Join Andy Schwanbeck for an in-depth discussion in this video Evaluating the design research process, part of Learning Design Research.
- A commonly overlooked, yet equally important step,…in the design research process…is evaluating the actual process itself.…It can be tempting to leave a project…once you've designed a successful solution.…However, it's important to take a step back,…review your overall research process…and discuss what worked well and what didn't.…This will help you to discover opportunities…for other projects.…And it will also highlight areas for improvement…in your process and your final outcome.…In the previous videos, we've shared some strategies…that can help you through this evaluation stage.…
The Big 6 Information Literacy Model…requires two kinds of evaluation.…Judge the effectiveness of your products…and the efficiency of your process.…So let's look at accessing our end product.…The simple idea here is to look back…at your initial criteria and check to see…whether or not your final solution has met them.…Let's use the scenario we've discussed…earlier in this course.…We've been hired to re-brand a convenience store…which is rapidly losing business to its competitors.…
