The assignment was to answer these questions:
- How was the design process beginning with the initial design of the Web-Based Training to the proposed elements of the prototype influenced by the different backgrounds of the consortium members?
- Evaluate Jim and Iris’s approach to handling cultural differences among consortium members.
- Critique the elements of the prototype proposed by Iris, Jim, and Kimberly. What would you add or eliminate, if anything? Explain.
- What outcomes might Iris expect from the demonstration of the prototype?
- What steps should a designer take to prepare for working on a cross-cultural team?
Professor feedback was that she loved my response to question 3 and that I could have said more on question 4.
