Comment on Yes/no questions: dropdown, radio buttons or checkbox? by Chris

This article is from 2008 – 1 year after the iPhone was first launched so touch interfaces are not mentioned. For touch interfaces I would use the binary on/off control switch pattern featured on the iPhone OS. Android uses the method you describe above but I prefer the Apple approach both for visibility and ease of use. If you view this site on an iPhone or Android device you will see a toggle switch at the foot of the page for choosing between desktop and mobile view.

For mobile touch devices I think drop-down menus are better because it can use the native menu system and then use the native next button to move to the next field. The option text need be short.

Great write up Chris, I think everyone had their favorite day on this one, which only shows the dept and breadth of the course AP delivered. Rather sad that “positive cats” didn’t warrant a mention though.

Good overview of the week, Chris. I also found UXI really good, and have already started making use of what I learnt around Research and IA. I’ll write something up myself soon when I have time. Thanks for sharing!
