Evaluation Learning Outcomes

A quick recap of yesterdays process:

After some initial brainstorming on new ideas. We proceeded to evaluate all our ideas by analyzing them individually.

We set up a value system whereby all the ideas were judged in terms of :

  1. Originality.
  2. Complexity of production.
  3. Concordance with team vision (local-traveler cultural exchange).
  4. Major problems.
  • Initial evaluation resulted in 8 ideas. We found that some of the concepts were functions that could be added to other main ideas.
  • The final evaluation resulted in 5 ideas. This was achieved by applying the value system mentioned and systematically voting individual ideas in relation to the values.

The next phase is concept testing/research which involves making short scenarios and conducting recorded interviews with the target audience. June is encharged of leading this phase.

Once again, solid work form every body!
