Explore the third step of the design process in this 55-minute webinar focusing on prototyping and testing methods. Learn about various prototyping techniques, emphasizing low and medium fidelity prototypes, to ideate, problem-solve, communicate, and cost-effectively test multiple design solutions. Discover how to effectively test your design solutions and prototypes to refine your design, gain user insights, and validate your problem-solution perspective. Delve into prototype levels, types, and examples of Critical Function/Experience Prototypes (CFP/CEP). Understand the importance of CFPs and explore common prototyping tools and where to find them. Follow a design example for the class, including user personas and both low and high fidelity critical function prototypes. This webinar is part of a series, with links provided to the first two installments for comprehensive learning.
