1. Use probes, contextual inquiry, or brainstorming to find out about the

problems your team and your close circle (friends, roommates (if applicable),

family members (if applicable), … ) have with coming back to campus. This can

be in the context of:

Commuting

Health and safety

Wellness

Time management

Food and diet

Other opportunities or problems…

Pay attention that the focus should be on the concerns that students have from going

back to the in-person form of study.

2. Document the outcome of your sessions. Through scripting or taking note of the

sessions, taking pictures of the boards of ideas, etc.

3. What are the problems or opportunities for design? What needs to be fixed? What

can be enhanced? What are the needs that cannot be addressed using the

current interactive systems. Try to find commonalities in the data you collect.

Use the techniques and suggestions explained in the book for brainstorming or

contextual inquiry and document your steps and findings.

User profiles and Personas

Based on the patterns you find in the data, develop at least two user profiles.

Develop a persona for each of these profiles with a scenario capturing how the user

is expected to interact with the product.

Establishing requirements

We will use the Volere Requirements Specification Template to structure the design

brief in this assignment. This should include a sub-section for each of Functional

and Non-Functional Requirements. The Non-Functional Requirements section should

contain sub-sub-sections for each of the following:

Look and Feel Requirements

Usability and Humanity Requirements

Performance Requirements

Operational and Environmental Requirements

Maintainability and Support Requirements

Security Requirements

Cultural and Political Requirements

Legal Requirements

Locate an on-line source of information about the Volere Requirements Specification

Template. Obtain further information about each of these. Remember: the requirements

should not be so specific as to determine the design of the interactive system. They

should provide the criteria which determine whether a particular design can be

considered or not. Many different potential designs can meet the requirements.

Use cases

Identify at least two use cases of the system. Associate the use cases with one of the

roles in the system. You are free to use any of the use case styles introduced in the

book or class.

Submission

The written report for this assignment will contain:

An explanation of the technique used to gather data from users (alongside some

exemplary pictures or notes documented), patterns found, …

Two user profiles

A persona for each user profile with a scenario capturing user interaction
