CNETID1 CNETID2 Mythical User
The purpose of this exercise is to define what kind of user you are
trying to reach in your educational game. You are required to define
a user that is different from yourself in substantive ways -
different age, different cultural background, different experiences.
In addition, the user needs to be less skilled than you at
something that influences your design of the game. You cannot choose
someone who already has their undergraduate degree and is more tech savvy
than you are, with more devices than you do.
As you are designing your game, you will keep in mind not only what
you would enjoy in your game, but also what this particular
mythical person would enjoy in your game and what changes you need
to make to simplify appropriate aspects of the game.
Fill in any of the fields below that define your mythical user. You
may feel free to add fields at the end if other defining characteristics
may influence the user's experience of your game.
Keep in all the html. Make a design directory of your repository. Place this
html file in that directory. Fill in your CNETID above. You and your partner
do not need to both submit - just put both your CNETIDs.
