Last revised date: 5/6/2026

Overview

Create an accessible interactive prototype

Assignment Details

Make your prototype

Produce a prototype that allows you to experiment with clients on at least one of your planned tasks. Your prototype must be accessible to your clients, and this may impact your prototyping strategy. This will be assessed by peers.

Write about your Prototype

Write an update on your interactive prototype that does not exceed 500 words.

Author this assignment in the Drive folder corresponding to your project group.

  • Create a subfolder called “Interactive Prototype”, keep all documents in this folder.
  • Include images where helpful to illustrate your prototype.

Include the following sections:

  • Describe the tasks currently implemented in your interactive prototype. Limit this to a single sentence per implemented task. These sentences may be taken from the design status report, but you should ensure they reflect what is actually implemented in your interactive prototype. Be sure implemented tasks include screen captures, updated from prior sketches.
  • Summarize the most important changes or new details in your design, as developed through your design and implementation efforts in your interactive prototype. This must not exceed 150 words.
  • Describe one thing you learned or insight you gained through progress in design and development of your prototype. We are open to a wide range of learning as part of this assignment, including but not limited to learning about designing with and around AI, your chosen interface framework, your chosen AI tool, or their integration in your prototype.

Make a video demonstrating your Prototype

Make a video demonstrating key functionality of your interactive prototype. This must not exceed 3 minutes in length per demonstrated task. Include narration explaining how the task is supported in the prototype.

Commit your prototype to gitlab

  • Ensure the full code of your interactive prototype is committed to your GitLab project.
  • Include a brief README.md that details how to build and run your prototype.
  • You may choose to omit an API key needed to run your prototype. If so, clearly document such additional necessary configuration in the README.
  • Be responsive to any questions from the course staff regarding your prototype.

Handin

  • Submit a link to your written report
  • Submit your video

Team Contribution & AI use Statement

Submit a contribution statement and AI use along with each group submission (for all graded team assignments!). Include this contribution statement as an additional part of your submission, along with the names of your group members. Please note that we will not grade submissions where this statement is missing.
