Project 1: An Interactive, Freeform Board

When planning and developing projects, it is often necessary to brainstorm and conceptualise ideas across multiple locations. You will create an application to allow us to share free-form content in a whiteboard format, with multiple users able to update the board simultaneously. This should be available on both desktops and mobile devices. The key challenge will be ensuring that updates from multiple users are handled elegantly. Additions and edits may want to be displayed differently. These problems should be carefully considered with attention given to the user experience.

Project 2: Audio Websites on Smartphones

Mobile phones have revolutionised the developing world making information easily available to those even in the most remote parts of the world. However, the smartphone has yet to make a big impact there. This may be due to users having limited technical or even literacy skills. You will create an app which people can use on their smartphones to create audio websites, for example to advertise their agricultural products. This will allow others in similar geographical locations to make contact and perhaps even purchase directly from the seller using audio as well.
