Week 8: Design Sprint

-
Experience Mapping exercise from the 'understand' phase. This has helped get a clearer contextual understanding of where the pain points are for teachers in relation to their experiences dealing with unengaged students. (I've only done one from this phase as I've already done many of the audience persona exercises throughout my research so far.)

Crazy Eight's rapid ideation exercise from the 'Sketch' phase. This was super interesting- although a little hard to get into at first- was great to have a bit of time pressure to brainstorm some visuals.

Solution Sketch exercise from the 'Sketch' phase. Although usually not the case, in this crazy eight's exercise I've decided that my initial idea is the best for now, so I've taken that through to a more detailed solution sketch in preparation for prototyping.

 Prototype Storyboard exercise from the 'Prototype' phase. This continued on from the previous sketch, and made me seperate my ideas in to 4 main points. This also helped me link the aims of this product to the features it will need.

The previous exercise sparked a conversation with a peer which ended up starting a new idea track for a solution. (Focusing on the learning styles issue, where I take a textbook/ class exercise and redesign it to cater for the 5 learning styles.) For the purpose of this design sprint exercise I'll continue with the other concept for the prototype testing, however I'll explore this new idea for my project further afterwards.

Engagement is an ambiguous term; poorly defined and difficult to measure. Engagement is not simply about good classroom behaviour or attendance, but a connection with learning. 2 The student who is quietly sitting at the back of the classroom not participating in discussions or completing their work is as disengaged as a child who i

**Week 13: Teacher Interview

-
I’m looking to design teacher resources that help the process of planning coursework. I want to improve student engagement by helping teachers provide more diverse and effectively planned coursework. Context Questions: How long have you been teaching? 2 years Details on school + level + courses teaching? High school visual design teacher, personal interest in level 1 (year 11) Does your school teach with NCEA? Yes, decile 2 school, so more funding and smaller classes, but much much harder students to work with. Are you aware of the current situation with the NCEA review? What’re you’re your experiences and opinions working with this system, are there any changes you believe need to be made?  What’s the process when it comes to teacher resources- are they provided by the school, or do you have to source them yourself (is there freedom) (is there support) Curriculum requirements are given with NCEA, however creative freedom for how you want to teach, and what you
