Design Brief - Documentation
This is done by arranging weekly meetups outside of the labs and classes to co-ordinate effort into writing the design brief. Weeks 2, 3 were dedicated towards the Design Brief Audit and weeks 5,6,7 were dedicated towards stage one of the Design Brief. We have consistently arranged to work on our assignments together whilst ensuring that the regular communication is kept.
Labs
Our laboratory activities are conducted as a team where we discuss solutions to arrive at answers for our lab work. So far Weeks 2 - 12 have been completed.
Reflection:
Although struggles were met mainly with arranging co-ordination with the team, this team that I have worked with has worked very well and made commitments over their other commitments enabling the team to meet deadlines for projects. This is one of the first instances where I have been tasked as a team leader. Struggles were met, but I believe my own personal development was achieved through these struggles.
What I have gained from the course has been very useful and insightful. I believe it will be a big foundation of my future consideration towards development and design of applications. In particular, the HCI theories, design tools, concept of usability and accessibility are vital and useful concepts that I have learned in this course. In future, I am confident that I will rollback towards the concepts and topics that were covered in this course.
