We had a project from Ms Yong Yeen from Design Tinker. She gave us 3 themes, one was based on crowd management, the other something about elderly and finally one about working online.
My group and I we chose working online as our subject and we had to interview someone who worked online.
The following is the interview I conducted with a primary school teacher who had to switch to working online during Covid.
How do u feel about working online? Do u prefer it or not?
Working online seems gud but wen u meet the pupils u realise that their age limits their reception of ideas when it comes to distance learning
What were the challenges you faced?
Network problems
Lack of attention from certain pupils: u cannot ensure their focus on camera
Analysis of comprehension on behalf of the class: through their body language u can analyse reception in class. U cant do that on camera.
How about the advantages, if any?
U can at least work and share knowledge instead of nothing.
I guess most probably for older students, reaponsible ones it might work. Age makes the difference.
U dnt hv to move out. U can work from simply any place.
And how about the salary of working online?
I'm a govt officer so my salary was the same
Do u feel like working online was made for your profession?
It could be part of the profession
But the kids should be trained for it i guess
.....yes.... I wasn't so prepared for this interview that's why there's only a few answers only.
My group mates interviewed people from other fields such as office workers and designers who had different problems.
Based on the topic we had to find other possible stakeholders and here's a template provided by Yong Yeen with both the people we interviewed and the other possible stakeholders.
Then we included each of the difficulties they told us during the interview and clustered the information into categories.
Then of course we had to select the cluster that we want to work on. And we finally chose comfort while working online. The health section of it.
We then generated a series of ideas in the form of a mindmap.
We then used the template that we were provided with to evaluate the idea and find a better focus. We finally agreed to go towards a furniture design.
This is from the ID, they did a great job in visually conceptualizing the idea. Choosing a stethoscope to add the idea of health behind the idea.
Then a few sketches were made... this is from me.. including a development of the same idea as well.
This from the other members.. Eventually the first idea was chosen.
The ID took over again and rendered the idea in 3D.. also adding the dimensions. The last slide was another template we had to submit.
