Learning Goals for this assignment (competencies)
Submission requirements for this assignment
- Your lo-fi summary
- Your requirements document (which must be accessible)
- Your slide deck (Be prepared to present the slides (by sharing your screen) during class)
- Your contribution statement (same as Client Engagement Spec). Please note that we will not grade submissions where this statement is missing.
Client Testing
Your client meeting should be a wizard of oz test of your lo-fi prototype
- Based on your client engagement, reflect on the questions provided in the Design/Disability Justice rubric.
- In addition, work as a group to identify design challenges and opportunities that you might be able to build on for the rest of the quarter.
Develop a requirements document to be shared with your mentor
(Accessibility of the document will be assessed on Accessible Communication)
Your proposed design will need to have at least one fully implemented component, however any physical parts and/or sensing components can be simulated as part of your design vision.
1. Overall Goals and Requirements
(Will assessed Inclusive Person Centered Design)
Identify the requirements for the project. What will your final prototype have to fulfill and be able to do? What user interactions will it have to support? What data from your first two client encounters guided these decisions?
2. Storyboard
Use images of your lo-fi prototype or sketches to outline a storyboard of the complete experience of using your system, from the first approach to the system, to walking away from it. Make sure it creates a cohesive experience and that each step is connected to a functionality need. Create 2 or 3 storyboard flows that show different ways of interacting with your interface (e.g. groups of people vs one person; different task flows; different goals; etc.).
3. Architectural design document
Identify the different subsystems and components of your project, how and when they will need to interact. You should include a figure (diagram) showing how the different systems and components are connected and how they interact and exchange data. Add a list of all the components required for each subsystem. Please also describe the figure in one paragraph.
4. Design/Disability Justice analysis
(* Will be assessed on - Design/Disability Justice*)
Answer the following questions about your design
- Is it being used to give control and improve agency to the intended clients?
- How might this project perpetuate harm against those with marginalized racial or disability identities?
- Is it prioritizing the design’s impact on the client community over the intentions of the designer?
- Is it engaging with all aspects of particpants’ identities, rather than oversimplifying by erasing part of who they are?
- Is it addressing the whole community (intersectionality, multiple disabled people, multiply disabled people)
- How might this project balance what you gain by learning from clients by giving knowledge, tools, or other results back to the client community?
- Does this project honor and uplift existing client community knowledge and practices?
Presentation
(Graded on Accessible Communication)
Create a presentation that covers the following topics:
- Overall goal of your design (1 slide)
- Highlights of your lo-fi prototype (1 slide)
- Key requirements from your lo-fi test (1 slide)
- Proposed storyboard
- One thing you would like feedback on
Since this presentation will be shared with clients, and presented accessibly
