DUE:   21 Sept 2011 (11:59 pm)


General Task:

Working in teams of two, create a list of interface issues that you recognized while watching the video clip about Three Mile Island. Be specific in identifying the scenario: When did it occur? What was wrong with the interface design? What were the consequences at TMI? Give some suggestions for improvements. Can you imagine a similar interface design flaw occurring today, perhaps in some other (not necessarily involving a reactor panel, or causing similarly grave) context?
