First Assessment

In this assessment, each team needs to submit the work done so far, including:

  • hunt statement

  • research plan

  • data analysis & data synthesis (personas, scenarios, CI models) 

  • ideation (highlighting how they are designed around user?s needs and expectations discovered during the research process)

  • one/two ideas that they will bringing forward to the next stages of the process (including storyboards detailing your persona engaging with the solutions)

  • other components that the team find relevant to the presentation of their work.

CCU is designed to mimic a real work experience with clients. As such, your deliverables (and their visual quality) should reflect this. Please visit https://dribbble.com/tags/app_presentation for examples. 


Submission

Deliverables for this assessment should be submitted by Sunday, 11th December, 23:59, by emailing or discord messaging the instructor responsible for submissions (Paulo Bala). The submission should include an identification of the team, and: 

  • A recorded video (maximum 6 minutes) with a self-explanatory slide presentation (detailing the elements of the work done so far).

    • The video should be submitted as a downloadable public link (e.g., google drive link, direct download link, etc.).

    • Please compress your video to a reasonable size (e.g., using Handbrake https://handbrake.fr/). There is no reason why a 6 min video would be 1GB. 

    • The video can also be present in the team website but we will be evaluating the one sent prior to the submission deadline.

    • Please name the file according to your team id (e.g., "team1_video.mp4") 

    • Consult the following links for advice or tips for recording presentation videos. Subtitles for accessibility are not necessary as long as your audio is clear.

  • The slide presentation deck (pdf or powerpoint)

    • The slide presentation deck should be submitted as a downloadable public link or on the team website.

    • Please name the file according to your team id (e.g., "team3_slides.pdf") 

  • Link to the team website

  • Supplementary material on the website that includes data produced in the research process.

  • Assessment will be based primarily on the recorded video; supplementary material may be consulted by the instructors if there are doubts about the quality of your process.
