Feedback was nice. ]]> 2021-03-02 14:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258412128 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258412666 - Yes. User interface is... well... the interface for the user to use the application. UX is then the subjective idea of the experience of usage
- Yeah. You try to answer certain problems or requests made by the interviewees]]> 2021-03-02 14:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258412666 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258413418 I think because this course is more theoretical, I don't have anything to add per se. It would have been awesome to have some professional UX designer from the industry to give a lecture of "Here, this is how I would do this and that". Again, we're in the University, so theoretic aspects have the floor... I, personally would have liked more of that designing aspect, but hey, this is University.

And yeah.. Examples would have been great. Like: Here's awesome UX design, this is horrible...]]> 2021-03-02 14:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258413418 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1258422347 I enjoyed the support, encouragement and motivation that I got from my teammates. Me, Ville and Niklas have been working on together also earlier and I think that this can be seen from the sufficiency and openness we have.

- Can you design for UX? 
Examples?]]> 2021-03-04 09:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1267968047 ehalco https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1267975025 ‒ Your recommendations for the next course

We had a great team! ]]> 2021-03-04 14:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269316809 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269318187 I think the process went quite smoothly since deadlines were weekly and usually on the same day, so you got used to the rhythm. However, I would've probably had the deadlines at the end of the week like Sunday, I feel like it would've worked better with the schedules of other courses. But other than that everything went well.]]> 2021-03-04 14:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269318187 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269318816 In general the process went through reasonably well. There were no challenges I could not manage to overcome. Probably mapping out good UX goals and collecting user data were the biggest challenges.
Overall I would improve data collection and do more testing.]]> 2021-03-04 14:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269318816 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269320763 - It went well. There weren't any huge problems in the process all in all.
- Over the internet working with interviewees.
- Don't really have any improvement recommendations]]> 2021-03-04 14:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269320763 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269320935 This was quite new to me. It was challenging but rewarding, too. For prototyping I used PowerPoint which is not very flexible tool.

I love playing around in the UI side, but the usability being heavily linked to that, I think I can design purely for UX.]]> 2021-03-04 14:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269322104 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269331273 Yes. User use the UI and how they experience using it creates a unique UX. Designing for UX depends much on the goals set for the project.]]> 2021-03-04 14:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269331273 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269333852 I learned a lot, but I did this alone and sometimes I missed discussion]]> 2021-03-04 14:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269333852 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269333894 I know that now, thanks to this course. I think I have lots of more to give to UX design rather than UI design.]]> 2021-03-04 14:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269333894 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269337527 When it comes to UI decisions, it would be crucial to be in the same place at the same time, physically. It helps a lot to just show "Hey, here's my idea". This when you are completing this course as a group.]]> 2021-03-04 14:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269337527 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269339340 - Don't really know what to recommend. More specific areas to concentrate on, maybe?
- Well it came up in the introduction lecture, but I know some people that related on the topic, so it struck me there. ]]> 2021-03-04 14:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269339340 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269340641 The later assignments felt a bit weird to do later on]]> 2021-03-04 14:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269340641 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269341432 Making the distinction requires still some thinking. It not that obvious with this little experience in the topic. Designing for UX can be rewarding when you see how potential users get excited about the possibilities of the product.]]> 2021-03-04 14:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269341432 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269342007 I think that this has been clarified during this course. And I think I can, it is important to understand users and their needs.

Designing for UX is also easier now thanks to learning how to evaluate and define UX goals, and how to design in general with a tool (Figma).]]> 2021-03-04 14:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269342387 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269348944 Having your own topics seems justified in this course. I think this implementation was somehow different than usual because of the pandemic, so it's hard to give any recommendations. So let's just hope we're not facing such challenges anymore in the near future!]]> 2021-03-04 14:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269348944 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269349407 - I did my work alone, so can't really give recommendations or experiences regarding team work.
- It was easier for me to do this work alone, because of the multitude of courses for this period.]]> 2021-03-04 14:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269349407 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269365303 It is good to have some topics at least as examples.]]> 2021-03-04 14:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269365303 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269366864 It was really nice to have a choice.

Just to get the train of thought going. :)
-Own topic works well for this course, but as I said, it would be nice to have some example ideas too.]]> 2021-03-04 14:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269372428 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269385212 My recommendations: more guidance in general. Maybe examples of what kind of assignments were done by others in the course earlier and more tips towards what are good questions to ask for example in data collection.
Topic: Free choice with some ideas laid out is okay. Also could be interesting to have everyone use the same topic as was discussed yesterday.]]> 2021-03-04 15:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269385212 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269389081 I think it's great that we could choose whether to do the work independently or in a group. Some people prefer one over the other, which is totally fine, so it would be nice to have this option in other courses as well. I liked doing this with a pair, we shared the workload and got to discuss different phases of the course with each other.]]> 2021-03-04 15:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269389081 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1269403656 Own topic was nice.

While UX focuses on more intangible like how users feel about certain aspects of design, is it easy/accessible/understandable for them and does the interaction bring joy to them. 

Yes - you can design FOR UX but not the UX itself :)]]> 2021-03-05 14:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1273663633 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1273684248 I think the way topics were chosen for the larger assignment was fine, I think the individual assignments have been good all in all as well! It would help to have a pool of topics given by teacher so attendees that don't have a topic in mind yet can select one from there. ]]> 2021-03-05 14:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1273684248 https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1273691851 I think I would have gotten better fulfilment out of the assignment if I had decided to do it just by myself, in my case the issue was that the topic was clearly decided and driven by me, so I ended up being de-facto project manager and implementer. This led to an imbalance in effort and it was hard to get accountability from others when working remotely.]]> 2021-03-05 14:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ehalco/cuobp2pa21btgdd2/wish/1273691851
