[Yr11 Information Technology] Teensy weensy interfaces - U1O3 next year

[Mark]

Here's an interesting challenge for the young folk learning about interface
design for small devices. It relates to U1O3KK10 for next year:
"characteristics of effective user interfaces for mobile devices..."

The smartwatch is a recent development that raises very interesting
questions about interface constraints. For example...

If you need some quiet time one day in unit 1, get your kids to design a
smartwatch interface that gives maximum information, readability and
accessibility in a space of only about 3.5cm diameter.

​That might keep them quiet for a while.​
