Context

This assessment task provides an opportunity for you to demonstrate how your understanding of
the design thinking process and concepts has developed through your engagement in the subject so
far. To achieve this, the task requires you to establish a folio of posts, where you will respond to key
aspects of the two stages (ideation and prototyping) of the design thinking process. This folio
further extends your learning through design thinking in terms of identifying and evaluating complex
problems in a professional context. It provides a space for you to reflect on your developing
understanding of design thinking.

Instructions

As you conclude the design thinking process in this subject, you need to create your second
folio. This final assessment (Assessment 3) is Folio B, covering ideation and prototyping. In
Folio B, you are required to respond to the Discussion Forum activities undertaken in the two
stages (ideation and prototyping) and reflect on the mindset (in terms of disposition) and the
skills and knowledge you have applied. You will also include specific evidence of using the tools
generated through the activities in Modules 4 and 5 to support your discussion.

Consider the following elements:

• Knowledge of the design thinking process in Module 4 – Ideation and Module 5 –

Prototyping
o You should read widely (including scholarly and non-scholarly sources) and

incorporate this reading into your folio. You should explicitly reference
resources consulted and activities undertaken in the subject.

• Take part in the weekly Discussion Forum

o Write posts and engage with the design thinking tools as prompted in the
Discussion Forum activities in Modules 4.1, 4.2, 5.1 and 5.2. Your reflections
should be written in the first person.

• Apply the skills of academic writing and infographics outlined in the Academic Skills

webpage.

• Format and Structure for:

o Part 1: Ideation (750 words equivalent)
1. Participate in the weekly Discussion Forum by writing at least one post

responding to the activities in Module 4.1 (Week 7) and Module 4.2 (Week 8).
2. Provide evidence of your engagement with the tools (e.g. Crazy 8s) as stated in

the activities.
3. Explicitly identify the target people you empathise with.
4. Then, transfer your posts to your Assessment 3: Folio B document, revise and

edit it, add more ideas if necessary, update references and use in-text citations.

o Part 2: Prototyping (750 words equivalent)
1. Participate in the weekly Discussion Forum by writing at least one post

responding to the activities in Module 5.1 (Week 9) and Module 5.2 (Week 10).
2. Provide evidence of your engagement with the tools (e.g. sketches, diagrams,

storyboards) as stated in the activities.
3. Then, transfer your posts to your Assessment 3: Folio B document, revise and

edit it, add more ideas if necessary, update references and use in-text citations.

Note: Alternatively, you can present your Assessment 3: Folio B as a video recording.
Please refer to the Submission Instructions on pages 4–5 of this assessment brief for
