Milestone 2 : Responding to Feedback, Design Revisions, Low- Medium Fidelity Prototyping, Cognitive Walkthroughs
For this milestone your team will review feedback from peers and TAs, and
- Reflect on feedback, review shared user research, propose revisions (15 marks)
- Create a low-fidelity prototype and evaluate it using your scenarios (20 marks)
- Create a medium-fidelity prototype (30 marks)
- Using your medium-fidelity prototype,
o conduct in-context evaluations (Assignment 3)
o conduct cognitive walkthroughs with your peers ( 15 marks)
o make revisions based on these evaluations (20 marks)
Week 1 : Revise Your Design
1. Reflect on Feedback:
- Consider the design feedback and comments given for your project in the scenario- based walkthrough lab session. In a short (~1 page) document, list any design issues raised or suggestions/feedback given and any ideas of how you might address issues (it is OK if you don’t have ideas for all of these yet).
- Based on the feedback, identify aspects of your problem that you need to understand a bit better.
2. Review User research:
- Review existing research: is there detail in any of the resources you have already found that could be helpful in addressing the feedback and comments?
- Review research summaries from other teams : find new resources that enhance your understanding of your problem, by reviewing the summary documents of teams working on the same project topic (these will be posted on MS Teams: details will be provided about how to share yours and where to find these resources).
- Create a document (~1 page) that identifies the aspects of your problem that you studied in more detail and the information resources that were helpful, and explains why the resources were helpful. Include a direct link to each resource or a description of how to access it if a direct link is not possible.
- Note: you may choose to update your personas, tasks, and scenarios at this point to reflect new understanding, but such changes are not a requirement for your Milestone 2 submission.
3. Vertical, Low-fidelity mockup
- Create a vertical, lo-fi prototype using paper (and related materials) and/or Wizard of Oz
- Ensure that the prototype allows you to walk through one of your main (not extreme) scenarios. Walk through the scenario with the mockup as a group, and make refinements if appropriate.
- Make a short video showing the mockup in use for the chosen scenario.
- Create a folder or archive with photographs of all materials used in your low-fidelity prototype, or description of your process if a photograph isn’t appropriate, and include this in your submission.
- Summarize any design decisions or changes present in this mockup in a short (~1 page) document.
Week 2 : Medium-fidelity prototype
1. Medium-fidelity mockup
- Create a medium-fidelity prototype using the prototyping tools covered in class, Wizard of Oz, and/or functional approximations for an experience prototype (be creative!)
- Ensure that the prototype allows someone other than you (i.e. not a designer) to walk through all scenarios (possibly with designer assistance, especially in the case of a WoZ prototype).
- Save this version of your med-fidelity prototype in a folder* and include as part of your submission.
- Include a (~1 page) document describing how your prototype incorporates the design decisions made in week 1.
2. In-context evaluation
- Details to be provided in Assignment 3.
- Meet as a group to discuss the outcomes of the in-context evaluations that each of you conducted for Assignment 3.
* in an appropriate format (wireframes, any WoZ source code, written description of how mocked-up features were achieved, links to 3rd party apps, etc.)
Week 3: Evaluate and revise medium-fidelity prototype.
1. Cognitive Walkthrough
- (in lab) use your medium fidelity prototype to conduct a cognitive walkthrough with peers on another project team.
- Format and procedural details to follow in class.
- Include the documents generated in the cognitive walkthrough in your milestone submission.
2. Medium-fidelity mockup revisions
- Make revisions determined through the cognitive walkthrough session.
- Incorporate revisions that address design issues uncovered in Assignment 3.
- Walk through scenarios again and make tweaks to the design as necessary.
- Write a short (~1 page) document summarizing your revisions.
- Save this version of your med-fidelity prototype in a folder* and include as part of your submission.
* in an appropriate format (wireframes, any WoZ source code, written description of how mocked-up features were achieved, links to 3rd party apps, etc.)
