Week 7:
GOOD UX: Strava is a great community based running app that a friend referred me to. It is meant for running and exercising, but works much like Instagram and Facebook. You runs and accomplishments can be public and your friends can give you kudos. These really act as encouragements to want to show-off, which is great to reinforce good health habits.
BAD UX: Blackboard
I'm sorry, but it was the app that I was just struggling with. Here are my pain points with Blackboard:

BAD UX: Blackboard
I'm sorry, but it was the app that I was just struggling with. Here are my pain points with Blackboard:
- The course information, assignment information, and assignment submission are all in different locations
- For the most part, assignments in the Discussion board are only named 4.1, etc. with no description. I can't count the number of times that I've gone into submit an assignment, but it is unclear, therefore I need to navigate back out, hunt down the Week 4 page, and then go back into submit. This causes confusion and wastes a lot of time.
- Especially when commenting, it is really tough to navigate back to the thread. I bet 50% of the time, I comment and hit the back button, where it takes me back out to all of my courses.
- Too much information. It is much like Word, there isn't enough clear space and hierarchy for easy navigation.
