Evaluate with user feedback: papers and boards
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can gather user feedback to evaluate my manufactured prototype.
Key learning points
- Designers gather user feedback to iterate prototypes.
- Designers analyse the user feedback to iterate prototypes.
Keywords
Iterate - process of refining and improving a design
Evaluation - checking how good something is and how to make it better
Analysis - examining something in detail
Common misconception
Once a final product is complete no further iterations or improvements are needed.
Designers constantly seek to improve and develop their designs and products. No product is ever perfect.
Teacher tip
Designers constantly seek to develop their designs and products, no matter what stage of the design process they are in. Gathering feedback at all stages of the iteratve process will help to develop skills for the NEA.
