Written on 03.02.2025 14:19 by Marie Mühlhaus
Dear students,
To participate in the design competition, please send an email to hci (at) cs.uni-saarland.de with the subject line: [DESIGN COMPETITION] <Your Group Number>
Your submission must be sent by February 21st, 23:59, and should include the following:
- Group Information: This includes the group number and the full names of all participating group members.
- Prototype Introduction (PDF – max. 1 page): Introduce your prototype, its core features in supporting students with their exam preparation, and highlight what sets it apart from existing platforms (e.g., Anki). You can think of the document as a sales pitch. Please note that the document should be written clearly and concisely, and that it must not exceed one page. You may reuse text from your project assignments if you like.
- Prototype Submission: Provide a link to your web-based prototype (e.g., Figma, ...). Alternatively, attach a .zip file containing all necessary HTML files. If submitting a .zip file, include a README.txt with relevant usage instructions.
After the submission deadline, a jury will review all submissions based on creativity, originality, rigor, and relevance & fit with the client’s needs. The finalist(s) will be invited to a personal meeting with the client to present and discuss their ideas. The time of the meeting will be arranged on an individual basis. As part of the competition, the finalist(s) will further receive detailed feedback and a certificate acknowledging their success in the UI design competition.
We are excited to see your amazing prototypes!
Best of luck,
Marie
PS: Please note that this is independent of your course grade and participation is fully voluntary.
