Iterative analysis phase 

Ideal outcome: In-depth analysis of the existing design

​

• Needs Assessment

  • Interview with stakeholders

  • Review existing curriculum

  • Self- assessment on current resources 

  • Conducting survey with the stakeholders and learners 

• Learner assessment 

  • Learner characteristics (prior knowledge, background)

  • Learner needs 

  • Creation of learner profiles

• Create goals and objective

  • Creating preliminary goals & objectives

  • Refine with more targeted goals and objectives by

    • iterating the process 

    • peer-reviewing with the class and stakeholders

​

Iterative design phase

Ideal outcome: Revamped prototype supported by theories

​

• Ideation

  • Brainstorm design decisions

    • Find ways to leverage current resources and content 

    • Identify additional tools that can support the new experience (short-form videos,  Slackbot reminders, new student slack channels, etc.)

  • Selecting possible media and technology​

• Design

  • Creating a logic model 

  • Connecting ideas to learning theory and strategies

• Prototyping

  • Design prototype

  • Test prototype 

  • Redesign prototype with iterations

 

Iterative evaluation phase

Ideal outcome: Well-designed product based on rapid iterations 

​

• Pilot group​

  • “Soft” launch

  • Close interaction with stakeholders

• Evaluation

  • Usability testing

  • Survey

  • Interview

  • Think-aloud protocol

• Revision​

  • Revise the design based on the data analysis 

  • Going back to the iterative design phase
