Introduction
In this assignment you will think about the big picture of how your intervention fits into a learning
ecosystem, and write up a use case scenario. This should give you more insight into what specific uses
you may need to design for.
What is a use case scenario? Its basically the story of one user (or group of users) of your tool. Its a
written (or maybe drawn) narrative telling about who this user is, why theyre using the product, and in
what context they are using it. So in the case of ed tech, we like to include things like the age and
background of the learner, why theyre using the product, where, with whom, what are the stakes, etc.
The key thing about a use case scenario is that it doesnt detail all possible users and everything they
might want to do with your technology. You just get to dream up one learner and tell the story of their
experience.
their comments from their parents. Additionally, the teacher reviews the school emergency plan,
simulating one risk at a time, for example, runs a simulation of a volcano eruption. This displays an
area on the map, showing the school position. The interesting thing is that additionally to the boom
thing, the wind direction can be changed, so they realize that maybe the lava won't get to school, but
ashes will do, and they will need to protect their respiratory tract and eyes.
Teacher told everybody that they can access to their projects anytime, and can print their risk maps and
plans.
On holidays their teacher told his experience to one of his cousins, who is also a teacher, and he want to
know more to take this experience to his community.
Kids are so fascinated that they comment all their results with their parents. Fortunately, one of them
works for the government and it seemed interesting this way of engaging citizens.
