Context

This assessment task provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate how your understanding of the design thinking process and concepts has developed through your engagement in the subject so far. To achieve this, the task requires you to establish a folio of posts, where you will respond to key aspects of the two stages (ideation and prototyping) of the design thinking process. This folio further extends your learning through design thinking in terms of identifying and evaluating complex problems in a professional context. It provides a space for you to reflect on your developing understanding of design thinking.

Instructions

As you conclude the design thinking process in this subject, you need to create your second folio. This final assessment (Assessment 3) is Folio B, covering ideation and prototyping. In Folio B, you are required to respond to the Discussion Forum activities undertaken in the two stages (ideation and prototyping) and reflect on the mindset (in terms of disposition) and the skills and knowledge you have applied. You will also include specific evidence of using the tools generated through the activities in Modules 4 and 5 to support your discussion.

Consider the following elements:

• Knowledge of the design thinking process in Module 4 – Ideation and Module 5 –

Prototyping o You should read widely (including scholarly and non-scholarly sources) and

incorporate this reading into your folio. You should explicitly reference resources consulted and activities undertaken in the subject.

• Take part in the weekly Discussion Forum

o Write posts and engage with the design thinking tools as prompted in the Discussion Forum activities in Modules 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2. Your reflections should be written in the first person.

• Apply the skills of academic writing and infographics outlined in the Academic Skills

webpage.

• Format and Structure for:

o Part 1: Ideation (750 words equivalent) 1. Participate in the weekly Discussion Forum by writing at least one post

responding to the activities in Module 4.1 (Week 7) and Module 4.2 (Week 8). 2. Provide evidence of your engagement with the tools (e.g. Crazy 8s) as stated in

the activities. 3. Explicitly identify the target people you empathise with. 4. Then, transfer your posts to your Assessment 3: Folio B document, revise and

edit it, add more ideas if necessary, update references and use in-text citations.

o Part 2: Prototyping (750 words equivalent) 1. Participate in the weekly Discussion Forum by writing at least one post

responding to the activities in Module 5.1 (Week 9) and Module 5.2 (Week 10). 2. Provide evidence of your engagement with the tools (e.g. sketches, diagrams,

storyboards) as stated in the activities. 3. Then, transfer your posts to your Assessment 3: Folio B document, revise and

edit it, add more ideas if necessary, update references and use in-text citations.

Note: Alternatively, you can present your Assessment 3: Folio B as a video recording. Please refer to the Submission Instructions on pages 4–5 of this assessment brief for more details.

• Referencing: add in-text citations and a reference list according to APA 7th style, using

publications within the last 5–10 years wherever possible.

• Your submission will be assessed against the following criteria as detailed in the marking

rubric on pages 6–10 of this assessment brief: o Knowledge of, and engagement with, the design thinking process, skills and tools. o Depth and analysis in critiquing potential applications and limitations of design

thinking. o Depth and analysis of reflection relating to the design thinking disposition. o Clarity of communication and integration of ideas (including spelling,

punctuation and grammar. o Citation and referencing according to APA 7th conventions.
