How will it help them? What situation will they be in when they get this resource? Do they want this resource?]]> 2023-09-06 04:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686045105 Taking practical action to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686045230 2023-09-06 04:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686045230 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686048795 Te Tiriti o Waitangi]]> 2023-09-06 04:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686048795 The purpose of the resource/content and the outcomes we want to achieve https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686049471 2023-09-06 04:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686049471 I am not sure 'create' is the right word necessarily - we shouldn't try to re-invent the wheel - but we can collate the best principles and adapt them for our purposes, ensuring they are inclusive of all the work we do. https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686051749 2023-09-06 04:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686051749 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686051939 Design principles that are broad enough to work for all our teams. Be clear about what's not negotiable. Process documents would be useful, especially for newer team members, but they'd need to be able to adapt them for each of our contexts.]]> 2023-09-06 04:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686051939 A generalised process would be helpful but it needs to be adaptable by each team to suit their needs/processes with some 'do not pass go' checkpoints https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686052659 2023-09-06 04:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686052659 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686053636 Representatives across the team and ideally (this might not be possible) representatives of our users.]]> 2023-09-06 04:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686053636 I think there needs to be layers - with broad representation in each of the layers - kind of like a 'working group', 'reference group/s' & 'approval group' model https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686054454 2023-09-06 04:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686054454 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686055170 Other MoE teams that focus on design. For example, there is a service design team somewhere else in the MoE. We have to manage this engagement carefully so the scope of what we want to achieve is manageable. ]]> 2023-09-06 04:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686055170 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686069483 One of the most important aspects of design processes is to make sure we don't just to design our good ideas. Design processes help us get out of our heads (our brilliant ideas, our biases, our blind spots, our experiences) to produce something that is truly useful for our audiences - and isn't just what we think they need or what we think is good for them. If something is truly useful for the audience, we have more chance of users using it and more chance of us achieving the changes we want to achieve with the sector. I've read a couple of user experience experts who have said that education institutions are particularly bad at thinking they know what their audience wants but actually really misjudging this. Good user-centred design processes guard against this misunderstanding.]]> 2023-09-06 04:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686069483 https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686127362 High-quality curriculum resources that are useful for the audience and help achieve business goals don't happen by chance. They are a result of skilled people following robust processes. A lot of the things that make something high-quality are invisible to people using it. We need to understand and use the processes that produce quality resources.
Consistent processes result in consistent quality of resources, and so the audience know what to expect when they see Te Poutāhū resources. ]]> 2023-09-06 05:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/haleylpayne95/nhhjygobbrxko5o0/wish/2686127362
