Module Content & Assessment
Indicative Content
Prototype
Build to think. A simple, cheap and fast way to shape ideas, so to experience and interact with them. Create an artefact in low resolution, a physical object or a digital clickable sketch. Create a scenario to test and role play in a physical environment and let users experience the solution.
Test
Analysis the feedback from the prototype(s). Learn about the user, reframe your view and refine your prototype. Listen and document the finding react and redesign accordingly.
