Flow Charts

I did not have an amazon.com account before this flow chart, so the only way to complete the assignment was to make one. It was interesting to be experiencing the book buying process online for the first time by creating a flow chart. It was not easy and took a couple renditions. The search box is the most comprehensible tool of any website, which is why I chose it as for the main processes. The subsystems I created with my decision diamonds ensure that the viewer has an amazon account, and that they are able to search for any book or a specific text. The flow chart also walks the viewer through the technical elements of the check out process.

I miss-read the cognitive load/dual coding flow chart assignment. Instead of creating a flow chart for either google scholar or bing and cognitive load or dual coding, I created a flow chart combining all of the options. In order to create a process icon by which the viewer understood to search more than piece of information I inserted a data icon which is represented by a parallelogram. The subsystems in the flow chart are created by two decision icons. The first guarantees a suitable collection of documents returned from a search. The other subsystem allows the viewer to read documents from the suitable search return, but only bookmark the ones which are suitably revenant to the topic. A larger subsystem allows this entire process to continue so that multiple research documents can be gathered.
