BIG IDEAS

  • User needs and interests drive the design process.

​​

  • Social, ethical, and sustainability considerations influence design.

 

  • Complex tasks require different technologies and tools at different stages.

 

  • Multi-stage design projects benefit from collaborative work environments.

​

Students will be able to understand the following:

​

Defining

  • Identify potential users, societal impacts, and other relevant contextual factors
    for a chosen design opportunity

  • Identify criteria for success, intended impact, and any constraints or possible unintended impacts

​​

Ideating

  • Take creative risks in generating ideas and add to others’ ideas in ways that enhance them

  • Screen ideas against criteria and constraints

  • Collaborate on idea generation and maintain an open mind about potentially
    viable ideas

​​

Prototyping

  • Identify and use sources of inspiration and information

  • Choose a form for prototyping and develop a plan that includes key stages
    and resources

  • Prototype, making changes to tools, designs, and procedures as needed

  • Record iterations of prototyping

​

Testing

  • Identify sources of feedback

  • Develop an appropriate test of the prototype

  • Conduct the test, collect and compile data, evaluate data, and decide on changes

  • Iterate the prototype or abandon the design idea

​​

Making

  • Identify and use appropriate tools, technologies, and processes for the production

  • Make a step-by-step plan for production and carry it out, making changes as needed

​​

Sharing

  • Decide on how and with whom to share product and processes

  • Demonstrate the product to potential users, providing a rationale for selected solution, modifications, and procedures, using appropriate terminology

  • Critically reflect on design thinking and processes, and identify new design goals

  • Assess ability to work effectively both as individuals and collaboratively in a group, including the ability to share and maintain an efficient cooperative workspace

​​

Applied Technologies

  • Choose, adapt, and if necessary learn more about appropriate tools and technologies to use for tasks

       Evaluate impacts, including unintended negative consequences, of choices made about technology use

​

 

Students will be able to do the following:

  • design opportunities

  • relationship between web structure and content, HTML, style, and design, cascading style sheets (CSS), and website functionality and interactivity

  • advantages/disadvantages of websites and content management systems (CMS)

  • website design planning tools

  • HTML text editing software, WYSIWYG HTML editors user interface (UI) and user experience (UX)

  • World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards and responsive and optimized web design

  • domain and hosting options

  • copyright, Creative Commons, fair use protocols for media and content, and ethics of cultural appropriation

  • accessibility and functionality in web design

  • writing for the web

  • principles of creative web design

  • security and privacy implications

  • principles of database creation and management

  • career options in web development and the interpersonal skills necessary for success in this field
