Capturing and Quantifying Prototype Progress in a Design Course Using Automated Means

Capturing and Quantifying Prototype Progress in a Design Course Using Automated Means

Soomro, Sohail Ahmed ; Barhoush, Yazan ; Sánchez Milara, Iván ; Gong, Zhengya ; Georgiev, Georgi V. ;

Full Paper:

"This study aimed to capture the prototyping process in the context of design education using automated means. We used a course on creative design to deploy and test a system comprising blog-based documentation and a prototype capturing photo booth. Over the time span of several weeks, we gathered data relative to students’ weekly exercises and prototyping of an individual project. We discuss the data gathered and quantified from the course in terms of weekly patterns, daily patterns, general prototyping, and documentation characteristics as well as delve deeper into three example projects. The results demonstrate that this system can help students document and organise their prototypes at various stages. As the system provides automatic and effortless documentation, it can motivate students to document while designing. It can also be used to track the progress of students and permit instructors to take corrective action when a student is not progressing as expected."
