We ended last week with a new goal for the upcoming Friday: a first ‘prototype’. There were no strict restrictions attached to the format of this prototype. Looking to the process, we could say we were still in the process of clarifying the problem situation, so a real ‘touchable’ prototype was no option.
However, we gathered already a lot of information about the project but we may need some extra structure in this information to get a better overview. Thereby, our knowledge of Google Analytics, the main tool in the project, was near beginner. These two problems were big enough to manage in one week and could be formed into a realistic goal for the end of the week.
We decided to use the briefing and the input of Stefania as a starting point. During the week we split up the two main tasks into subtasks:
– Playing around with GA to get a better understanding of the tool.
– Trying to understand the data of UNSPEAK in GA.
– Trying out some correlations with the Query tool.
– Comparing the interface of UNSPEAK with the possibilities of GA.
The outcomes of this research should give us a better overview of the project and process. So we decided to deliver a structured ‘schedule’ as a first prototype.
Thursday morning we got a workshop in visual thinking by Miren Ferdandez. During this workshop we worked on some basic skills in illustrating that could help us in visualizing concepts during our project.
