Continuing on with my #Ed113 Instructional Design Studio course, I have developed 2 simple personas, the collective traits of the users that would engage with learning experience.
Allow me to introduce you to Poppy
What does Poppy say, were she human?
- I could be a creative machine but my wheels have fallen off
- I lose motivation
- I make lots of things
- I want to see everything, touch things, delight in colorful things
What does Poppy do, were she made of flesh and bone?
- I want make lots of things
- I want to see everything, touch things, delight in colorful things
What would our Poppy think?
- I feel like my hands are tied
- This is not useful-this learning experience won’t help me start/finish things
What would Poppy feel, as a learner in an academic setting?
- I feel overwhelmed by my ideas and goals
Let me introduce you to Henry
