This project runs for most of the semester in my UX and UI class. It has won two Sustainability Awards. The first one was a University-wide project aimed at embedding sustainability into the curriculum across disciplines. The second award was for the assignment itself. the assignment, highlighted here, engaged students in ocean sustainability as well as helping them understand the human-centered design process, UX and UI design principles, prototyping and craft. The assignment is available for download via Scholarworks.
I am embedding the Assignment Express Page for the UX and the UI phases. I am also embedding the Sustainability Assignment Express Page and the instructions on how to use the module. Of course, the student work is also embedded - students produce Express Pages where they detail their process as well as their prototypes which are invariably created using Adobe XD and/or Figma.
