Module Synopsis

This is a multidisciplinary collaborative learning module that prepares students to produce industry standard pre-production documents and artefacts in compliance with the creative media industry’s production processes. The submission would be a complete project proposal and a proof-of-concept prototype that positions the creative solution as a unique industry relevant proposition. 

Students are required to collaborate with other classes from dissimilar core disciplines as mixed groups to design a solution for a related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) problem that involves 4IR technologies such as 3D printing, Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality, collaborative telepresence, Internet of Things (IOT), mobile internet, simulation and smart clothing. 

The mixed student groups are to work cohesively and independently in a studio environment in identifying, analyzing and applying acquired knowledge to formalize the design solution. As part of the assignments, students are coached to pitch their ideas to potential funders (if apply), clients and peers while independently lead and manage the project for the semester’s duration. 

Formative assessments will be conducted throughout the project development and management process, while the summative assessment evaluates the final presentation and the submission of the prototype design artefact. The class will be delivered with blended learning materials such as tutorial videos, case study web repositories and videos of expert presentations. 

These references facilitate the flipped delivery in complementing the face-to-face consultation sessions, which are documented and managed online. At the end of this module, students will have completed the target audiences’ needs analysis, creative ideation, and proof of-concept prototype production that will be presented to industry reviewers.

Week 2 Progression

Consultation Notes: 

  • Ensure that the competitors we were looking at were competitors of the X-board

  • Some of our interview questions were a bit hard to understand, maybe we could try to rephrase them.

  • Be confident when asking the questions.


Next Course of Action:

  1. our current interview questions

  2. Summarize the data gathered from our contextual research to oneRefine  side.

Week 3 Progression

Consultation Notes: 

  • Some of your current survey questions are hard to understand, maybe try rephrasing them.

  • Your user personas need some refining, ensure that the persona doesn't just capture the interest of one group of people, but the whole general group (for example, if user persona is a corporate decision maker then their interest won't align with normal office workers anymore, keep it general)


Next Course of Action:

  1. Set up a meeting so we can further refine our survey questions

  2. Put the refined questions into an online survey form and start sending it out after approval from Mike.

  3. Refine out existing user personas.










Week 4 Progression

Consultation Notes: 

  • You can be creative about how you are going to collect your survey responses. For example, you can create a chart and ask each member to collect 3 responses from each of your target audience. Let's say you have 6 members and 4 target audiences, 3 x 4 x 6 =72 responses.


Next Course of Action:

  1. Finish up our data collection (survey to be closed when we hit our target of 80 responses).

  2. Start with our survey data analysis.










Week 5 Progression

Consultation Notes: 

  • Your data analysis is hard to understand, but it seems that you need to follow up with some of them. For example, you mentioned that respondents preferred to have accessibility when buying the X-board, but what does this refer to? Accessible location? Product? Website?

  • Additionally, it seems that you did not clarify what is your target audience's preferred price range for the X-board, please follow up on that.


Next Course of Action:

  1. Start coming up with a comprehensive list of interview questions.

  2. Assign someone to carry out the interviews.

  3. Analyse the interview data.

  4. Update the user personas based on the data collected
