Topic outline
-
Our split will be having its lectures and weekly group tutoring meetings here: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/67936150621
-
The weekly schedule has the following logic:
- Week 1 (User research): Observation and analysis of people's co-located interactions in a selected everyday setting.
- Week 2 (Google Design Sprint): Day-by-day refining of user research observations to a concept of an interactive product, and its rapid user evaluation.
- Week 3 (Interaction prototyping pt. 1): Development of the product concept towards an interactive prototype, sketched as two competing design alternatives.
- Week 4 (Interaction prototyping pt. 2): Detailed design of the two design alternatives into prototypes that can be compared in a small scale A/B testing. Beginning of the preparations for user evaluation.
- Week 5 (User evaluation): Evaluation of the two alternative designs against each other with user tests.
- Week 6 (Wrapping up): Fine-tuning of the winning desing and preparing a reflective report about the project.
Each week follows roughly the following schedule:
- Monday will be lecture-focused. It provides the necessary starting points for the week's activities and also small in-class exercises.
- Tuesday to Friday morning involves group work. There will be a 30-minute group tutoring session each week with Antti with every group.
- Friday afternoons are reserved for short group presentations, joint discussion and reflection
Week 2 is an exception: it requires participation at 9:00-10:00 on Monday (for the sprint kickoff), and 9:15-9:30 on every morning from Tuesday to Friday (when there is a designated task for each day), following Google's Design Sprint:
Google has also published a book about Design Sprint (Knapp et al. 2016: Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days).
