West, R.; Leary, H. (Ed.)While most instructional design courses and much of the instructional design industry focus on ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation,Evaluation), approaches such as design thinking, human-centered design, and agile methods like SAM (Successive Approximation Model), have drawn attention.This chapter unpacks what we know about design thinking and presents a concise history of design thinking to situate it within the broader design research fi eld. Itthen traces its emergence in other fi elds. The chapter considers lessons for instructional designers and concludes by setting an agenda to address issues forscholarship, teaching, and practice.more » « less

Interactive visualization interfaces enable users to efficiently explore, analyze, and make sense of their datasets. However, as data grows in size, it becomes increasingly challenging to build data interfaces that meet the interface designer’s desired latency expectations and resource constraints. Cloud DBMSs, while optimized for scalability, often fail to meet latency expectations, necessitating complex, bespoke query execution and optimization techniques for data interfaces. This involves manually navigating a huge optimization space that is sensitive to interface design and resource constraints, such as client vs server data and compute placement, choosing which computations are done offline vs online, and selecting from a large library of visualization-optimized data structures. This paper advocates for a Physical Visualization Design (PVD) tool that decouples interface design from system design to provide design independence. Given an interfaces underlying data flow, interactions with latency expectations, and resource constraints, PVD checks if the interface is feasible and, if so, proposes and instantiates a middleware architecture spanning the client, server, and cloud DBMS that meets the expectations. To this end, this paper presents Jade, the first prototype PVD tool that enables design independence. Jade proposes an intermediate representation called Diffplans to represent the data flows, develops cost estimation models that trade off between latency guarantees and plan feasibility, and implements an optimization framework to search for the middleware architecture that meets the guarantees. We evaluate Jade on six representative data interfaces as compared to Mosaic and Azure SQL database. We find Jade supports a wider range of interfaces, makes better use of available resources, and can meet a wider range of data, latency, and resource conditions.more » « less
