Design ExerciseCPSC 581 - Fall 2015
Today’s Exercise
I needed a design exercise suitable for a 75 minute class today.
David tells me that maybe the CPSC 581 participation tracking board can be improved.
let’s put design thinking to work!
Ready?
Requirements
Encourage all students in CPSC 581 to contribute and participate.
Identify and acknowledge student contributions, which ultimately determines the participation mark.
Design Teams
4 groups
Empathize
The needs of the student:
What would encourage your classmate to participate more?
What may be impeding him/her from contributing?
5 minutes
Empathize
The needs of the instructor:
Put yourself into our shoes now.
What do the instructors need the system or process to do for them?
4 minutes
Define
Collect your notes and formulate a concise problem statement for what you need to design.
3 minutes
Define
Compare and discuss problem statements within your team.
Try to reach consensus on a single, best statement of your design goal.
5 minutes
Ideate
Sketch as many ideas as you can!
Focus on just the concepts now, practical or impractical, realistic or not, anything goes…
5 minutes
Ideate
As a group, identify some of your most promising ideas.
Do this in pairs, round robin, turns, democracy, or any way that works.
8 minutes
Ideate
Explore your best ideas by sketching.
Start to think about implementation or realization details of the ideas, sketching alternatives or variations.
4 minutes
Ideate
Select your group’s one best design.
Prepare to present this design, refining your sketches as needed.
4 minutes
Convergence
Let’s have one designee from each team present their design!
Other teams can critique and we’ll have one final round of refinements
4 minutes each
Convergence
As a team, decide if and how you can incorporate feedback.
Make a sketch of your final design that best solves our problem.
4 minutes
Test
It’s time for us as a design team to render a final decision.
Hopefully it’s something we can put to the test right away!
Project Zero
Remember to prepare a demo of your button prototype for Friday.
You’ll have 6 minutes to show off your prototype!
