Prompt
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Design a UI/UX paper prototype for the main screen of the embedded application. This can be a simple sketch completed by hand on paper, but how you will convey the data priorities you previously identified should still be clear. Include labels for every component, user interaction, and clickable button. You should also take the time to review the design guidelines from previous modules, as these standards continue to be important aspects of quality design. Revisiting these again and again will be common in professional work.
- Explain how users will access the data. Discuss the data decisions you made in the previous milestone and how they are reflected in your design. Be specific about what data users will access in the application and the steps they will follow. Make sure you address every element that is included in your paper prototype.
- Justify why the design is suited for the user. Your justification should be based on the borrower user story and what you have come to understand about the range of individual borrower needs from your explorations in the previous milestone. Address the following in your justification:
- In what order would the user be expected to work through the application?
- What are your reasons for including specific screen elements?
- Why have you brought certain data elements to the forefront?
- Why will this layout of information make sense to a user?
- How would a user complete tasks in the application?
- Discuss how you balance creativity with the code of conduct Kiva provides. Select two list items from the Kiva Code of Conduct, which is linked in this module’s resource section, and explain how you took them into consideration with your design. Think about the responsibility designers have to serve their users and the organizations where their data is held.
