“How can technology improve an online skill-building community

for creatives while also making learning more accessible?”

So, my revised question for my degree project is:


3/24

to create a personalized, online community

that promotes education between

professionals and students that also

allows for offline interaction.

Objective :

The main hub of this experience will be online, but being able to have physical groups in will help promote further interaction and allow for more in-depth critiques to

occur.


4/24

Goals : • simple system that allows for participatory learning

! create a simple system that allows for participatory learning

you can’t really learn in the creative field without valuable feedback


5/24

Goals :

• fully take advantage of technology being used

! fully take advantage of technology being used

a lot of the current education sites out there don’t come close to doing this


6/24

Goals :

• exciting classes to supplement a formal education

! ! the system will house exciting classes that supplement a formal education

This system is definitely not supposed to overtake or fill in for a normal education


7/24

audience :

Audience consists of 18-35 year olds.

The average age of college students is continuing to be pushed back, so it’s going to be important to make the interface simplified enough for really anyone to use it.


8/24

audience :

the average college student also owns about 7 tech devices as well, so the system will take advantage of this by living on multiple platforms.


9/24

context :

The first and main device will be a computer [CLICK]. This is where most of the people will be doing their work, so this can be where the more in-depth application

interactions can occur.


10/24

context :

The second will be the tablet [CLICK].

This will be the main mobile platform, allowing for major use of the front facing and back camera, which can really come in handy with online crits.


11/24

context :

The last will be a stripped down phone application [CLICK].

This will mostly just consist of checking your schedule and keeping track of assignments.


12/24

Proposal : create 3 different sets of 2 task scenarios each,

2 scenarios per device.

Basically, this system will be represented within my project by creating 3 di$erent sets of 2 task sceneries each, 2 scenarios per device. These will then be animated

and…


13/24

turned into an promotional / informal video for the application.

Each task scenario for each device will showcase how the user can access the education platform from anywhere, at varying degrees of depth.


14/24

Research • doing overall research over the education system

just seeing where we stand as well as why education is so expensive and how technology can help with certain aspects


15/24

Research

• competitor audits

tearing apart sites o$ering similar services. seeing how they work, what they o$er, and how they go about doing so.


16/24

my inspiration is really competitor sites like Skillshare, which are driving me to make a better product.


17/24

and sites like Soundwave and…


18/24

The Medium that have inline comment systems.
