Design for Just-in-Time
Resource Design for Self-Teaching Computer Science and Online Learning
HCI Master's Thesis
Researcher, Designer, & Author • June 2019 - May 2020
Key Skills: Interviews • User Tests • Research Coding • HTML Prototyping
Users: Adult novices who are self-teaching coding
How might we:
- investigate how just-in-time resources may support self-teaching for new coders
- explore how the design of just-in-time resources effect users
- consier design changes for popular existing resources
Project Phases
Phase 1
- Observation of user with existing resources
- Determine frustrations and rewards
- Coding findings from observations into themes
Phase 2
- Identifying design choices to meet needs
- Creating design sketches
- Implementing Design Mock-up
Phase 3
- Observation of user with re-designed resource
- Holding post-observation interviews
- Coding interviews into themes
