Creating your Project Report

Hi everyone,

Each group has 2 tasks as part of this project:

1. Design and create an intergenerational application (for a tablet device or phone).
2. Create a project report that is basically a record of all the work you have done as part of the process of designing and creating the app. This will be a collaborative effort amongst your group - you will create a shared document on Google Drive and everyone in the group can work on the report.

This blog post highlights the structure your report should have. Before the next workshop in March, you should be able to have content for the first 6 sections of the report.

Please make it very visual by including photos etc. of any images you have drawn or sketched out.

The structure should be:

Section 1: Introduction

Provide the name of your group, the name of your app and it's primary purpose.

Section 2: Background research

Describe some of the research you did in the first and second workshops. How many app ideas did you come up with? How did you narrow this down to 3? What other similar apps in the area did you come across? How did you identify a gap in the app market?

Section 3: The App Users

Who are the main users of your app? How is it intergenerational? Make sure you highlight the benefit for both younger and older users alike.

Section 4: App Detail

Here you will have 3 'subsections'.

4.1 will describe the functionality of your application.

4.2 will describe the content of your application.

4.3 will describe the scenarios you created. Remember to put in pictures of all the excellent picture and characters you created.

Section 5: Information Architecture

Describe here the layout of your app - i.e. the 'tree-like' structure of it.

Section 6: Interface Design

Describe here your application's interfaces (as you sketched out on the iPad paper). It would be nice to have a photo of each interface along with a short description of what happens on each particular screen.

Section 7: Usability

Describe how you are ensuring your app is easy to use for both younger and older users. You can build on this section as we get further with the workshops and as you begin to test it out with real users.

Section8: Project Experiences

Here it would be good if each team member could write a couple of lines on their experience of taking part in the project.
