Design Notebooks

Let’s take a few minutes to review some of your Design Notebook entries for this week.

Project Pages

Let’s finish setting up your project pages and take a few minutes for you to post your project documents (User Personas, User Stories, Design Brief, Diagrams, etc).

• Get into your groups and make sure you have access to your team’s page on the blog.
• Edit your page, making sure all your team mates are listed and links to your project documents have been added to the page.
• Once you’ve posted all your documents, we’ll take turns testing each other’s prototypes.

User Testing Workshop

Let’s break up into our teams, and take turns reviewing each others projects.

• Review your User Stories with your team
• Pick the two highest priority User Stories from your list
• Match up those User Stories with their corresponding prototype implementations
• Have your testers try out your prototypes and then share with them the User Stories
• Ask the tester if the prototype fulfills the User Stories, how could it be improved?
• Be sure to take notes on the feedback you receive.

Assignment

User Feedback

• Create a new Google Spreadsheet called “User Feedback” and make a list of the suggestions and comments you received on your prototype during the User Testing Workshop.
• Review the list with your team mates and make a plan for how to revise your prototype based on this feedback.

Design Notebooks

• Each team member must submit their own Design Notebook entry
• Create a new slide in your Design Notebooks and label it “User Feedback” and today’s date.
• Summarize the feedback you received, and your plan for acting on it.

*Assignments are due before class begins on Thursdays. Be prepared to present your work in class for discussion.
