Reflection: Mind Mapping

Challenge

I am a student of Computer Engineering department and our

challenge is to develop an android application. Our project is developing  an application to learning with Augmented Reality. We are the team of 4  of my classmates. I face various difficulties in choosing the way to  approach a new problem which is because the varied ways of developing  the solution which has to be cost-effective and a time-saving approach  simultaneously.     Selection      We go through various design thinking activities/tools, and we

started using Mind Mapping at the work place. Mind Mapping is more  intuitive, more creative, more visual and its more engaging. We go  through to few frequent classes and also schools and collect information  about learning in AR.     Application      We asked the teacher to write down few things that they would

love to have in an app while they are using one. We also gave them the  freedom to install other competitive e-commerce app so that they can  figure out some loopholes if there are any. This is Stage 1 and this is an  individual task. In Stage 2, we then formed 5 groups each of 5 members  and asked them to do a group discussion and asked them to come to a  common approach of what they already have in their individual sheets.  Meanwhile, our developers were analysed each team’s common  approach.  At the end of Stage 2, each of the 5 teams had 1 common list  of features that they want in an app. In Stage 3, our own team of  programmers were involved in the discussions of the 5 list we have got.

Insight      What we as team learned in this process is that, there are different

ways of visualizing your needs. Every individual we called in has a  different way of approaching to learning with AR. Some would don’t  want an AR headset. There are numerous approaches and that being  said, not every approach a demand can be actually implemented in the  actual development because the currently obtained data may or may not  match the analytical data that we already had from past also the  difficulty of actual programming can’t also be ignored     Approach

The only way out of it is to try and see if the student actually love

the new features in the app and asking them for the feedback. They  can quickly give new insights about the new problems that are  occurring in the app or the new features they want in the next update.
