Teach concepts used in phase 02(mindmap, journey map;if needed) in phase 03, to help new peoples create a cohesive team voice. | PRD Figjam Board | | UXR | - Tested key functions with six students, showing success in onboarding and gameplay exploration, with intuitive design elements
Tested with five educators on tasks like dashboard use and student tracking, highlighting app simplicity and areas for improvement
Refined the student persona to reflect real user experiences
Identified potential program partners for app content (Energia SOI, GraphoGame, Dynseo, Nessy)
Researched local device trends to inform future app development
Created user testing guides with approachable language for students and educators, collaborating with UX teams for refinement | - Conduct further usability testing of educator side of app with DFN trainers if possible (consider unmoderated usability testing if scheduling is difficult)
Use terms like “character” instead of “avatar” for student side of app
Make game tutorials interactive and step-by-step rather than a video
Simplify reset password steps, with options for parental management or alternatives like touch/face ID

**Our work was heavily contingent on the UXD A/B teams. Our progress was closely tied to the screens they designed and the opportunities we had to provide feedback on the copy. | Content Style Guide
Competitor & Comparator Analysis
UXD B Cognitive Game Puzzle Screens
UXD Prototype with Copy Annotations and Feedback (student profile, sign up, and dashboard) | | Solution Architecture | Settled for AWS as it elastic and scalable, responsive to changing seasonal and daily demand, and reliable to learners.The following AWS services fits the technical requirements:
Architecture requirements: Using AWS Amplify for front-end Hosting.
Data Processing: Resolved on using Amazon Polly for Text-to-Speech like an audio playback
Amazon Transcribe for real-time Speech-to-Text recognition.
For user management and secure log in, Amazon Cognito.
Amazon S3 for storing learning materials, audio, and visual aids. Then AWS DynamoDB as a database for storing user progress. | Collaboration between UX teams, Solution Architect and Developers.
Using Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) for Data Encryption, Amazon QuickSight for usage data and progress tracking, and Amazon CloudWatch for app performance.
Design a high-level architecture diagram of how the app should look like. | | | | | | |
