To-Do - Preparation

EDC Role Play

The purpose of this assignment is to prepare you for the EDC role playing session on Weds, Oct 20.

Please review the Roles that have been developed for the role play. see EDC Roles

You should carefully review the role you select and reflect upon how that person's life situation would affect their use of public transportation. The role-play exercise will entail redesign of a bus route and you will need to behave as though you were the member of the community represented by your role.

Feel free to expand on the role and make it as personally meaningful to you as possible. In reflecting on your role, you should develop at least one issue that you believe your persona would raise in the course of the community bus route design meeting.

The agenda for the meeting is at: http://swiki.cs.colorado.edu/Reflection/55.

To-Do

Note: This assignment does not require a write-up, per se. However, you should select the role you would like to play and "register" that preference by creating a page below. (Multiple people will end up with the same role and we will share those roles, perhaps by taking turns participating and observing.

You should also fill out the questionnaire on the response page to help you reflect upon your perspectives before the meeting.

The questions on the questionnaire are:

1. On a scale of 1 to 5, where "1" is the least important and "5" most important; please rate the following design concerns in establishing a bus route: Noise, Safety, Privacy, Cost, Efficiency (e.g., time), and Accessibility.
2. On a scale of 1 to 5, where "1" is the least important and "5" most important; please rate the following design concerns in establishing a bus stop: Noise, Safety, Privacy, Cost, Efficiency (e.g., time), Accessibility
3. In your opinion, defining a bus route within a neighborhood and identifying the various bus stops along the route is better achieved by: "Planning Experts" or "Informed Participation" from the neighbors. Please give one or two reasons for your answer:
