Interview & Field Report

In this stage, you will select a person from a different generation than you to interview about how they have used technology throughout their lives. Be sure to consider both digital and non-digital technologies. You can choose someone older or younger than you, and you can talk with a relative or friend or find someone outside of your immediate circles to interview. If you are choosing someone younger, be sure to choose someone old enough or mature enough to reflect thoughtfully on the impact of technology on themselves. After your interview, you will write a report highlighting three things you learned.

Your interview can be formal or informal. A formal interview has an established set of questions you have prepared ahead of time and do not deviate much from during the interview. An informal interview involves talking with someone about the topic in a more general way and asking specific questions as topics arise.

Some suggested question you can consider working into a formal or informal interview include:

Do you associate any form of technology with a significant event or time in your life? Tell me more about that event or time.

What kinds of non-digital technology do you frequently use, or have you frequently used throughout your life?

Has there been any specific piece of technology in your life that helped transform the way you think about something in the world?

How do you use technology in your everyday life? Your creative life? Your work life?

Is there any specific digital or non-digital technology you would have a hard time living without? Why?

How has technology changed throughout your life?

Is there any technology you wish had not changed? Why?

Has there been a specific form of technology that contributed to who you are today? Tell me more.

How are you a different, better, worse, enhanced, safer, etc., person when you use a specific form of technology than when you don’t?

How has your self- worth or self-conception been affected by technology?

You can modify these questions or ask other questions that are appropriate for your interview situation. The above list contains suggested starting points. The idea here is to find connections between your interviewee’s life experiences, self-identity and technology.

After you conduct your interview, write a 750–1000-word field report in which you do the following:

Write an introduction in which you briefly describe the person you interviewed. Include some general relevant about their demographic background (year of birth, gender, where they live, etc.)

Indicate the date when the interview took place. This should be during the current semester.

Identify and describe three things you learned from your interview about the impact of specific artifacts or kinds of technology on this person. Do not relay a transcript from your interview. Choose the three things you think are most relevant to the theme of technology and human experience and that you think had the greatest personal significance to your interviewee.

Write a 5-7 sentence conclusion that reflects on your interviewee’s relationship with technology in general. You can consider some of the same kinds of things you did in part one for yourself. Would they be the same person they are today without a specific piece of technology? Did any of the technological artifacts they talk about change them during a specific time of their life? How is technology in general a part of who they are?

System goals

Create three scenarios: using the system goals you defined in the Analysis phase, construct detailed scenarios. While task descriptions are abstract, the scenario should be concrete, using imaginary details and imaginary users. Follow the user through the steps they take to achieve the goal. An example of a scenario is: “Robert is a 65-year-old with diabetes. He needs to monitor his blood sugar level regularly, and take his insulin shots. Sometimes he forgets..”

Conduct a task analysis: What are the user’s overall tasks or goals when using this product? What parts of the overall task does the system perform? What parts does the user perform? Present in tabular format using the template below.

Specify the conceptual design: Describe the conceptual model in terms of objects, relations between objects, actions on objects, and attributes of objects. Present using the template below.

Create a semantic, syntactic, and lexical design specification for each scenario: The semantic level design describes each function including its parameters, feedback, and potential error conditions. The syntactic level design describes the syntax of the system, using one or more state diagrams. Select a subset of your interface that covers its key aspects. You can also use sub-diagrams (like diagram subroutines) to keep the state diagrams from becoming cluttered. The lexical level design gives the definitions of the tokens.

Describe how communication techniques to include staffing assignment challenges, delegation, supervision, and prioritization impact the improvement of quality as a nurse leader within the context of a multi and interdisciplinary team.

Idea Building Discussion (IBD) #2

This week’s IBD focuses on the aspects of design-thinking and their role for entrepreneurs. After reading previous week’s content (Chapter 4) on the topic of design-thinking, you are required to think about conducting a needs assessment to identify what people in your community need (please note that this is a hypothetical assessment – you are not required to actually go out and collect data). You can start by identifying key demographics and choosing one group. For example, you may choose “parents of school-age children”, “dog owners”, “people in certain age groups” (e.g., senior citizens), “people for whom English is a second language”, etc. Then, answer the below mentioned questions.

Note that for each of the four questions, your response must be detailed and supported by evidence/links/citations:

  1. Where can you find local statistics on the people you are interested in? In other words, which authorities/sources possess the data that you need?
  2. What type of data do you wish to collect, and why? How will that data help you identify problems?
  3. How will you assess the needs of your chosen group/market/customer-segment? What measures will you take to ensure that the information you collect is reliable?
  4. What seem to be the current needs of this group/market/customer-segment based on the information available publicly (i.e., internet search, articles, news media outlets)? Please provide clear examples backed by evidence/statistics/citations.

Next, develop an empathy based interview protocol to capture the experience and needs of a potential customer (please use Chapter 4 notes to understand what an “empathy map” is and what is meant by “interview protocols”). In other words, if you were interviewing a potential customer about a product/service idea that you may have, what questions would you ask and why? Please make sure to develop an introductory script and a set of questions that would help you design an empathy map.

Your responses will be graded based on the following criteria:

  • The amount of information provided and the quality of the content.
  • The accuracy and relevance of the content.
  • Supplementary evidence (links, statistics, citations) and supporting examples.
  • Clarity of explanation and logical reasoning.
  • Quality of language, articulation of thoughts, and correctness of grammar, format, etc.

Know that in order to earn a full score on this assignment, your response must go “above and beyond” the basic requirements. A student displaying “minimal” effort by providing a “bare minimum” response to a question cannot expect to receive full points on it.
