Class 05_Homework_February 6th

Hello all,
Next class we will critique your POVstatement. A mentioned in class, be sure that your group and group members have completed their interviews or it may be difficult to create a compelling POV. It is imperative that all group members contribute and complete their interviews to maximize the breath of information and diversity of experiences/perspectives/stories to draw upon and inform the next phase of design. (Per your assignment on Thursday, each group member should be a notetaker 2x and an interviewer 2x). If you have not finished your work, do so between now and Thursday. If you need to, re-creaft some of your statements and interview again. As you will discover, we will be asking for evidence of what you have been doing!
Good luck on your work.
Best,
Team IPC

Complete and scan your interviews
due Thursday, February 8th
Format: This will be a Digital PDF Submission in your group folder on the Google drive

As an individual, scan the interviews you were a scribe for and submit each digitally on the google drive before critique on Thursday. We will reference them when evaluating your performance as an individual in your group. To be clear, each team member should submit at least two interviews that you were a notetaker for. 

Steps:
  • Follow this link to "Group Submissions Folder" on our google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18gZ9jFqj12jJs2mBfURV3jVvSrBdj38k
  • Find your group folder. Inside this folder, create another folder called c05_a1 Intercept Interviews (note: only 1 team member will need to do this, it would be the first person to complete the assignment, most likely!) 
  • Name your scanned document as follows [scan all notes, but submit as one single file]: c05_a1_Lastname_Firstinitial.pdf
  • Make sure to create a multipage PDF 

c05_a2
Contstruct 3 potential POV's
due Thursday, February 8th
Format: This will be a Digital PDF Submission in your group folder on the Google drive

As a team, create at least 3 potential POV's to submit and discuss on Thursday. For each version, identify a primary user (or stakeholder), the primary need/wish/goal for your user, based on a unique perspective (or insight). Using these elements, construct a point of view statement (POV) using the template distributed in class for structure. 

If you are unsure how to begin, ask yourself: What are the needs & wishes (use verbs) and insights (make inferences from what you heard in interviews) from different stakeholders? Then pick and choose directions based on your collective team's interests.

Remember, that ultimately your final POV should be a reflection of all team members interests. Collaborations rarely work if team members can not find a shared vision / purpose / goals through compromise and negotiation. Make sure all have input in this final statement. Likewise, be sure that you do your part to participate and give input. In the end, if agreements are at a standstill by the end of next class, your group may need to be diplomatic and vote.

Steps:
  • Follow this link to "Group Submissions Folder" on our google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18gZ9jFqj12jJs2mBfURV3jVvSrBdj38k 
  • Find your group folder and create a new google document. 
  • A new document will appear (possibly in a new tab). Name your document c05_a2_Construct a POV and type your group's 3 statements in the body. 
  • If you refresh the root folder, you should see your new document.

Some details for working with a google document:

Once you have created your document, all team members can write and edit content at the same time, making this a very useful tool for collaborative writing. If multiple team members are in the document at the same time, you will see an icon pop up with their name (top right). You can even chat with people who are in the document at the same time if you want to ask each other questions (like an IM). Like many word processing systems, you can leave comments for each other to review. You can also change the editing mode (top right button / dropdown) to suggesting mode if you want your team members to see suggested edits (similar to track changes in word).
