Process


The project started with reviewing existing body of research work done by Quicksand within this sector.

1/ Rapid Prototyping

2/ Probes for Field Research

3/ Service Design and Pilot Strategy 







1/

Rapid Prototyping


Informed by existing studies,
we began by building out plausible use scenarios and digital wireframes, 
prototyping to visualise user flow concepts.

2/

Probes for field research


These were used as culture probes during ethnographic research at institutes in Bangalore and Ahmadabad to understand stakeholder interactions, behavior and perceptions with respect to evolving pedagogy, personalization & mobile technologies.





3/

Service Design and Pilot Strategy


Directly drawing from our insights, a characteristic user persona was defined for the system blueprint with a focus on how to create awareness, trigger action, build commitment and encourage advocacy of the mLearning platform at large.
