We were shown an inspirational video on how technology in medicine is evolving to create shocking inventions that are changing our universe. We were then asked to apply various research methods in order to solve one of the GCCs. This session enhanced my knowledge about the various research methods that we can use in our future, for instance, studying in university.]]> 2017-05-25 06:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173767842 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173768913 I think the session was very intriguing and I learnt many new methods of User Research that I never knew before. With these useful, newly found methods, I think that I'll be able to apply them for future circumstances ]]> 2017-05-25 06:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173768913 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173771947 In this session, we watched a video that really helped me to understand that inventing a product is not enough, we need to consider how many people are going to benefit and how many people are going to use it. We were therefore introduced to User Research. These methods are used to come up with the best solution by conducting a research about the people who are going to benefit. These methods will also help us in some of our subjects, for instance, in Business Studies and Sociology. ]]> 2017-05-25 07:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173771947 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173823325 In this session, we watched a video about inventions in medicine, it helped me understand how when inventing a user friendly product not only should it have a good appearance but also cater to all the needs of the ones who will use it. Thus we were taught about User Research and the various methods to truly grasp what the people need. The methods helped us to dig deeper and understand how to make a product that is useful to the customers. I'm sure I will utilize what I learnt through this session in the future! ]]> 2017-05-25 13:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173823325 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173833259 In this session we watched a video about inventions in medicine,specifically an incubator for babies. It showed me that when making and selling a product we have to attend to the individuals requirements as well as interests so that they would consider the product and use it efficiently. Thus discussed different reasearch methods that we could apply when researching on making a product moreover understanding how it may cater to a persons needs.
The knowlesge gained from this session will allow me to progress even more in my futue as these skills will let me help solve the gcc's because I will be able to attend to the people's needs.

We were able to take problems that were given to us us and used different methods to help solve them, looking a problem and primarily focusing on the peoplewho  face it]]> 2017-05-25 14:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173839398 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173843588 In the previous session I had learnt a more in-depth meaning of human centered design , we recalled on a video that summarised exactly how we should design a product. We later went onto finding ways of emotionally and visually understanding a person's needs and problems , and the different methods of analysing the problem we had to solve ]]> 2017-05-25 15:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173843588 https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173847797 In this session, we watched a video about inventions, and it really helped me understand how we need to make products that cater to the consumers needs. One of the key take aways from the video was that the user is never dumb, but the product is. Therefore we need to create products that the user cannot use incorrectly. We were also taught about different user methods and were given an issue, and asked to think about what methods we could use to solve this issue. This increased my knowledge of methods that we could use to solve problems. I believe this knowledge will help me in my current studies, such as Sociology and Global perspectives, as well as my further education.

We had watched a talk on inventions and how the host faced struggles with inventing a type of incubator that can support Nepals conditions. By this, we saw that a product cannot be just without going through multiple trials and those upon basis. At the end we were given a task by which we had to find a common problem, exchange it within the class and use certain method to evaluate the situation and possibly find a solution.These actually did help me as i was introduced to many new way of research. As a sociology student,this was helpful and eash as i could relate this to my syllabus l.]]> 2017-05-25 17:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rachna_shukla15/7cvavogel63/wish/173868838
