golan Heights. This doubled Israel's size and weakened its Arab neighbors, who lost thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks. The war heightened tensions and displaced many Palestinians, placing the occupied territories under Israeli control.
Banksy created a satirical graffiti artwork on the West Bank Barrier depicting a young girl searching a soldier. The piece aims to ironically portray the roles of Palestinians and Israelis swapped. It highlights the daily hardship Palestinians face with their lands cut off and strict controls at Barrier crossings, while Israelis feel protected by the Barrier. Banksy uses his signature stencil and spray paint technique to create the lifelike figures and convey the theme of switched roles and irony regarding the conflict.
This document is a collage of pictures and headlines showing the consequences of various conflicts around the world. The first set shows pictures related to the conflict in Libya involving Gaddafi and his government. The second set shows people protesting the Keystone XL oil pipeline in the US. The third set depicts terrorist attacks including 9/11 and the Mumbai attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The overall theme is that conflicts, regardless of size or type, can have horrific and dreadful consequences, including political unrest, protests, revolution, and loss of life from terrorist attacks.
The student letter proposes installing additional hygiene features throughout Beijing BISS International School to improve cleanliness. It requests installing 20 hand sanitizers around campus and providing extra supplies in bathrooms like deodorant, air fresheners, antibacterial soap, and paper towels. The students believe these changes would boost hygiene, create a better impression, and benefit the school community by reducing disease transmission. Fulfilling the proposal would require approval from administrators and facility staff, budgeting funds, and purchasing supplies from vendors.

into pages, automatically adjusting to the size of any screen....
Research:
What?
An electronic book is an electronic version of hard copy books, it can be downloaded or bought (legally)
over the internet. An ebook can be read on the computer, smartphones (proper app needed) and any other
device, that is able to verify the ebooks.
Who?
Anyone can use ebook, recently many libraries have been installing ebooks.
Where?
The ebooks havent been used universally, but many countries like Australia have been adapting the
ebook.
Cost?
It costs a lot for a ebook reader. "There have been protests on Amazon due to the cost of the ebook
reader."
Advantages
There are over 2 million free books available since August 2009.
Now ebooks are available on mobiles or any other devices that support the format or the file.
Comparing the space a book takes, an e-reader can take up to thousands of book and still have enough
space to take more ebooks but its limited by its capacity.
Ebook websites are able to translate the ebooks into many different languages while a books need to be
translated, then published which would take more than a year or so.
Depending on the device, the ebook can be read in low light or total darkness, but books need proper

lighting.
The size of the text on the ebook can be changed to a reader's preference.
E-books have the capability to use the Text-to-speech software, where the reader can listen to the text
instead of reading it (Depending on the device, if available)
E-books are cheaper than ordinary paper book.
Ebook can be purchased, downloaded or bought in one place, but to borrow a book it takes a while to
get/find the library then borrow or buy it.
Production of an ebook does not need ink, paper etc.
Disadvantages
The longivity of a ebook.
Not all books are formed into an ebook.
You need a suitable device to load your ebook on.
Because of some formatting it might not usable on some devices.
Issues- social and ethical
Illegal downloading
If ebook is damaged, stolen it might have to be repurchased again.
The notions of privacy, private writing, solitude, and personal reading are changing.
What is the technology? (Explain)
This technology is a book in a digital form that is readable on digital devices that is able to support
e-reading format. These ebooks can also be born digital instead of being transferred to digital devices.
eBook allows the reader to be able to get most of book of their preference instantly instead of driving,
walking or find the nearest library. But to be abe to read ebooks, you need to have a digital device (that
supports the format) and/or an ereader.
How does it work?
Basically all that needs to be done to get ebooks are to find a suitable site which is authorized and
copyright protected.
These sites are both authorized and copyright protected:
Project Gutenberg
Amazon
eBooks.com
Penguin
Basically, all eBooks work the same. You go to an Internet-based bookseller, order a book,
download it into your "reader" whatever it might be, and enjoy reading.
How is it/will it affect our Personal Lives?
eBooks provide an alternate reading choice for lovers of technology. eBooks offers a new
dimension to the written word, allowing books to be distributed so much more easily. eBooks
are ordered online and delivered electronically to your computer. You save money with no
shipping and the lowest prices. Instead of spending most of your time searching for libraries and
getting a library card, the easiest way is to search online for a book and download it and voila there is
your book soft copy.
How is it/will it affect our School/Learning?
In years to come, a child will have just one e-reader to carry to school where all the text books they need
are stored within that one unit. No more backpacks to be hoisted/luged around, or to be left anywhere or
even lost somewhere between school and home. Instead of having a huge Biology book to lug around,
eBook would be able to carry your 300 pages book weightlessly. It can also be heard instead of reading
by own self.

Horizon 2011
How is it/will it affect our Work Lives?
It would be much easier to carry any sort of books around, just with on device that contains every book
you need. Just need to find the book and start flipping the pages. Also instead of buying it and then
paying extra for the shipping, its just so much easier when you can just buy it online and no extra charges.
As well as audio, you can hear it too.
