Submission Criteria: Innovation by design

Submission Criteria: Innovation by design

It is strongly recommend that you include evidence that you have completed all artefacts, even if you do not consider the artefact useful for the creation of your final design brief. In that case you should ensure that you explain the reasons that you did not find the task useful in your reflections or annotations.

Annotated Portfolio:Ultimately the artefacts and the annotations that you incorporate will tell the story of your journey to finalise a problem definition and a final version of your design brief. Please use the following guidelines/criteria to perform a sanity check for your portfolio before turning it in:

Reflections on the Portfolio:You need toincorporate reflective practiceso that your reader understands what you have learned from undertaking the activities and creating the artefacts.

Brief Description of the Assessment Task For this assessment, you will be required to undertake a range of readings, watch demonstrations of how certain design thinking tools are used in practice and then attempt to apply those tools to understand and frame a wicked problem, and use ethnographic research techniques to ultimately deliver a project brief for an industry problem. In addition you will use design thinking tools to develop a personal and team approach for teamwork in the next course.

Details of the Student Output Your submissions will be a PDF of your PowerPoint presentation (4060 slides) based on a provided template.

The key deliverables from you would include the following:

Annotated portfolio created using the artefacts that you worked on during the course

Reflections on the artefacts and the portfolio

A clear summary of the problem as you have framed it and the key insights youve achieved during the course about your problem and the features and benefits necessary for a meaningful human centred innovation solution.

Application of design thinking tools

Using the template checklist provided, collate and annotate a portfolio of work demonstrating the use of design thinking tools to formulate and apply an integrated understanding of design thinking principles.

40%

Critical evaluation

The extent to which your overall submission incorporates a critical evaluation of the ways in which the design thinking methodologies and tools used in this course have helped you develop an understanding of design thinking principles and articulates the benefits and complexities with the use of design thinking for identifying and defining problems wherein innovation, in its various forms, might be required

30%

Teamwork

The extent to which you have articulated the benefits of collaboration in a design thinking context and an application of the knowledge and skills to team foundations and a plan that outlines your commitment to team success.
